Kitty's is a chill spot to get a good drink. The espresso martini is stiff! They had a nice brunch-ish special on mimosas on Saturday. Up until this past visit, I had only sat inside at night. I sat outside last weekend and it was more lively out there. More people, more socializing. Wish more people came here! The service has been great when I've been there. Friendly staff. No complaints here. read more

If you have a bad time at Kitty Cohen's, that sounds like a you problem. Happy hour prices are a steal, cocktails range from classic to creative and not a dud on the menu, and the frozens can't be beat on a hot day (which is most). The little pool outside is adorable, perfect to dip your toes in and pretend you're at a fabulous resort somewhere. Plenty of space, indoors and out, to chill with friends or relax solo. Plus, easy street parking. The only thing that's missing is food, unless there's a special event, but walk a few blocks and grab a bite somewhere else if you need to. They won't be mad if you bring something solid to to pair with your drink. read more

The BEST venue for events! The staff is amazing, drinks are amazing, so easy to work with them. Truly an amazing experience. Vibes are amazing, especially when it's warm out and you can dip your feet into the pool! Weekends are killer with DJs and food pop ups! Overall amazing spot! read more

Went to this interesting, fun venue with my wife, and two friends, on their invitation last night. Got lucky and parked across the street, but I think parking could be a bit challenging later on in the evening. The place was decorated for Hanukkah, which is a change of pace from typical Christmas decorations this time of year. Nice touch. A woman named Ming that cooks up some delicious Cambodian food put her Hanukkah spin on three items, and all were good, but special mention for the curry matzoh ball soup which was fantastic! Outdoors would be fun on a bit warmer evening. Inside was comfortable. Variety of drinks. I enjoyed the evening and will return one day. read more

I've been going to Kitty Cohen's for years and it was hit or miss for me at first, but now I love it. The turnaround point was when I was an extra for the show twentysomethings and they filmed a scene here. I got a drink ticket or two, but I befriended the bartenders and ended up getting hooked up all night. I've enjoyed their pop up Halloween bar when that happens. But recently Kitty Cohen's added a Sunday night whisky special... all top shelf whisky is half off and they have $7 Old Fashioned's. Amazing! Always great service from whoever's working. Wish this place was more hoppin'. read more

My boyfriend took me here because he's been here a lot with his friends, and we needed to pass the time before a movie. He'd never been here during the evenings because it's supposedly jam-packed and filled with people during the day. I can definitely sense the vibe because there's a pool in the middle and their drinks are really reasonably priced. We sat at the bar on a Sunday evening during MDW, and there weren't many people at all. However, the bartender was really nice and kept checking in on us. My boyfriend and I tried the aperol spritz and their frozen hurricane. Both were quite good, but the frozen hurricane was the best. I would love to come back during the day! read more

Been coming to Kitty Cohen's for many years ever since they first opened. It's always a fun laid back chill vibe. This Sunday they had free crawfish from Eastside Boilers. There was a line that stretched to the door for crawfish and yes it was packed, but on the positive side it was a gorgeous sunny day and we ordered some drinks to dip on while in line. The crawfish were on the smaller side, but full of flavor and spicy too! Had such a great time grubbing on some crawfish and hanging with friends! read more

One of the bartenders was extremely rude. He determined that I should be cut off and they gave me water, which is fine. I tried to pay for my friends who were drinking. When I told the manager his bartender was rude he tried to kick me out. I left. I will not be back. Their customer service is appalling. The manager was upset when I asked for his bartenders's name. read more

Came here for a night cap after getting dinner nearby and this bar was so cute! They have such a nice backyard patio with a mater feature and plenty of seating. Our drinks were all great and the bartenders were very nice. I am looking forward to coming here again! read more

I've visited Kitty Cohen's several times, and the signature Frozen Creamsicle is my go-to--it perfectly captures the vacation vibes of the place and takes me back to those hot summer days as a kid. It's dog-friendly, so I'm always bringing one of my pups for a visit. The venue is small, with limited seating--there's the main outdoor patio, a bar inside with cozy indoor seating, and a tiny pocket space people forget exists. While Kitty Cohen's doesn't offer food itself, it relies on supper clubs and pop-ups that make this place super crowded (the most recent one being free crawfish from Eastside Boilers). read more

Super cute spot! I didn't try any of the drinks personally, but people in our group did, and they really enjoyed the happy hour specials. We went on a Monday night in Dec and it wasn't busy at all, plus there were some cute Hanukkah decorations in the patio area. read more

I was unsure of what I was walking into but boy oh boy was it a great choice. From the frozens to the great vibes (and Yahtzee) it's worth a visit... love the mini pool + pool table read more

One of the very best cocktail spots in Austin. It's especially fun during Hanukkah when they go all in with big decorations and special drinks! Grab a few cocktails and a seat by the pool, but be warned - It's pretty romantic. The last time I went on a first date here it became my last one ever. The entire staff is great, but we especially love Kenny! read more

Love love this bar! As a day drinker I like that Kitty Cohen's is open early and on Mondays with a great happy hour! Everytime I visit I always feel like I'm transported to somewhere tropical, I really enjoy sitting in the backyard and reading a book.

I had a nice visiting this bar. It's super cute and I love the outside and inside ambiance. All the servers are great and they had Zee's Wiener System there so I ate two hotdogs while having my drinks. The hot dogs were a pop up but they were absolutely delicious!!!! I went early in the afternoon and although it was hot and sunny the inside bar was cool so I bounced in and out. The DJ was playing amazing music and it was a cool spot. Everyone there was so nice. The women's bathroom had these beautiful flamingos which made the decor stunning! read more

Small but cute bar! The drinks were on point! I loved their dreamsicle and house margarita. My boyfriend enjoyed the bees knees cocktail. The ambiance is cool and I liked the vibe. The dried Oranges and lemons were a nice touch on the drinks. It was a bit chilly outside and the patio heat lamps weren't on. We actually saw a patron trying to turn theirs on herself. Once there was space inside we finished our drinks there. There was an employee walking around clearing tables. It was odd though, she would clear glasses of those that weren't even finished. A dog was tied to a table with drinks and we tried yelling they weren't finished before she grabbed the cups. When inside she quickly grabbed my boyfriend's drink without asking if he was finished with it...he wasn't. It happened so fast. Parking is available on the street, check for no parking signs. read more

I have kept Kitty Cohen as a personal secret ever since Luci H introduced me to this gem a few years back, and she has been the reason why I even get an ounce of street cred. Before East Austin, was East Austin (IYKYK), then y'all will understand that a few years back Kitty Cohen's was a safe haven for locals and the true cool kids of the city. The ones who are such badasses with their own sense of style, flair, appreciation for live music, and didn't exude any of the LA-ish wannabe behavior. This spot was like my version of heaven if I ever end up in heaven (pretty certain I have a table reserved in Hades lol). The Palm Springs vibes, mini wade pool, frose, all with some of the best music and bartenders. What more could one want?! I've loved Kitty Cohen's and it's one of my favorite cards to play when I'm in charge of date night or HH with friends and family. I can seriously die here happy. The drinks are always superb and the energy here is reminiscent of a dive bar your rich widowed aunt whose husband mysteriously passed away would hang out at. Kitty Cohen's personality, as a bar, is one I hope to have in real life. TBH this review probably doesn't make any sense and that's ok because all you need to know is this place is the absolute best damn thing in Austin. Don't y'all dare try to change her. read more

Looking for the perfect outdoor cocktail bar? Look no further than Kitty Cohens! This hidden gem on the eastside is always consistent on good vibes & drinks which was no different on the recent event I went to. What I love about this place the most is the outside pool which comes in handy during our hot texas summers which fun fact they also serve frozen treats like the expresso martini and the dreamsicle which I got to try this go around. Both are super tasty and refreshing but if frozen isn't your thing they also have plenty of beer and wine options as well. Try to come in for deal during happy hour which runs Monday thru Friday from 3 to 6. Ill definitely be coming back once summertime rolls around again. read more

My wife and I dropped by for drinks earlg on Fri. around 4pm...parking on the street was easy, and we really enjoyed the poolside vibe / ambiance and umbrella atmosphere. We were unfortunate enough to have a gust of wind pull our umbrella down on top of us, but only drinks were lost, no injuries, and the bartenders wete quick to comp refills. we began w Aperol Spritzes, but loved our mezcal drinks even more. They had some hot dog booth setup by the pool which was cool, too. Honestly, this is simply a nice place to sit outside, enjoy sun and shade, and sip on nice drinks crafted by some people that know their craft. Dogs were welcome, too. We'll be back. Happy Hour (3-6) was good, but we ordered off that menu for the mezcal and were happy. read more

Marginal beer and wine offerings. Aggressive "security guy" that seem to be on power trip. Uninspiring music and uninformed bar staff.

I AM IN LOVE WITH KITTY COHEN'S!!!! I love the little outdoor wading pool. It's perfect for dipping your feet whilst sipping on one of their famous frozen drinks. It's so relaxing with an upbeat and positive vibe attracting people from all walks of life. I'd give ten stars if I could. read more

Cute spot with a great cocktail menu. The happy hour menu was pretty good. Friday happy hour wasn't overly busy. There was street parking close by. The decorations are vintage and very eclectic. The bartenders are really friendly. There's no food, so that's kinda a bummer. I was hoping there'd be a food truck. Overall a cute spot! But make other dinner plans. read more

Now I see what all the fuss is about. I've walked by this spot so many times and I'm ashamed to say that I'm just now exploring it. Kitty's knows how to make a delicious cocktail. Try the dreamsicle or the banana old fashioned; def my favs. Or at least until I have some of their other interesting looking drinks. The outdoor patio has that naturally comfortable and hip feel that old school austin bars used to have and newer ones strive for. And, as you'd expect, the staff is fantastic. Ten out of ten. You need to stop by as soon as you can! read more

Sigh, I'm not sure how to write a review for Kitty's because I know how popular it is in Austin. I loved the retro vibe and the intimate setting. I was dying of mosquito bites so I can't get past that about my experience. The drinks were good but honestly, I wish I had had a more relaxing experience because the vibe it totally built for it. I sure hope to return at a different time of day to give this place a more fair try. read more

The vibes were great. Had good cocktails. Kenny the bartender was awesome and made solid drinks!

Vibes: I wasn't sure what to expect from Kitty Cohen's, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! It's a cute spot with a front and back patio and lots of seating for parties of 4. Drinks: Lots of awesome sounding drink options. I settled on the Strawberry Feels and it was so good! The perfect amount of sweet and fruity. Overall, I'm happy with my experience at Kitty Cohen's. I'll definitely go back to taste test more of their cocktails and people watch! If you're on the fence like I was, I'd say give Kitty Cohen's a chance! read more

I stopped here with my husband on a Sunday afternoon after our original plans went south. We could find on-the-street parking, a bonus as it was outside the entrance. My husband ordered the banana old fashion, and I ordered the daiquiri off the cocktail menu. Cocktails are getting expensive in Austin y'all! Anyway, his old fashion was overly sweet, and I did not enjoy it. Luckily for me, though, I enjoyed my daiquiri. I do love the chill vibe here and would like to try other drinks and maybe dip my feet in the wading pool. read more

Modestly priced cocktails with interesting flavor combinations and an awesome atmosphere. There was plenty of seating and I loved getting to dip my feet in the pool while enjoying my drink. Ordering my drink was also a walk-up and very quick considering how busy the place was on a Thursday night. I had the Sex Panther, which is good if you like Mezcal but you can't really taste the rest of the ingredients. The adjoining food stall only has two menu options but I had the tofu glass noodles which were bomb. read more

Transformed for Hanukkah - the decorations and drink menu are creative, festive, and such a welcome addition to the usual pop-up Xmas spots and bars. The drinks not only have fun names from Gelt themed drinks to Mitzvah spin-offs, but are also delicious. We ordered a buttered rum concoction, which was a creamy (expected if ordering a buttered drink) and decadent. Highly recommend for holiday stop! read more

I love this place so so so so much. The gimmick is that they've got an in-ground concrete wading pool where folks can cool off their feet in the summertime. It may sound a bit weird but it actually facilitates a very hip summertime vibe. But I come for the cocktails. They're so great. The bartenders know what they're doing, are happy to engage in a conversation about cocktail preferences, and aren't afraid to improvise a substitution here or there. During the holiday season, they host a Hanukkah Pop-Up complete with tacky decor, clever cocktails, and ... get this: a frozen espresso martini and frozen egg nog swirl. Oh, my gosh. It's delicious. The Holiday Pop-Up is fun but this place is a crowd-pleaser all year round. Please don't miss this place !! read more

Nice location, staff is awesome, drinks were just ok, but the ambiance is nice. Especially in the spring

I've been in Austin for years and finally was able to check out Kitty Cohen's yesterday. There's something about sitting next to the pool drinking frose that's makes the Texas heat a little better! We went for happy hour, which is until 7 weekdays. Although it wasn't on the happy hour, we tried the frozen swirl drink and it was delicious! After the swirl, I got the honey lemon gin martini, and my friend got the margarita. Both were in happy hour and both were amazing. The bartenders were also so much fun, and the entire staff is beyond friendly. There's even a cat that hangs out there that may come up to you to say hello! Lastly, we thought they didn't have food but they had a burger food truck there that smelled awesome, that you could order from at your table. We didn't order anything, but will be eating next time! Can't wait to come back! read more
