![]() ![]() This year’s SX is a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual events. There’s also a strict bag policy for those two venues: only clear bags. Those attending film screenings at the Paramount (where Eva Longeria’s biopic film about the supposed creator of the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos will premiere) and State theatres won’t be allowed to bring in food or drink. This translates to an even larger crowd potential. Rick Kern/Getty Images for for Disney/National GeographicĪnother important factor to note: As with other years, SXSW’s music portion overlaps with the University of Texas at Austin’s spring break and Saint Patrick’s Day (which means hoards of people clad in green in search of possibly green beer). José Andrés pre-recorded a message for the premiere of We Feed People at SXSW 2022. Bookings are available the day before said events at 9 a.m. If there are specific official SXSW panels and movies you want to attend, it’s worth downloading the festival app and requesting express passes for desired events through SXXpress Pass. Considering all of this, have a backup plan, or two, three, or four in mind. Capacity numbers for venues are typically strict, and will probably still be stricter this year, and it’s safe to expect a lot of attendees this year. ![]() While, yeah, most SXSW-affiliated events mean badges or wristbands are required or prioritized, there are still many events that are also open to the public.Įvents and parties tend to fill up fast, so you might not get into your first-, second-, or even third-choice programs. You don’t necessarily need to have an official badge or wristband to partake in many of the hundreds upon hundreds of panels, parties, dinners, concerts, and so on during SXSW you just have to be willing to wait in lines. ![]() Whether you’re a veteran attendee, a local who participates in the mayhem, or someone who happens to be visiting Austin for the first time (though trust us, the city is very, very, very different during these ten days), SXSW is a huge undertaking.Įater Austin is here to help with very crucial tips and advice to help master the sprawling festival from Friday, March 10 through Sunday, March 19, covering interactive, film, and music segments with plenty of food and drinks. Let the drinks flow with the craft cocktails on tap, like Cool as a Cuke (Tanteo jalapeno, Solerno blood orange, cucumber, lime) and an Apricot Spritz (zephyr gin, Aperol, Giffard apricot, strawberry, bubbles), or if you visit on Saturday, a bucket of beer.South by Southwest (SXSW) is back this month - after one cancellation, one virtual iteration, and its first in-person/virtual hybrid this decade (which is now the norm). Head to Aloft to check out Upstairs at Caroline for the ultimate urban backyard party, complete with giant Jenga, Foosball, and corn hole. ![]() Stop by for a So Co Marg (Altos Plata, combier, salted watermelon, lime, agave, black lava salt) or a Texas Sipper (Tito’s, elderflower, blood orange, topo chico) to unwind from the busy Austin streets. Located on the fifth floor of the JW Marriott, Edge Rooftop features specially curated cocktails in a laid-back atmosphere embedded in scenery spanning the length of downtown. Corinne’s classic cocktails are an Austin staple, featuring authentic, regional flavors with choices including the signature Old Fashioned (Brush Creek Bourbon, Vanilla Demerara Sugar, Walnut Bitters) or a San Jacinto Spritz (Sandman Fino Sherry, Raspberry, Mint, Lemon Juice, Sparkling Wine). Explore Zanzibar’s modern tiki cocktails, like the frozen Zanzibar Swizzle (rum, hibiscus, ginger, allspice, and lime) and The Devil & the Deep Blue Sea (bourbon, pineapple, orgeat, orange, lemon) next to picture-perfect views of downtown. The Marriott Downtown is home to both Zanzibar, the tropical rooftop terrace and pool oasis, and Corinne, one of the largest outdoor patios on West Cesar Chavez Street. Enjoy a refreshing watermelon margarita (Teremana Reposado, Grand Marnier, Watermelon, Hibiscus Agave, Lime) by the pool as the weather heats up, or sip a hot toddy (Wild Turkey 101, Allspice Dram, Lemon, ginger, served hot) by the fire pits as the sun goes down. If you’re looking for a respite from SXSW Austin, Azul Rooftop, Zanzibar, Upstairs at Caroline, Edge Rooftop, and Corinne’s patio are ideal spots to enjoy a cocktail or quick snack away from the main event foot traffic.įrom Instagrammable views to lounging at a private cabana, Azul Rooftop Bar at the Westin is the perfect escape. ![]()
