Things To Do

The Infinite Monkey Theorem

The Infinite Monkey Theorem

702 Shady Lane, Austin, TX 78702
, (512) 956-7757

This is where we had our first date and fell in love! Re-live the experience and grab a bottle of wine and sit in our booth where we had our engagement photos done! It's an Urban Winery with a funky, chill tap room offering housemade reds, whites & roses & community events. UPDATE: They recently moved so not exactly our first date spot but you can still catch the vibes.

Sixth Street Historic District (Dirty Six)

Sixth Street Historic District (Dirty Six)

Austin, TX 78701

This is a must for first time visitors. You'll see all walks of life, probably a fight, maybe some boobs, and a whole lot of people watching, drinking and live music.

Rainey Street

Rainey Street

Rainey Street, Austin, TX 78701

Renovated houses turned into bungalow bars reign supreme on this 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. We spend a lot of our Sundays here (at least we used to) another must and great for people watching.

Uncle Billy's Brewery & Smokehouse

Uncle Billy's Brewery & Smokehouse

1530 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 78704

We used to head here a lot with the pups back at our old apartment. Get the roadkill nachos and get them with french fries because eff calories.

Franklin Barbecue

Franklin Barbecue

900 East 11th Street, Austin, TX 78702
, (512) 653-1187

ok, so this may be the best BBQ you'll ever have HOWEVER, you're going to have to wait in line and get there early, like 5 hours before they open early. If you have the time go for it. Pro tip: grab some breakfast tacos, a pack of cards, and a cooler full of beer to keep you occupied while you wait.

Terry Black's Barbecue

So you're in Texas and you're thinking I HAVE to get some BBQ but goodness I don't want to wait in line at Franklin's. This place is great for two reason, the BBQ is fantastic and there's usually not a line and not sold out.

Torchy's Tacos

Torchy's Tacos

Austin is also home to amazing Tacos and this has been a staple in our diet since we moved here. Try the democrat and the trailer park, get it extra trashy because we're Franks after all!
