Speedway Market

Civil Goat
Civil Goat- You've probably had plenty of cups of coffee on patios with friendly local dogs watching their owners down a latte, but when have you ever had to keep a goat from stealing your pastry? Near Commons Ford Ranch and easily the best way to get rural vibes without really leaving the city, Civil Goat is the Green Acres of coffee shops. Blending that coffee shop aesthetic with the rustic vibe of being on a farm, with a full-on goat ( his name is Butters) chilling on the patio. On occasion, he might try to pitch a new app idea to you, but it's usually goat sh*t.
Emerald Tavern Games and Cafe
Medieval themed board game cafe. Check the events calendar for drop-in D&D or trivia!
Barton Springs & Zilker Park
Barton Spring is a local watering hole. CAUTION: tops are optional in all Austin public pools. Parent your children accordingly :) Check website for times and prices. https://www.austintexas.gov/page/pool-fees-rentals Great hiking at Zilker Park Green Belt! From free yoga to weekly drum circles- there is something "weird" happening almost every night of the week!

Lala's Little Nugget
Lala's Little Nugget is a perennially Christmas-themed bar, complete with plastic elves, twinkling lights, and a slew of other holiday decorations. It’s a beautifully odd mainstay in North Austin; a cash-only bar with a legendary jukebox and one of the best Bloody Marys in town.
West 6th Street
Austin is the Live Music capital of the world! Check out live music and bars on 6th street.
Cathedral of Junk
This one's an Austin original. The Cathedral of Junk is exactly what it sounds like - a cathedral made of junk. That doesn't make it any less impressive, though. Scraps of all conceivable origin have been painstakingly assembled into what is probably the most astounding collection of bric-a-brac ever.
