Rock Club · Downtown Austin · 131 tips and reviews
exfm: Hands down coolest music venue in Austin. Head outside to the main stage or up the stairs to the rooftop deck that looks over the stage. If you want a more intimate experience head to the back stage.
BBQ Joint · Downtown Austin · 339 tips and reviews
STA Travel U.S.: Not only is the barbeque delicious, but they have awesome indoor and outdoor stages! If you are a lover of indie or alternative rock, you will absolutely love it.
Austin American-Statesman: Driving across the Congress Avenue Bridge, you'd never know the world's largest urban bat colony (1.5 million at summer peak) lives under it ... unless you show up at sundown to see them.
Brooklyn United: Step inside to grab a drink but head right back outside to mingle with others, enjoy the lounge chairs, or hit up the picnic and Ping-Pong tables. Oh, and there's typically a taco truck. No brainer.

Dens: Yeah, I know it's packed but you gotta get the steak with the butter sauce (shit, what kind of sauce was it?) and the side of mac and cheese. Bananatown delicious.
