re: Austin Tx Bachelor Party Recs?

Been to Austin many times, but all during the summer months. Unsure how Lake Travis will be in October, but would say a boat is worth the time and money. Skipper will take you to a cove with a bunch of other boats/pontoons and link you up with a bachelorette party. Makes for a very fun time. Alternate activity could be a river float (too cold?). Did one last summer that was a lot of fun. Going down the San Marcos River is always popular and there are busloads of people also doing the same thing. Again, good way to chill and meet people.

Plenty of areas to bar hop around Austin... Guess it sort of depends what your buddies are looking for. Rainey isn't what it was, but solid enough bachelor party destination. Easy to pop around and find people if you lose them. Personally, I prefer a Sunday Funday on Rainey over anything Friday and Saturday, but to each his own. East Austin is more my speed - fun bars, breweries and patios, but short of ratchet. With a big group, Lazarus could be an easy play - a lot of space, solid beer and good tacos.
