Things To Do
2020 Market Scratch Kitchen & Bar
A casual American restaurant within walking distance of both hotel options, serving burgers, salads, sandwiches, and cocktails. Easy for families or groups looking for a close, sit-down meal.
Monument Cafe
This Georgetown classic was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and is known for its homestyle breakfasts, comfort food, and fresh-baked pies. Unfortunately they do not take reservations, so wait times can vary, but the food is worth it.
Historic Georgetown Square
Nicknamed the “Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas,” this charming downtown area is filled with boutiques, wine bars, cafés, and live music. It is the heart of Georgetown and the perfect place to shop, dine, and soak in small-town Texas charm.
Sweet Lemon Kitchen
A cozy café just off the Square, Sweet Lemon is a casual spot with mostly outdoor seating and a charming atmosphere. They often have live music on the weekends and serve delicious food any time of day. The turkey and brie sandwich and house salad are favorites, and the breakfast quiche lorraine is also a standout.
Round Rock Donuts
This bakery is famous for its bright yellow glazed donuts, especially the giant Texas-sized version that has been featured on food shows nationwide. We think it is a must-try for anyone visiting the area and a fun way to taste a little piece of local tradition.
Austin’s
This family fun park has go-karts, mini golf, bowling, arcade games, and even rides, making it a great spot for kids and adults alike. It is one of the best places in the area for families who want plenty of activities all in one stop.

An entertainment venue offering upscale bowling lanes, golf simulators, a full bar, and a sit-down menu. Great for groups looking for an activity plus food and drinks.

Recently recognized with a Michelin star, Interstellar has become one of Austin’s most celebrated barbecue spots. Their peach tea–glazed pork belly, mac and gouda, and smoked scalloped potatoes are favorites that make this place a true standout for Texas BBQ.
The Domain
Often called Austin’s “second downtown,” The Domain is a huge destination for dining, shopping, and nightlife. There are great restaurants like Culinary Dropout, Sixty Vines, Haywire, and Loro, along with bars and nightlife spots such as Wonderbar, Punch Bowl Social, and Dogwood. For fun activities, guests can check out the Museum of Illusions, try interactive challenges at Activate Games, or play indoor mini golf at Dirty Birdie.

New to the area in 2025, PopStroke is a Tiger Woods – designed mini golf and entertainment venue that has quickly become a popular spot. With fun courses, a full restaurant, and plenty of space to hang out, it looks like a great place for all ages to enjoy.
Mount Bonnell
One of Austin’s most famous viewpoints, Mount Bonnell offers sweeping views of the Hill Country, Lake Austin, and the city skyline. It is also a special place for us because it is where we got engaged. The short climb up the stone steps is worth it for one of the best photo spots in Austin.
