Things To Do
El Monumento
If you're wanting some Tex-Mex while in Texas, we highly recommend this spot! Home to our favorite spicy margarita, a fantastic patio overlooking the San Gabriel River, and the best fajitas in Georgetown, it will not disappoint!
Tejano Cookers BBQ & Catering Co.
If you are needing to get some BBQ while in Texas and don't want to wait in hour upon hour lines in Austin, look no further than Tejano's! This food truck puts out some incredible barbecue with a Tex-Mex spin. We highly recommend the breakfast tacos (not available on Sunday, so plan accordingly), their sandwiches, and definitely get a side of charro beans.
Monument Cafe
Monument Cafe is a great spot for breakfast and lunch and is one of our favorite places to stop on a weekend. Kyle's favorite is their corned beef hash, and Katie's go-to is the Kale Power juice and the breakfast quinoa bowl - but whatever you do, don't sleep on their biscuits and homemade jam!
309 Coffee
Katie's favorite coffee shop in Georgetown! Best lattes in town and they have some great allergy-friendly baked goods.
San Gabriel Park
A wonderful park with trails, playgrounds, and fields for sports. Great for kids and those of all ages!
US Army Corps of Engineers - Lake Georgetown
Lake Georgetown is a great place to swim, hike, and enjoy nature! Only a ten minute drive from the recommended hotel, it is a great place to be outside. There are several different entrances. If you're looking to swim, we recommend going to the Russell Park entrance. If you're looking to hike, we recommend the Cedar Breaks entrance. Or if you're looking to camp, we recommend the site at Jim Hogg. All entrance fees are $5 with no additional parking fee.
Blue Hole Park
Another great place to swim or go for a walk, this location has no parking fees or entrance fees. Really pretty, and some waterfalls when the water is high. Conveniently located near downtown Georgetown (right near El Monumento if you're looking for a post-swim/post-walk happy hour).
2020 Market Scratch Kitchen & Bar
Super close to the Sheraton Georgetown (where the hotel block is) this is a great option for any meal from brunch to late night drinks and everything in between. Katie is a big fan of their salmon salad and Kyle likes their burgers.
Union Merchant / Hase Hase
This recommendation is a two-fer. Union Merchant is a super cute wine bar and attached to one of our favorite stores, Hase Hase. Enjoy a glass of wine, cocktail, or snack on their great patio, or in their indoor space, which is also part of the Hase Hase store.
Rentsch Brewery
A great brewery in Austin to have a drink!
Inner Space Cavern
Great family friendly activity where you can actually go an explore an inner cavern system. Super accessible just off of I-35.
