Things To Do

Austin Proper Hotel

This hotel is beautiful. Even if you aren't staying here, we recommend brunch or dinner at the Peacock restaurant!

Allens Boots

Start your shopping at an awesome western store and just keep walking from there!

Home Slice Pizza

The best pizza there is.

Black's Barbecue Austin

Black's is an Austin staple

Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden

Super fun coffee house + beer garden with food trucks!

The Domain

Insanely huge mall. Tons of food, every store you can think of. And there's a Top Golf nearby if you want to practice your swing.

The Oasis On Lake Travis

AMAZING lake views with drinks and/or food. Totally worth stopping here (it's near the venue and our house!)

Steiner Ranch Steakhouse

Your standard, Texas steakhouse. It is one of Diana's favorite places to eat! The wait for the patio is worth it, but you can request it for reservations 5:30 or sooner. Otherwise it's a gamble!

Hudson's Fine Hill Country Dining

OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT. Interesting game, and unique combinations. It's just special.

Jester King -- Brewery, Kitchen, Farm & Event Hall

Local brewery with great beer and lots of outdoor seating under Texas Live Oaks.

5 Soul Wine Co

This is a beer place + wine place (they're side by side to cater to everyone) with a huge lawn for hanging out. They have a food truck too :)

Family Business Beer Company

Awesome pizza + beer garden. We'll also be having our post-wedding event here on Sunday!

Fredericksburg

Cute German town that Diana loves. It's SURROUNDED by wineries, distilleries, and is in the heart of Texas wine country.

Johnson City

Full of cute antique stores (and an awesome coffee shop) Johnson city is a great place to spend a couple hours. It's 20 mins from Fredericksburg, so suggest stopping over on your way into Texas Wine country!

Johnson City Coffee Co.

yay coffee!

Summer Moon Coffee

GET THE MOON MILK LATTE

Hamilton Pool

A local tourist destination, this natural pool is beautiful. You need to check conditions and see if it is open, though.

The best donuts, and local favorite kolaches (bread filled with all sorts of savory delicious things). I suggest this for a dough-filled breakfast feast.

J5 Steakhouse

Solid steakhouse (more in the country) with great cocktails.

Pizzeria Sorellina

Fresh, delicious pizza.

Amy's Ice Creams

There are a few Amy's around so google their locations- there's one downtown as well on South Congress street if you are in the city itself.

It’s All Good BBQ

This is our favorite, Local BBQ place near our house. No frills, hole-in-the-wall off of the highway.

Vaudeville

If you go to Fredericksburg, try this French place for lunch.

Anthem

Great cocktails! (and fun fusion food)

Via 313 Pizza

There's a few of these around the city/area. It's a local Austin pizza place, but DETROIT STYLE. A bit like Buddy's/Jet's hybrid. Delicious.

Zilker Botanical Garden

Can't say we've been yet, but it looks beautiful.

Lucy's Fried Chicken

Famous fried chicken place

One of our favorite places to go to dinner regularly. Great food and drinks. I love the burger and their pastas!

HONEY HAM AMAZINGNESS. Get their ham sandwich and macaroni (and a cookie) and you'll be set for life.

The Gramercy

Cool 1920s themed cocktail place near our house. Diana loves their mules, and they have solid food as well (recommend the chicken & bacon sandwich w/ fries..)

Hops & Thyme

The closest restaurant to our house on a map. Went there recently, and they had good drinks, solid food (pub stuff), and a nice side patio with live music. If you're near the venue this is a super close place to get a beer/cocktail.

Gigi's Cupcakes Bee Cave

If you have a cake craving, look no further.

Bruster's Real Ice Cream

I haven't been here yet, but I'm dying to go. Hear that it's amazing, so please try it for me.

the Lakeway city park is large, pretty, and great for a walk and a peek at the Lakefront.

Via 313 Pizza

There's a few of these in Austin itself, (this one is closest to our house) - so google all the locations, because if you want super tasty Detroit pizza, you can find it in Austin...
