We seriously dig this bar’s sticky-floor aesthetic and convivial vibes. The room is dark, the music is hot, the crowd is diverse, and friendly barkeeps keep the margaritas and the Two Steps flowing.
Red pepper gin drink, great ambiance. Cozy inside but also has a nice outdoor area. Kind of expensive but the cocktails are unique.
Easy Tiger has the winning Austin formula: in-house bread and pastries, craft beer, ping pong, and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere, in the most improbable of places: Dirty Sixth. [Eater 38 Member]

Lush lounge furniture and a small, but delicious cocktail menu makes this place a nice stop on Rainey Street. At least on the weekdays.
This NYC import ain't messin' around: It has a novella-length cocktail list and harvests its ice from 300-pound crystal blocks. That's the type ice sculptors use – perfect for craft cocktail art.
Go on Sun and Mon night for their $10 off bottle night. You must try Las Perdices Cab. Smooth and sexy wine
American classics repackaged with a flirty wink and just enough cleverness to make them seem exotic. Brunch is a bright spot, and the duck fat biscuits and gravy are a Sunday morning revelation. Leer más.
If you're brunching, this is the spot. The Steak & Migas Eggs Benedict are two mounds of egg-and-meat heaven covered in chipotle-spiked Hollandaise and the Bloody Mary is as good as it gets.
Here are the basics: Mexican martini. Stuffed Avocado. Enchiladas are good. Don't plan on splitting your checks.
This shiny, ultramodern brick-and-mortar matches the adventurous, farm-to-table cuisine. The superlative wine, beer, and cocktail list harmonizes with the whims of Bryce Gilmore's daily changing menu.

Hands down the BEST place for drunk munchies! Wander in at 5am and you might just share a table with MGMT or Amazing Baby. Order the Magnolia Mud, sounds disgusting-- but it's delicious.

This tucked-away East side bistro is well worth the trip for its romantic outdoor space, well-executed classic French cuisine, & reasonably-priced wine list. [Eater 38 Member]
I swear on my hat these are the yummiest breakfast tacos in Austin. They even help your noggin recover from the night before. (not that it was doing anything bad right? RIGHT??)
Cheap drinks + ESK curry buns and beet fries make this our go-to bar. Chances are you’ll run into someone you know on the back patio, and the communal benches mean you’ll be making new friends, too.
Chef Rene Ortiz's take on modern Mexican cuisine. Not to miss: the riffs on guacamole, the wild tacos, the cocktails, and pastry chef Laura Sawicki's ice creams. [Eater 38 Member]
This champagne & fried chicken joint's Summer menu matches highbrow tastes with gluttonous, comfort-style prep. Recommended: The Roasted Lockhart Quail with Peach Butter and house Bacon Marmalade. Leer más.
Banger's may be all about sausage, but it's a break from the rest of the Rainey Street yuppie meat market scene. Go for brunch and enjoy live music plus their towering Manmosas. [Eater 38 Member]
There's an obvious reason why Clive Bar rhymes with "dive bar," so you can ask the bartender for menus of a couple restaurants across the street.
Homemade flour tortillas with the best bean and egg tacos! Catch everyone from Coach Darryl Royal to Congressman Lloyd Doggett at this Austin institution.
Some of the best tacos in Austin are served by two trucks with national acclaim. Their aguas frescas are not to be missed, and they serve up the best migas taco in Austin. [Eater 38 Member]
Migas taco is AMAZING. The salsa in the big bowl also rocks - it has avocado in it. Can't get enough.
This spot is tucked on a patio between what used to be Graze and some railroad tracks and offers the same famous $1.25 breakfast tacos. Leer más.

Breakfast tacos and Mexican pastries are equally good choices at this 24 hour diner.
Hands down coolest music venue in Austin. Head outside to the main stage or up the stairs to the rooftop deck that looks over the stage. If you want a more intimate experience head to the back stage.
Texas always does barbecue right, especially at this joint. Enjoy live music while you indulge in succulent BBQ with a dry rub and smoky taste.
Prepare to wait through the morning rush, but the afternoons get you caffeinated lickety-split.
