Austin's most famous (& supposedly the best) BBQ joint. Get in line at 6-7am (no joke) if you really want to try it. I recommend a mister, a hat, a camper chair, and a deck of cards to pass the time in line.

Drinks & Nightlife

Best old fashioneds in town (& other delicious cocktails). Check out the mezcal tasting room upstairs and flamenco guitarist on a Friday/Saturday night. They also have a super yummy Thai food truck on property.

Looks like a dive bar, drinks like a 5-star. Billy, the owner, makes a mean cocktail and won't overcharge you for it. You must try their pizza (I recommend the Dana special) - it's my favorite pizza in town!

Austin is the "Live Music Capital" of the world, so I have to recommend this iconic jazz club. It's divey as hell, but the music is fantastic 7 nights a week in the heart of downtown.

Sightseeing

Made of solid Texas pink granite and taller than it's D.C. look-a-like. Take a tour - it's actually pretty interesting - or walk around inside for the history & A/C.
