UNATION Austin is here to help make your fun festivities extra smooth by providing you with amazing ideas and birthday spots around town. Trust us, you’ll want to reference back to the Ultimate Guide on How to Celebrate Your Birthday in Austin!
A birthday party is only as good as its cake, at least in our opinion. We’ve definitely got a sweet tooth!
One of our favorite cakes in town is from Swedish Hill. Their signature cake is not only yummy but colorful and festive.
Master Donuts are always a fantastic idea. Eliminate the hassle of cutting the cake and let everyone grab a letter. Two if there’s extra and you’ve got a long name.
Sugar Mama’s is, of course an Austin favorite, and for those extra special occasions, you can even arrange a cake tasting.
Ditto for Cinful Sweets, where anything from handmade chocolates to elegant cake creations is possible
Whether you’re having a celebration at home or planning on going out, you won’t be the only one looking fabulous. Let’s create a beautiful atmosphere all around with gorgeous decorations and fun party favors too!
Balloon garlands are all the rave right now and our top two faves have got to be from Love Joy & Co. and Alpha Lit Austin. Don’t forget to add a marquee and make your festivities truly unforgettable!
Add a little sparkle to your event with the cutest decor from Packed Party!
Looking for party favors in a bouncy house to keep the party jumping? We’ve got you covered! PackedParty is the best spot for all your goody bag needs, say thank you for coming in the cutest way possible. Want to jump around and burn off those cake calories? (No judging here!) Austin bouncy Co. is the cutest one in town.
Celebrate your birthday in Austin with some of the best activities! If you’re looking to be out and about having loads of fun, we’d suggest some of these top-notch spots you can visit on your big day.
If you’re looking for some friendly competition, Urban Axes is the place to be! It’s a perfect spot because you’re able to do catering and BYOB! We’re sure your friends won’t let you just because it’s your birthday.
With over 150+ arcade games, no one at your birthday celebration will get bored. Be a big kid at Cidercade with $10 all you can play, brews, and pizza too!
For a fun dose of nostalgia, gather the group at Playland Skate Center. Adult Nights are Tuesdays 7-11pm and Saturdays 9pm-12am. Each Adult Night has a DJ (lineups can be found on their social media pages), and those not wanting to skate can grab a drink and watch from the sidelines.
Have a love for animals and the outdoors? Then you’ve got to book a Private Ranch Tour for your birthday! Explore and interact with all the adorable exotic animals at Indian Springs Ranch. It’ll make for Insta-worthy photos!
Ride around town with Hipside Peddler. Bring your favorite beverages (we love hard seltzers) and peddle away into town! Make fun pit stops along the way at murals or delicious breweries to keep the party going!
There’s no shortage of foodie spots in Austin to indulge on your birthday. Whether you’re looking to host brunch, lunch, or dinner you can never go wrong at these beautiful but scrumptious spots!
If you’ve decided to have craft cocktails and bites at Lutie’s Garden for your birthday, those not invited will be green with envy. How could they not? The gardens, the atmosphere, it’s such a dreamy place.
Eberly is so chic, filled with life and character. You’ll definitely want to host your birthday celebrations here. The food is always delicious, the ambiance is relaxed, and the patio is spacious enough for you and your pals.
If birthday cake is not your thing, you might enjoy a night at Antonelli’s Cheese House (which is across the street from the beloved shop). Raclette Night features a tableside melting machine, which lets you melt the namesake cheese directly on to your bread, charcuterie, and veggies (yes, please!). Fondue Night is a bit more hands-on: you make 2 kinds of fondue. Tables accommodate up to 6 people and can be reserved online by checking the calendar for available dates.
You’re sure to feel “at home” when you decide to have your birthday celebrations at Uchi. This place is perfect for you if you’re a sushi lover. Trust us, you’ll fall in love with the Negitoro Maki and all of it’s magical flavors.
If you’re into exquisite tastes then you’ll want to host your festivities at Peached Tortilla. The delicious comfort food from Tokyo to Texas will be the center of attention but it’ll all be thanks to you.
Light Mediterranean bites, cocktails, and views can all be found at P6! We also LOVE that it’s pretty in pink! Cheers to your birthday and breathtaking views.
