by @ianofAustin

Classic Bachelorette Party Fun

Boat day on Lake Travis or Lake Austin (party barge, pontoon, or yacht rental)

Pink Boat Austin isn’t your typical boat rental—this charter is designed to be the ultimate girls lake day experience. Perfect for groups of up to twelve, this all-pink boat is built for swimming, surfing, celebrating, or simply cruising in style. Each charter comes with a professional, friendly captain who handles everything, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the day. On board, you’ll find pink-striped towels, high-quality surf gear, and a cooler stocked with ice for your favorite drinks. From start to finish, Pink Boat Austin delivers a one-of-a-kind lake experience where every moment is picture-perfect.

Barton Springs Pool

A must for any Austin bachelorette weekend, Barton Springs Pool is the city’s natural gem — a spring-fed oasis that stays a crisp 68°F all year. It’s the perfect place to recover after a night out or kick off the day with a refreshing dip. Out-of-towners will love the local vibe, the scenic Zilker Park setting, and the chance to experience something uniquely Austin. Bring your swimsuits, sunglasses, and a picnic — it’s the ultimate chill spot between all the celebrations.

Rainey Street Bar Crawl

Rainey Street is a bachelorette favorite — lively, walkable, and packed with charm. The bars and patios create a fun, laid-back party vibe perfect for group hopping. You’ll find everything from frozen drinks and live music to late-night tacos, all within a few blocks. It’s the ideal spot for out-of-towners to experience Austin’s nightlife energy in one easy, festive stretch.

6th Street Night Out

6th Street, the city’s most famous party strip. Packed with live music, lively bars, and dance spots, it’s where the night truly comes alive. Whether your crew wants to sing along at a piano bar, hit a rooftop, or just soak up the chaotic fun, 6th Street delivers that classic Austin nightlife energy — unforgettable and a little wild in the best way. Beware, the locals call it “dirty sixth” and there’s a reason for that.

Private Karaoke Room

For a bachelorette night that’s all about your group, private karaoke rooms are a must. Sing your hearts out, pop some bubbly, and laugh through your favorite throwbacks without an audience. It’s the perfect mix of fun and low-pressure — ideal for bonding before hitting the town. A great spot the checkout would be The Highball.

Food + Drink Experiences

Bachelorette brunch at spots like Aba, Josephine House, or Two Hands

Taco or BBQ tour (La Barbecue, Terry Black’s, Veracruz All Natural)

Winery tour

A Hill Country winery tour is a perfect bachelorette getaway — scenic views, great wine, and zero stress. Just outside Austin, you can sip your way through beautiful vineyards with private transportation and plenty of photo ops. It’s a fun, relaxed way to celebrate with your crew.

Distillery or brewery hopping

For a laid-back but lively day, go distillery and brewery hopping around the Hill Country. Sip craft cocktails, local beers, and spirits while exploring the city’s best tasting rooms. Many spots have outdoor patios, food trucks, and live music — perfect for a fun, social bachelorette outing that feels authentically Austin. We like Deep Eddy Distillery, Treaty Oak, and Hold Out Brewing. Hold Out Brewing is located downtown so it’s a different vibe then heading out to the Hill County but great if you’re looking to drink beers in town.

Private chef dinner or in-home catered meal

Depending on your Airbnb, a private chef or at home dinner is a great option! As someone who has been on countless Bachelorette trips, this actually usually is one of the best nights of the trip. One of our favorite’s in town is Charred Hospitality.

Chill, Spa & Self-Care Moments

Spa day

Relax, unwind, and pamper yourselves with massages, facials, and luxury treatments. We have some pretty great spas, if you want a true immersive experience outside the city check out Lake Austin Spa or Miraval. For one in the city, we like Fairmont’s Spa.

Private at home beauty bar session

Think mini facials right at your Airbnb. We have used the BeatiBus and Lisa is an absolute dream!

Creative + Unique Group Activities

Wig Party

Coco Coquette is one of Austin’s most beloved spots for playful makeovers and bachelorette fun. This whimsical boutique and wig shop offers glittery makeovers, custom wigs, and photo-ready glam sessions that let everyone tap into their alter ego.

Outdoor & Adventure Activities

Paddleboard or kayak

Explore Austin from the water with paddleboarding, kayaking, or canoeing on Lady Bird Lake. It’s a relaxing way to take in the city skyline, enjoy the outdoors, and share a fun adventure with friends. Perfect for bachelorette groups looking for a mix of activity, scenic views, and photo-worthy moments.

Walk The Trail + Boardwalk

The Lady Bird Lake Boardwalk is a scenic, elevated trail that winds along Austin’s iconic downtown waterfront. Perfect for walking, jogging, or casual strolls, it offers stunning views of the skyline, the lake, and the city’s natural beauty. With easy access to parks, public art, and photo-worthy spots, it’s a relaxing and picturesque way to experience the heart of Austin.

Day trip to Hamilton Pool Preserve or Krause Springs

Escape the city for a day trip to Hamilton Pool Preserve or Krause Springs, two of Texas’ most beautiful natural spots. Swim in crystal-clear springs, explore lush surroundings, and enjoy a peaceful day in nature. Perfect for a group outing or a relaxing break from the Austin bustle.

Hiking + picnic at Mount Bonnell or the Greenbelt

Take in breathtaking views and fresh air with a hike at Mount Bonnell or the Greenbelt. Both spots offer scenic trails and perfect picnic spots, making them ideal for a relaxing daytime outing with friends. It’s a great way to combine light adventure, stunning vistas, and quality time together.

Evening & Nightlife Ideas

Sunset rooftop drinks

Raise a glass above the city at some of Austin’s best rooftop bars. P6 offers stunning views of Lady Bird Lake and a chic, sunset-perfect atmosphere, while Nido delivers elevated cocktails and modern elegance high above the Loren Hotel. For tropical vibes, head to Zanzibar, where lush greenery and skyline views make every drink feel like vacation. El Alma charms with margaritas and casual Mexican fare on a cozy hillside patio, and La Piscina combines poolside luxury with craft cocktails and Tex-Mex favorites. Editors note: La Piscina is our favorite, the fajitas are best you’ll find in town.

Live music night

Austin’s live music scene is a must-see for any bachelorette group. Catch iconic acts at The Continental Club, a legendary spot for rock, blues, and country vibes, or enjoy lively performances at C-Boy’s Heart & Soul. Both of these posts are located on South Congress so a perfect spot to hit up if you have dinner in that area.

Austin has a vibrant jazz scene, perfect for a laid-back night out or a classy bachelorette evening. The Elephant Room is a cozy basement bar known for intimate jazz performances. Others to check out are Parker Jazz Club or Nica on 4th.

Live show or comedy

Catch a live show or comedy performance at one of Austin’s iconic venues. From hilarious sketches to legendary music acts, it’s a guaranteed way to add laughs and entertainment to your night. Check out Esther’s Follies (for SNL style comedy) , Antone’s, or The Paramount.
