Let's be honest about what Upstairs at Caroline is: a rooftop bar bolted to a downtown hotel, with fire pits, giant Jenga, cornhole, and a wall of TVs.
Let's be honest about the setup: Corinne lives inside the Westin at The Domain, which usually spells beige hotel food and a bar that closes when the conference does.
Ground floor of the JW Marriott, which sounds like a red flag for anyone allergic to hotel dining, but Corner plays it smarter than that.
Corinne sits inside the Vaughn in East Austin as one of the more dependable answers to a genuinely difficult local question — where do you go when you want the cooking and the room to be good without the whole evening becoming a production?
