Foodie Spots

Try their Queso( pronounced Kay-soh). It’s a heavenly melted cheese that you eat with chips. Queso means cheese in Spanish. You will find it everywhere but Torchy’s has the best. For breakfast Migas tacos are pretty amazing and for any other time the chicken fajitas or fried avocado is always a hit.

Get one of everything! Just kidding. We love the pesto donut sandwich and any of the sweet donuts. My kids love the chicken nuggets and the unicorn grilled cheese.

Biergarten. Family and pet friendly. The one in East Austin is more hipster and 20 year olds and the one on south Lamar is more low key ( you will see families there, we have taken our kids to that one).

This place is super cute and very Instagrammable. Their drinks are delicious and you’ll want to take ALL the pics of you go. The music is a bit loud so it may not be the best for family time.

One of the most popular barbecue places in town. Go early if you want good barbecue anywhere because they sell out early.

This is a natural springs pool so it is VERY cold but wonderful on a hot Texas day. Parking is a bit hard so have some patience or take a short uber ride over there.

This is great for live music and bar hopping. I had a great time in my younger years there. The sixth street closest to IH 35 is referred to as “dirty sixth,” by the locals because its full of recently turned 21 year olds living their best life. If you cross over to the other side of Congress near the W hotel then you’ll find a more mature crowd with pricier drinks. Both are great depending on what you want to experience.

Things to do

You can scooter here. People love checking out the thousands of bats under the bridge on South Congress. Go when it’s almost sunset so that you can see them come out.

I love seeing the quote along films here. Don’t watch anything new, but definitely check out the sing-a-long events. They are really quirky! The one downtown is probably the most creative.
