New Orleans
Shangri-La
Shangri-La brought its iconic tiki vibe to East 6th Street in 2008, creating equal parts dive bar, cocktail lounge, and beer garden. The horseshoe-shaped bar sits beneath an iconic rooftop neon sign, with a free pool table and expansive back patio featuring a one-of-a-kind food truck. Dog-friendly, with happy hour til 9pm and Baton Creole cuisine parked out back, Shangri-La delivers casual tropical escapism. Monday trivia nights and two-dollar Tuesdays keep locals coming back. Open 2pm-2am most days, this East Austin institution has even hosted Bill Murray behind the bar.
