Austin outpost from legendary Lockhart, TX BBQ family. Great patio and selection of TX beers and sodas (think Big Red). If BBQ is on your Austin agenda, this should be your first stop. Get the brisket and sausage!

So close, so fantastic! Great dive bar from the hometown team behind the local-favorite North Loop bar, Workhorse. Solid selection of Texas drafts and liquor, outdoor patio, good jukebox, and tasty Pastrami-centric deli food truck open late. It's literally less than a block away!

Quirky little-know dive bar serving canned beer only just past Mount Bonnell. Last time I was there an old lady with a mullet and a wolf t-shirt gave me a koozy for my can of Lone Star and I drank up on the roof among the treetops on a sunny afternoon. What more do you want of your Austin experience?

Secret Mezcal & Tequila bar above a Mexican restaurant. You have to enter through the front yard another fine bar, School House Pub. Very friendly and informative bartenders. Try a mezcal flight: sip from little terra cotta cups with chile-salt dipped oranges on the side.

Sightseeing

Must do overlook of the Colorado and Austin hill country. Lots of steps to the top, so leave your pointy boots and stilettos at at the house. If you work up a thirst, drive about a quarter mile past the entrance to the Dry Creek Saloon for a cold one. It's weird in a mostly good way.

It's a pedestrian only bridge spanning Lady Bird Lake connecting two great sections of the hike and bike trail. Best place to catch sunsets and skyline view. It's where I proposed!

Shopping

Gigantic gourmet grocery store from Texas grocery institution, HEB. Originally intended to compete with Whole Foods, CM has become more of a foodie destination with rare imports and second to none meat, seafood, and produce. Good for groceries, fun to roam and graze. Easy walk
