I'll be there for the weekend and was hoping some of you would have some suggestions.

Bars, restaurants, activities, sights to see...

I'd be willing to bet there is some sort of pride parade going on.

For real though, I did hear the golf courses up there are nice.

Barton Springs is on the list.

We were planning on heading to Salt Lick BBQ and a place called Oasis? Any word on those?

Go to this place called Frank's. They have amazing food and make sure you order the nacho waffle fries appetizer.

Go to sculpture falls on the green belt instead of Barton springs. Barton springs is a tourist trap full of cholos and their children. Sculpture falls is a locals spot and way more chill plus better water/more places to swim

Really depends on what you are looking to do. The Oasis is decent (not outstanding food) but the views are great. If you try to get there after 6pm be ready for a 2 hour wait. I prefer Rainey St to 6th street. There are some decent vineyards near the Salt Lick. I also enjoyed going to Jacob's Well but you might feel it is similar to Barton Springs.

100% guarantee that you will see 5 girls sunbathing topless. Most of which are not ugly.

Fine top less bitches sounds great, however.

This might win out.

Any alternative suggestions to Oasis?

Interests are eating, drinking, swimming and other outdoor activities that are worth checking out. Driving outside of Austin for something good is not a problem.
