Samantha & Patrick
Things to do!
Lazarus Brewing Co.
Our first stop as we pulled in to Austin after the three day drive from Virginia. Excellent tacos, good beer, great people.
Meanwhile Brewing
Plenty of outdoor space, playground for kids, multiple food trucks, good beer!
The Front Page
Our local watering hole and go-to for sandwiches and salads!
Cosmic Saltillo
Great outdoor vibes for coffee and cocktails - two locations. The other location, Cosmic Coffe Pickle, has food trucks while the Saltillo location has a taco shop.
Flitch Coffee
Our go-to Saturday morning coffee - with breakfast tacos from Pueblo Viejo! Fun Fact: It's right next to the woodshop Patrick frequents.
Pueblo Viejo Tillery
Multiple locations! At Flitch Coffee, at Cosmic Coffee Pickle and at Meanwhile Brewing.
De Nada Cantina
Our first date spot after Sam made her move to Austin! Classic Austin tacos and margaritas - you will likely need a reservation. Our go-to spot to bring any out of town guests. You are warned - there's a limit on those margaritas for a reason :)
S H Donuts
We love their kolaches.
KG BBQ
Award winning, incredible Egyptian inspired BBQ. The food truck sits outside of Oddwood Brewing.
Tillery Street Plant Co.
Grab a coffee from Flitch and head down the street to walk around this lovely retail nursery.
Waterloo Records & Video
We love strolling around here on a weekend trying to decide what record to add to our collection.
Mueller Lake Park
Mueller has it all - a lake to walk around, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, a children's museum, and a Sunday farmer's market that is always packed. B.D. Riley's is here too, which is where you'll find Patrick during most Liverpool matches.
Fierce Whiskers Distillery
Good cocktails and nice outdoor area with a taco truck, naturally.
South Congress
Whether you're looking for some new boots, some local Austin art, a quick bite, some cocktails, or some window shopping - SoCo is the place to be. We love to browse stores like Paper Work and find some new local art for the house. You can also find the famous "I love you so much" mural here, on the side of Jo's Coffee.
Lady Bird Lake Trail at Auditorium Shores
One parking option for exploring Lady Bird Lake - Samantha frequents this trail for her runs! There are many parking areas all around, as it's a 10 mile loop, but a great spot to get some fresh air and check out the ever-growing Austin skyline.
