How to Have the Perfect Austin Bachelorette Party


Concierge Services

If planning all the details of a trip isn’t your thing, try using a Concierge Service. They can plan your whole weekend and take all of the stress off of the bride, MOH, and bridal party’s plate.


Parts of Town

When visiting any new city, understanding the different parts of town is key to knowing where you want to stay, where to go, where to eat, and what best fits your tribe’s ~vibe~. In general, Downtown, East Side Downtown, South Congress, and Lake Austin or Lake Travis are super popular with groups.


Hotels

Once you understand what part of town you want to be in, look into hotels. Here you can find our favorite hotels sorted by location.


Vacation Rentals

Activities

Now into the details! Outside of just eating and drinking, you typically want to try to find some type of activity. Depending on the time of year, you can see which activities we recommend by the season. Austin truly has some of the best things to do so be sure to try to hit at least one of these during your visit.


Restaurants

Our favorite topic—food. You’ll find a list here of our favorite restaurants for large groups sorted by area of town. We include the best spots that take reservations so you won’t find yourself stuck with a large group of hangry women and a long wait.


Bars

A bachelorette party wouldn’t be complete without one the booze. We sorted our favorite bars in the city by area, depending on where you’re staying or what part you want to visit each day.


Day Trips

Being in the center of a large state like Texas, there are also so many towns near Austin that are great for day trips. Check out some are ideas, which are also great for local brides who want to do something close to home and on a budget!


Transportation

Be sure to ride in style no matter where you’re going! Whether it be a limo picking you up from the airport, or a cute party bus to take you on a day trip or out to the Lake. Always be sure to utilize all of the transportation services Austin has to offer—especially on a weekend that is likely to have heavy drinking involved!


Workout Classes

Of course Austin is one of the healthiest cities in the nation, so a vacation here wouldn’t be complete without some type of workout. There are a ton of fun group exercise classes that can be a blast for a bachelorette party. You will certainly earn all of the eating and drinking during weekend!


Spa

For those looking for a more relaxing weekend, Austin still has you covered. Check out some of our favorite spas (one even offering a Water Taxi Ride service on Lady Bird Lake!).


Grocery Delivery

Not a super sexy topic—but a necessary one. This is an optional add-on but we always think it is a great idea to do grocery delivery to wherever you’re staying. No one wants to land from the airport, Uber to a grocery store and try to shop for the weekend with 10 women. No one wants that. Make it easy—build your cart beforehand with snacks, drink mixers, and drunk food (#frozenpizza) and have it delivered to your doorstep. You will be so happy you did.

Pro Tip: Have your booze delivered too with Drizly.
