Things To Do
Péché
"The best happy hour in Austin and where we go to celebrate special moments like meeting Ben's parents for the first time. Get the escargot, trust me!" - Sami
Ranch 616
"Quintessential Texas vibes and a great place for large(r) groups. We celebrated my birthday here back in 2024. Don't forget to order the Fire-in-the-Hole shots. They will light you up." - Ben
La Piscina
"Hands down the best fajitas in the city! We both celebrated our birthdays here this past year (2025). Pro tip: make a reservation here several weeks in advance." - Sami
Comedor
One of our favorite places to grab a seat at the bar during Happy Hour and enjoy one of the best margaritas and light bites in the city.
Matt's El Rancho
"An Austin staple on South Lamar about 10 minutes from Downtown. No reservations needed, and you can always get in with a large group. Grab a margarita at the bar while you wait for your table. You HAVE to order the Bob Armstrong Dip with a side of warm flour tortillas. I don't make the rules." - Sami
Small Victory
A small speakeasy bar located inside a parking garage. Look for the red door and go upstairs to a small, dark, lounge bar serving up some of the best cocktails in the city. Reservations are recommended.
DuMont's Down Low
Located underneath Peche, this place is great for grabbing a drink after dinner. No reservations required.
The Rustic Tap
Outdoor sports bar known for their laid back vibes, vast seating and live music day or night.
Via 313 Pizza
Located behind Star Bar on West 6th Street, you'll find some of the best pizza being served from a food truck.
Lavaca Street Bar
A great place to grab a beer and watch the game in a casual, laid-back sports bar in Downtown, Austin!
Upstairs at Caroline
Rooftop vibes in the heart of downtown and located conveniently in the Aloft Austin Downtown. Great for gathering large parties and enjoying a bevy!
