Austin Bachelor Party Budget: What to Actually Expect
Real numbers, no BS. Here is what an Austin bachelor party actually costs.
Every bachelor party planning guide dances around the budget question with vague advice like "it depends on your group." Here is the actual breakdown of what an Austin bachelor party costs—real numbers, no BS.
The Quick Answer
Budget weekend: $600–$800 per person
Solid weekend: $800–$1,200 per person
Baller weekend: $1,500–$2,500 per person
That is for a Friday-Sunday trip with accommodations, food, drinks, activities, and nightlife. Austin is significantly cheaper than Vegas, Miami, or Scottsdale.
Accommodations: $100–$250/person
The house is your home base, and in Austin, it is the move.
- Budget ($100–$150): Decent 4-bedroom house, bit outside downtown
- Mid-range ($150–$200): Nice house close to Rainey Street, pool, outdoor space
- Baller ($200–$300): Downtown location, rooftop, hot tub
Food: $150–$300/person
Austin food scene is legit. Typical breakdown:
- Breakfast: $0–$15 (stock the house or taco spot)
- Lunch/BBQ: $25–$40 per meal
- Dinner: $50–$100 per meal
- Late-night tacos: $10–$15 (mandatory)
Activities: $100–$400/person
This is where costs vary most:
- Lake day (boat rental, split): $75–$150
- Shooting range: $50–$150
- TopGolf (2 hours): $30–$50
- Go-karts: $25–$60
- Pool at the house: Free
Nightlife: $100–$300/person
Austin nightlife is refreshingly affordable:
- Rainey Street: No covers, beers $6–$10, great night for $50–$80
- 6th Street: Cheaper drinks, $40–$70 per night
Pro tip: Pre-game at the house. A few drinks before you go out cuts your bar tab significantly.
