What to do in Austin

Rainey St.

I was planning to stay a week or two and left after 3 days because of the weather and Texas. Plenty of bars and food if that is your thing though

8th st

Wait, the flood disaster has "most of us" here talking and you want to know what to do in Austin?

During the day you can rent kayaks on Colorado River, maybe bring some ice chests. Good times. There is a brewery there called Barton Springs that sometimes has bands playing in the afternoon and has good bbq.

Another way to kill time during the day is to drive out to Oasis on Lake Travis. Food isn't that great but view is cool.

If said friend is a woman and you want try hard, get a reservation for a speak easy place called Midnight Cowboy. It's named after a brothel that used to be on site.

6th street and Rainey street are the other main options at night for bar scene.

Elephant Lounge usually has a kick arse group playing. Went there mid-week a couple months ago and they had a 10 piece jazz group playing that was fantastic. It's a club downstairs in a building basement.

With school starting up 6th street should be fun. Just watch out for the trannies, many a young and naive freshman longhorn "rides the bull" and is too drunk to know it til morning

You suggesting they 'ride a bull?'

Bypass it.
