Things To Do
Oasis Texas Brewing Company
Awesome spot for cocktails & food overlooking Lake Travis. Try the Brussel Sprouts, Queso, Pico Verde, and an order of fries. Be sure to go to the Oasis Brewing Company or Taproom to the right, the main restaurant called “The Oasis” is no bueno.
Rainey Street
Renovated houses turned into bungalow bars reign supreme on Rainey, the increasingly popular tucked-away street. Day or night, you’ll find relaxed bar-goers strolling from bar to food trailer to bar again, often with their dogs in tow looking for a kicked back sip and a bite.
Hops & Thyme
Yummy lunch options and lots of beers on tap!
Terry Black's Barbecue
Get the beef rib...oh and don’t eat ahead of coming here. Parking is limited, so either go early in the afternoon, or Uber/Lyft if you are going in the evening.
South Congress Avenue
Want to check out some shops and grab a drink downtown after the wedding? Nothing says Austin, like checking out South Congress on a Sunday afternoon!
Lady Bird Lake
Rent a paddleboard or a small boat to take a tour of Town Lake.
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
If you feel like taking a dip, this natural spring swimming pool is a great place to visit.
Hamilton Pool Preserve
Hamilton Pool offers one of the most unusual swimming experiences you’ll find in Texas. It looks as though it was plucked from a tropical island and plopped into the middle of Austin’s limestone hills. The roughly circular swimming hole is partially shaded by a rock outcropping. The overhang is all that is left of what was once the ceiling of a cave. The grotto partially collapsed and revealed a natural swimming pool. Delicate ferns cling to the rocks above the pool, and water often trickles down through the ferns, creating trickling or gushing waterfalls depending on how much rain has fallen recently. About 150 feet in diameter and 25 feet deep, the pool is large yet ecologically sensitive. As a result, the park now requires that visitors register online before visiting the park. The $11 registration can be paid with a credit card, but the car entrance fee of $15 must be paid in cash. (The pool is located at 24300 Hamilton Pool Road, Dripping Springs, Texas 78620)
H-E-B
Looking to pick up a few groceries or bug spray or whatever else? Check out the massive grocery store in Lakeway near our venue.
The Salt Lick BBQ
The Salt Lick is about 40 mins from Downtown Austin, and about the same from the venue area. Very good BBQ in a rural area. This is in a DRY COUNTY, so they do not sell alcohol, although you can bring your own beer!
Pace Bend Park
Pace Bend Park is popular for camping on the cliffs overlooking Lake Travis, swimming on a beach, boating, and exploring the Hill Country beauty with miles of hike, bike, and equestrian trails.
The Driskill
Austin's original and iconic hotel features beautiful Romanesque architecture from the late 1800's. With a grand entrance into the opulent lobby, you will be transported to an historic era, with its marble floors, stained-glass dome, and corridors filled with museum-quality artwork. Head up the grand staircase to the most authentic Texas bar in downtown Austin, with daily live music and happy hour.
Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg is a town of 10,000 inhabitants located just about 75 miles from either San Antonio or Austin. It's noted for a picturesque main street, wineries, distilleries, breweries with old-time German style storefronts and sidewalk canopies, in the tradition of small-town Texas.
