I’ll have an espresso martini and a bottle of sunscreen on the side, please.

Boozy drinks aren’t the only bodies of water in ATX bars.

If you’re looking for a fun, new way to cool off this summer, these watering holes provide much-needed pools during the hottest months of the year.

Here are a few spots where you can have a sip + make a splash:

Kitty Cohen’s, 2211 Webberville Rd., Ste. #3548 | This ATX establishment had a pool before it was trendy. Situated in the center of its Palm Springs-inspired outdoor patio, the shallow pool is perfect for sitting on the edge with a frozen cocktail in-hand.

Simona’s Coffee + Cocktails, 2510 S. Congress Ave. | Located at The Colton House hotel, this all-day hangout overlooks the pool, where you can book a day pass starting at $30.

Swim Club, 650 E. 10th St. | A reservation at the American restaurant in Downright Austin grants you access to the Downtown pool, which is decked out in pink hues and retro decor. You can also snag pool admission via ResortPass.

Cosmic Pickle, 121 Pickle Rd. | The south Austin location of this coffee shop, open-air bar, and wildlife habitat has a brand new Cowboy Pool to dip into, and there’s no pass required.

Cabana Club, 5012 E. 7th St. | The all-day coffee shop, restaurant, and bar invites remote workers to break out their laptops in its spacious clubhouse. Visitors can cool off from the workday in its pool on the patio.

RADIO/EAST, 3504 Montopolis Dr. | Here’s another Cowboy Pools collaboration for you: enjoy a frozen cocktail in the stock tank pool on the patio of the cafe, bar, and music venue. Plus, you don’t need a reservation to take a swim this summer.
