Cheapest gas in the city and some of the nicest people too. Inside, this place is like a magic tent. Any beer you could possibly want they probably have it. Best gas station ever.
Good luck getting a seat on the weekends. Try outside. The smell of wild rosemary & honeysuckle is amazing!
BEST BBQ this side of the Mississippi! Chow down on some ribs while over looking the beautiful hill country in Driftwood. But it’ll cost you: this little piece of heaven is 20 miles outside Austin.
Totally awesome deck overlooking Lake Austin. Great place to study/work or just chill with friends. When its really busy, the wifi slows down - use "moznet2010" or "abels on the lake."
Brace yourself: The water in Austin's iconic swimming hole is a constant 68 degrees, and that's eye-poppingly cold, especially when you're jumping in on a 100-degree day.

East Sixth Street has plenty of bars, but if it's live music you're after - and you should be; this is the Live Music Capital - go around the corner to Red River Street.
Home of the wild peacocks! Well, they might not be wild and they certainly aren't native, but here at Mayfield Park several different trails crisscross this small reserve with picture perfect views.
