Favourite hotel. Starbucks downstairs and not as busy or noisy as the main hotels which is good when you roll in at 3am ready to drop
crazy cafeteria style set-up threw me for a loop first time but the BBQ is probably some of the best!
Catch the daytime FILTER showcases during music week. 2 bars, access to bathrooms and always a great bill. what more could you ask for
Worth the long haul across the city. The sightlines are great and the sound is spectacular. It just seems like a place you should be able to smoke in.....
It occupies the ground floor of a luxe new condo building--not my preferred restaurant location, but I'll go anywhere for executive chef David Bull's distinctly American comfort food.
Call ahead and lock a table on the patio. Order a hard lemonade and something with pork in it
Attention to detail wins the Noble Pig a spot on our list; the fact that they have the best sandwiches in Northwest Austin doesn't hurt, either. [Eater 38 Member] En savoir plus .
They make their own buns twice a day and have the best condiment bar we know of, but what really keeps us coming back to Burger Tex is the famous Bulgogi Burger. [Eater 38 Member]
This food truck produces what has quickly become one of Austin's, if not Texas', most talked-about barbecue. It's so good they regularly run out of meat; get there early. [Eater 38 Member] En savoir plus .
Two words: Salsa. Doña. The tacos themselves have earned their reputation, but it's this verde sauce that is really why we keep coming back. [Eater 38 Member] En savoir plus .
For my Canadian friends, think the legendary Horsehoe vibe but with high ceilings and ventilation. Great sound, sight lines and service
Come see us at "#Downloaded, the SXSW Interview" -- Wednesday, March 14, 2:00PM - 3:00PM, Room 18ABChttp://schedule.sxsw.com/2012/events/event_MP990376
This 80,000-square-foot store is a site to behold. Sign up for cooking lessons; buy fresh Texas peaches, local Pure Luck Farm goat cheese, and Flat Creek Flat Creek Estate's "Super Texan" Sangiovese.
Top notch staff here. These guys know their stuff so don't hesitate to ask any questions. Hands down this is Austins best record shop.
For the best sound, head to the balcony. The acoustics everywhere else just don’t compare. – Vidhisha B.
The Driskill bar serves up the Batini! Roll like a cattle barron at this landmark of Texas hospitality. Since 1886 the Driskill has offered luxury and great service. Just don’t longboard in the lobby.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget how big this place is. Head out back for the less crowded bar and take your drinks to the picnic table in the alley for some people watching on the Drag. – Robert F.
If you're drinking, try the root beer-infused vodka. It’s a Red 7 specialty. It's also delicious. – Laura B.
"Beet Fries, Veggie Meshi (you've never really tried brussels sprouts til you have them this way)." - Kenneth Macias En savoir plus .
Best NY Style Pizza joint in Austin. Super fast and super delish. Grab a White Pie with spinach slice while you wait and a Eggplant Pie to go
Park yourself on the lone tree on the right. Somewhere to lean and close to 2 bars. Big shows, big sounds, big crowds. Get ready
According to Sl8tr, worth a couple hours break on a Friday night. Air conditioned (shocker), seating and good times
This South Austin beer garden and fried chicken joint is kid-friendly, parent-friendly, and people-who-love-giant-piles-of-fried-chicken friendly. [Eater 38 Member]
This is the only place in Austin that I remember being air conditioned. That being said, head outside to the patio.
Get up close and personal to your favourite bands in this patio space. Best bartenders in Austin in my opinion.
MOVED: 3rd and San Jacinto. Line-ups for RSVPers are brutal but if you have a pass or wristband, you're golden for night shows.
Dare i say the bigger and better Cedar Street Courtyard for SXSW? Big outdoor space with good sound. Bar staff need to ramp it up though to complete w
formerly, the legendary EMOS, Try to get past the 2" of urine in the porta-potty and you'll love this place.Still one of the greatest venues to see a band outside while feeling like you're inside.
The ethos of this chain is somewhat atypical: small menu, locally-sourced when possible, no freezers, open kitchens, fresh cut french fries, pay above industry average, and no franchising whatsoever.
