Austin Things To Do
Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que
Get your Texas bbq fix from Cooper’s, which is about a 10 min walk from the hotel. Other bbq recs include: Terry Black’s, Black’s, Franklin, KG, and La Barbecue.
The White Horse
A little honky-tonk located in East Austin where you can drink a Lonestar beer, listen to live country music, and practice your Texas two-step.
The Driskill Hotel
Order a cocktail at the historic Driskill Hotel. It’s definitely a little bit haunted, but that just adds to the charm. On the way you’ll pass the Texas State Capitol building, which is pretty much impossible to miss.
Allens Boots
Pop into the infamous Allen’s Boots to try on cowboy boots or other western flair. Tecovas is also just down the street, along with many other retail stores and shops.
Ladybird Lake
Take a walk around Ladybird (Town) Lake. Begin or end at the Pfugler Pedestrian Bridge, or cross the Congress Bridge.
Friends Bar
Pop into the bars on “Dirty Sixth” for some live music. The Friend’s Bar is located just steps from the hotel.
Matt's El Rancho
An iconic Tex Mex restaurant with stiff margaritas. Great for large parties without reservations.
Kitty Cohen's
An indoor/outdoor bar, aptly named Kitty Cohen’s, that goes all in on Hanukkah decorations during the holiday season. Our wedding falls on the last night of Hanukkah.
LBJ Presidential Library
We haven’t been, but I heard we’re missing out! You can get there by walking through the University of Texas campus.
Chili's Grill & Bar
Located on 45th and Lamar. If you know, you know.
