Despite the 101° weather, Juan and Liz greeted me with smiles and incredible Customer Service! They made sure that I had exactly what I wanted to eat and drink all night and went the extra mile! The space itself is lovely with great music and a couple video screens. It also has panoramic views of downtown Austin! Not to be missed.

The rooftop lounge has a chill vibe with a great view. The bartender, Jerome, and waitstaff are super-friendly and gave us great recommendations for hidden gems around the city to enhance our time in Austin. Also accommodated a colleague with gluten allergies and helped her find a drink to suit her tastes.
Bonus: the sushi here is better than you’d expect for a lounge. Usually places like this coast on scenery and skimp on quality but the Chef is amazing and cuisine - while limited - is great.

The food, the drinks, the seating, from the time I sat down until the time I left, I felt decadent. Such a stunning view. The food was amazing, I had the chicken club sandwich which literally melted in your mouth. And definitely try the wine slushies!

My daughter bought me an "igloo" experience for my birthday. From their website this is what she THOUGHT she was buying:
Details
Igloo comes with:
a complimentary build-your-own hot chocolate station
complimentary cookies for your party
complimentary polaroid pictures
games
vinyl record players with your favorite holiday tunes.
Designated server for your party
Monday night holiday movie
The weather was perfect and the views were spectacular. Valet parking was very convenient. The igloo was pretty.
Yes there were 2 games and a record player with 2 vinyls.
There was no movie. And yes we were there on a Monday eve
But the hot chocolate station? Seriously? How can you possibly call 2 Swiss Miss packets, a handful of mini marshmallows and 3 candy canes a DIY hot chocolate station (see enclosed photo). Why bother?
The cold cookies were ok. But 6 for a party of 7? Ugh. Yes the server did bring more when we pointed that out.
Polaroid pictures? We got 1, with only 4 of the 7 people actually in the photo.
And I am not sure what they meant by designated server. What we got was 1 absolutely delightful young lady that was working the ENTIRE roof top bar area alone.
So while we certainly enjoyed our time with the family & the lovely view it was a ridiculous waste of $$ and not worth the effort to get there. And certainly did not match their event description. While I won't say it was false advertising it's pretty darn close.

I had such a wonderful time visiting the rooftop bar Otopia. The manager, Emma, was very helpful with our menu selections for snacks and cocktails. Everything came out quick and was super delicious. Emma even offered to take a picture of us! I will be back to enjoy Otopias lovely atmosphere, tasty treats and phenomenal service soon!

Otopia is a great place to visit day or nighy. Nice pool, great view and exceptional service. Food is great appetizers and they will get desserts from main restaurant. Service by Trent and Olivia was off the hook. Really great spot to rekax with family and friends.

Fun cocktail menu with upscale appetizers and great energy! Bar is pool side and overlooking the cityscape of Austin. Kelly treated us to wonderful cocktails, great conversation and lives and loves the local Austin scene. A must stop if you are visiting or staying at the AC Hotel or The Otis in the university district. Try a pomegranate margarita or ask Kelly for her signature pineapple tequila “Kelly special.” Request it spicy for a Jalapeño kick!

Some of the best views of Austin and the only place in the campus district you can get the "Kelly special."
Thank you for the great review of the team and property have to offer.

Victoria offered prompt, exceptional service. We ordered an aviation cocktail with Mezcal, and they were able to swap out some of the sweet liqueurs for a raspberry liquor and it came out just fine. I’ll admit that I didn’t love the house bourbon, as I felt it was below the level of a decent bourbon.
We ordered wag you beef tartare that was delicious.
The views are unparalleled of the city, and on a warm night, it is absolutely beautiful. Even if it’s a little chilly, find a seat at the fire pit, and get cozy.

We stayed at the hotel and were able to enjoy pre and post dinner drinks. Perhaps it was the season, but the rooftop bar was quiet both times and we almost had it to ourselves. The view during sunset is very nice, and goes well with a mixed drink. Bartenders and servers were all very friendly (we tipped well in response) and helpful with advice about what to do in Austin. It may get more crowded when there are more people in the hotel, but on Parents' weekend we had no trouble finding a place to enjoy the sunsets. Get a mixed drink, the bartenders really know their craft.

We were not able to experience Otopia due to weather. However, we still had an excellent date night, thanks to Jason. We drove down for the Movie Monday event and we were disappointed to hear that it was cancelled. We had driven downtown for this event and we were sad we had not received a notice of the cancellation before arriving. However, Jason was very apologetic and absolutely amazing. He made us feel so welcomed and went above and beyond for us. He provided some wine (Merlot, which was delicious and I might be going back just to get some more) along with making a last minute reservation to their restaurant, Acres 41. We really enjoyed our time at the location and just wanted to make sure Jason was acknowledge for his amazing customer service and for making sure we had a great evening!

Paula was awesome during our post-F1 time at Otopia, juggling kids mocktail orders, food, and drinks. Great attitude and amazing service. And, when we encountered an issue with the app, Emma went and grabbed food from the burger place downstairs for us!

The Otopia features an incredible rooftop view and pool, but what really shines is the friendly and engaging service. My new friend Jerome poured terrific drinks and shared stories and wisdom of Austin and beyond. He and Emma helped make my afternoon a perfect mixture of cocktails, relaxation, and fun.

Paula was amazing. Ordered a Manhatten and her expansive knowledge of bourbons led her to suggest the hotel brand Brush Creek. It was amazing and I ended up buying 3. I should hire her for an outside sales job! Great Hotel and Great Rooftop bar. Too bad it is so close to UT. Gig ‘Em! Scott

Finally decided to check this place out and let me tell you… beautiful views and an amazing staff! My friend and I started at the bar and had a fun conversation and got solid drink recommendations with Courtney and Ferman (self-titled the Turkish Delight). After it got more crowded we moved to a table where both Victoria and Ariana took great care of us and made sure to include us in their rounds even if our drinks were still full just to check on us and say hi. Will definitely be visiting next time I’m in town!
