Austin's most famous (& supposedly the best) BBQ joint. Get in line at 6-7am (no joke) if you really want to try it. I recommend a mister, a hat, a camper chair, and a deck of cards to pass the time in line.

Looks like a dive bar, drinks like a 5-star. Billy, the owner, makes a mean cocktail and won't overcharge you for it. You must try their pizza (I recommend the Dana special) - it's my favorite pizza in town!

Austin is the "Live Music Capital" of the world, so I have to recommend this iconic jazz club. It's divey as hell, but the music is fantastic 7 nights a week in the heart of downtown.

This is my favorite bar on Rainey Street. Their drinks are good, the vibe is nice and lowkey, and generally you can still hear each other speak!

Sightseeing

Made of solid Texas pink granite and taller than it's D.C. look-a-like. Take a tour - it's actually pretty interesting - or walk around inside for the history & A/C.

Famous, classic hotel that looks like it's out of the 1800s. It's beautifully decorated and fun to walk around. Stop by the second floor bar to see the gilded ceiling and hear some live music.
