Notably you will be consuming a LOT of Tex Mex BBQ (Valentina's!) on Saturday night but if you need to increase your red meat intake we love Micklethwait! This is a great picnic-style spot where you can get BBQ from a trailer. Heads up the line can be long (but there's beer while you wait!) Our next recommendation for BBQ is Terry Black's
Austin Rowing Club is located right next door to The Line and is a great spot to rent kayaks and stand up paddle boards by the hour. You can explore up and down the Colorado River and Lady Bird Lake! We want to point out that it is NOT safe for dogs to swim in the lake as there is often poisonous algae so PLEASE be careful with your pups!
We know we've been hyping the hotel a lot but that's because it has so much to offer! The bar upstairs at the hotel is actually the 6th floor of the parking garage and has fun drinks and snacks with a beautiful outdoor wrap around area to enjoy a sip before events!
If you have an extra evening to spare, right across the Congress Avenue Bridge is Lone Star River Boat. They'll take you on a 1-hour cruise around Lady Bird Lake to see the bats come out under the bridge at sunset. You can also just sit around under the bridge by the bike path and see them come out at night for free!
