What a quintessential tourist spot... really cool artwork design -- it was very quiet midday, which was nice but hard to get someone to take a photo of us!!!
Such a super cute candy, soda tap, and ice cream shop!!!! Not as cheap as the 60s, but it is all so sugary and delicious and fun to watch your soda drink get made in front if you!
Really cool new airport hotel... they're still finishing some parts and minor aesthetics but overall it is awesome, full of nostalgia yet plenty of modern amenities and unique experiences!!!
Unbelievably and unnecessarily long wait (40 min for 3 tacos)... but they were absolutely tasty and very filling!!!!
Cute diner-ish style restaurant, attached to some hotel - right in the heart of South Congress... mostly Mexican cuisine with some American tastes -- drinks were strong + food was hot and delicious!!!
One rotating exhibit near the entrance... then huge sections on overview of LBJ + more in-depth areas upstairs about his policies and impact!!! ~2 hours to explore the whole place, well worth it!!
Never been to a range before, but they seem to be very focused on safety here (which is nice)... it was all very easy and simple + $10 for handgun rental and $7 for bullets seemed quite reasonable!
Right in town and it was great... small, but mighty bbq joint-- sausage fell apart too easily but brisket was mouthwatering and tasty!!! Add some of the sides or ice cream and it was all phenomenal
Really cute small town, about 30 min out of Austin... but not much to do or see here besides some antique shops, a few bbq joints, and a handful of misc restaurants!!
This spot was my fave (near Lockhart)... smoker room smells amazing + plenty of seating with A/C + cheddar brat was juicy and simply perfect + brisket and turkey were rubbed on point, but a tad dry!!!
Huge ass beef ribs, best thing here... plus all the classic meats, brisket is so juicy and pulls apart perfectly!!! All of it is quite salty, but still so tasty and delicious
Full menu with mostly mexican snacks and beer/wines - breakfast tacos, chilaquiles, and burritos were on spectacular, came out hot and spiced perfectly!!!! Line goes down the block, but its worth it!!
Really fun bar here... handful of local beers, but most people were drinking cocktails!!! Great lawn area with some games and small slide, too + plenty of TVs around to watch any sports!
There is much space to eat mouthwatering bbq and drink local tasty beers and enjoy the great live music... draft taps are on the ground floor, plus a small bar with cans/bottles upstairs!!!
Incredible selection of craft beers here, on the menu sorted by type and flavour... pizza and live music is available in the backyard garden!!!
Detroit style pizza, meaning square pieces and delicious filling (all the cheeses... or veggies... or meats... or combo of it all) + it is in the back of Craft Pride and perfect spot for live music!!
Supposedly, the meat is flown in from the original location every morning... either way, the small menu has some delicious and filling meat options!!! Also, a variety of local beers to choose from!
Convenient for anything related to UT, as it is right on the edge of campus... hotel rooms are nice size with comfy bed and mini-fridge and coffee, the sink is separate from the actual bathroom!!
Whole property is very convenient for anything UT related, as it is off major road and right on campus... nice courtyard in the middle with fountain and seating that connects hotel with meeting rooms!
Quite fun outdoor music venue... stage with huge lighting setup and loud sound system, bars are inside off to the side + plus balcony with standing area, overlooking the stage/dance pit
Bone marrow mushroom risotto was phenomenal + beet salad was fresh and tasty + veg sides were also delicious... they offered a special appetizer which sounded really good and staff was very attentive!
Actually meant to check-in on the Butler Hike/Bike Trail, but regardless the trail goes all along the river/lake with spectacular views of the skyline and plenty of shaded seating areas all around
Wonderful scenic spot to catch the skyline of Austin... ya can walk up the grass to the top, or follow the spiral path!!!
Any space that prioritizes pedestrians/cyclists over cars is the best kind of space... southern edge of this bridge is right in the heart of the hike and bike trail along the river/lake!!!
Very small, but the current exhibit (Austin's history of railways/streercar) is really great... there is a nice library attached too!!!
FREE TOURS, only 45 minutes and explains the major areas... otherwise, wander the grounds yourself and explore it all - especially the House and Senate chambers!!! Enter on the south side of the bldg
Very cool concept and great Asian/BBQ fusion cuisine (even tho limited meat menu at times)... skip wonton chips, but definitely order corn fritters and any of the available meats - esp the brisket
Convenient to UT campus, nearby other fast food spots... burgers are mouthwatering and delicious, like any of their other locations
Quality Italian food with wonderful selection of handmade pizzas and pastas (plus, amazing cannolis that are freshly stuffed)... make reservations, as there was a 45 min wait for walk-in on weekend!!!
Came for brunch and it was empty -- food and drinks were on point + staff was very attentive and helpful... would def come back for another meal
