Best burger in Texas is at Hopdoddy's. Expect a very very long line. Salt lick and Franklins are top BBQ joints in America too.

Go hiking on the 360 bridge - great view up there and easy to get to. Go to town lake and chill on the new boardwalk. Drive in Westlake and Redbud drive for good scenic views. Hula hut has a good lake view for a restaurant - Thai fajitas are good there with the plum sauce. Good bars on 6th street if you are under 30 are Maggie Maes, Blind Pig, and The Ranch.

 

I second Terry Blacks. That place is awesome.

 

enjoy awful allergies

 

here's an easy list for food

Of course, I'd be the first one to mention which gentlemen's club to go to...

Yellow Rose seemed pretty good.

 

there are two of these in Dallas

 

Beck's Prime burgers are much better than Hopdoddy's imo. Hopdoddy's is good, but Beck's Prime is another level above. Anyhow...it's unimportant since there isn't one in Austin.

 

I was at the Rose and Palazio this past weekend for a bachelor party weekend. The Yellow Rose was excellent.

 

For bars check out the east 6th street bars like Violet Crown Social Club, Hotel Vegas, or White Horse. It's hipster over there.

West 6th is more douche bag type atmosphere, but a good time.

Dirty 6th is more college age/under 25 crowd.

The W Hotel bar is also a good spot to check out for something more upscale/LA style scene.

 

austin is getting all the chains now, they are opening up shake shack
there's already 2 in and out burgers

 

i've never been to palazio, i heard someone got shot in the parking lot there

 

Spend quality time with DaDakota.

 

Don't expect good food at the Oasis - only go for the view.

Micklethwait Craft Meats for BBQ - get the brisket, sausage, and jalapeno cheese grits.
