After Your Austin Boat Rental - The Cloak Room

The Cloak Room

Unwind Like a Local: Pairing Your Lake Austin Rental Boat Adventure with a Classic Austin Vibe at The Cloak Room

You've spent a glorious day soaking up the sun, making new friends and cruising the serene waters of Lake Austin with Bat City’s Austin Boat Rentals. The gentle breeze, the stunning waterfront homes, the peaceful escape – it's the quintessential Austin experience. But as the sun begins to set, the adventure doesn't have to end!

Austin is renowned for its vibrant nightlife, and conveniently located near the Texas State Capital, you'll find a true Austin gem: The Cloak Room. This isn't your trendy, flashy bar; it's a legendary, no-frills dive bar that has been serving up stiff drinks and good times to locals and in-the-know visitors for decades.

Why We Love The Cloak Room (and You Will Too!):

• Old-School Austin Charm: 

  Step inside The Cloak Room, and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. The dimly lit atmosphere, the well-worn wooden bar, and the unpretentious vibe create an authentic Austin experience that's increasingly rare. Forget the fancy cocktails and velvet ropes – this is where you come for a genuine drink and conversation.

  
  

• Strong Drinks, No Fuss: 

  The bartenders at The Cloak Room are masters of their craft, focusing on pouring generous, well-made drinks without all the unnecessary bells and whistles. Whether you're craving a classic Old Fashioned, a refreshing gin and tonic, or a perfectly mixed margarita, you can count on a quality pour every time.

  
  

• A True Local Hangout: 

  While visitors are always welcome, The Cloak Room has maintained its status as a beloved neighborhood bar. You'll find a diverse mix of Austin characters here, from musicians and artists to longtime residents and UT students. It's a fantastic place to soak up the local culture and maybe even strike up a conversation with a friendly face.

  
  

• Perfect Post-Lake Austin Pit Stop: 

  After a relaxing day of boating and enjoying the beauty of Lake Austin, sometimes all you want is a laid-back atmosphere and a strong drink. The Cloak Room delivers exactly that. It's conveniently located near a quiet corner of The Capital and offers a welcome respite from the more crowded downtown scene.

  
  

• Live Music (Sometimes!): 

  While not a dedicated music venue, The Cloak Room occasionally hosts impromptu live music sets, adding to its unique and unpredictable charm. You never know what kind of Austin flavor you might stumble upon!
