I was able to score parking passes for Friday and Saturday in the East Campus Garage adjacent to the stadium on seetgeek. It was $21 each day after fees

How were you able to do that, I am on SeetGeek right now and there is not an option to buy. Wonder if that just means the lot is sold out?

Might explain why LSU has 100 more runs scored than texas

Restaurant recommendations near campus for a quick bite? We will have a 2.5 year old in tow.

Crown and Anchor is a bit of a dive but great old school burgers. NADC burger is a more high end burger spot that’s great

Any Jewboy location. They have a slider food truck, a sandwich based store front, and another location that does other stuff like tacos and things I believe. 1 owner shop that was just 1 food truck a few years ago and has blown up but hasn’t gone full torchys corportate so far.

For the 2 year old, Cabo Bobs is a chain similar to Chipotle, but quality of product is way better. Some of the best nachos you’ll find at a fast casual spot

Via 313 or Bat city pie will win over any crowd looking for Detroit style pizza.


Also Waterloo ice houses are all around town, very generic local chain that serves every type of food you can think of and usually have a large outdoor playground.

Kerby lane cafe is also very basic diner food but is a local staple out here that is great for kids


Also for the rest of the audience here, some of the recs are not ones I would usually give to someone visiting unless you have a toddlers palate that you are needing to work around

Best basic burger/fries in town and reasonably close to the ballpark. Although, keep in mind, most of the campus with the exception of the ballpark is on the other side of I-35. Still, it's not far.

Great selection of beers on tap.

Coming with three adults. Def planning on hitting Terry Black's on Friday for lunch or dinner. What other recs you got for solid eats and good places to get beers/cocktails?

Gonna wear your wade panties?

Most of the elite stuff is on the east side / East Caesar Chavez for more adult style dinners, Ramen Tatsuya, Uuchi, and Justine’s are a few off the top of my head. More in the center of things Upstairs at Caroline’s is an awesome happy hour spot. Great drinks and good small bites on a cool rooftop downtown.

In terms of drinks - Haymakers and a few other bars are relatively close to the stadium. Not the most lively part of town but food is solid and always have good beer specials, which are a rarity in this town.

- 6th street is going to have the most action but is the worst strip in Austin to drink unless you’re in college still- although Rainey street is fighting for the crown these days. They recently changed it where traffic flows through 6th street at all times so they have soft barricades. I haven’t been since they made that change but I’ve heard it’s been a lot slower than it used to be.

- as mentioned, don’t get too excited for Rainey. It’s been living off its reputation for a decade now and the shine is wearing off. Easier to find the fountain of youth than a drink specials on Rainey, the bars still get insanely packed with 20 year olds, and most of the charm is gone as they are currently converting all the house style bars into condos with a hotel style bar underneath instead

- East 6th is a lot of fun and more of the classic Austin uniqueness, lot of bars that appear very small and then will have a massive patio in the back, usually live music not too hard to find around there, and a food truck around every corner. Most bars on this strip are either very divey, or look like they got built yesterday. Dainty Dillo is a new bar right on the river that is owned by the same guy who owns Rustic Tap and The Armadillo Den, he’s become a bit of adopted LSU fan and usually does LSU events at Rustic Tap, although you will not leave with your wallet intact at the Tap these days

There’s almost nothing bar wise worth hitting up near campus.


If yall really want to venture out a bit more, in what is called Super South Austin there is a burgeoning bar district down Mencheca. It’s 20 min south of the river but about 7-10 bars there now that all are these big sprawling venues with a lot of games/TVs/ drink specials. Parking used to be a nightmare but they’ve mitigated that for the most part where most have a big lot behind them.
