I was able to get ahold of some tix to the OM-A&M game last minute and thought this would be a cool trip.
Questions:
How far is the drive from there to CS? Less than two hours?
What are some good bars/restaurants to hit up?

Watch UT get thumped by anyone on their schedule.

For a chill bar I like The Elephant Room down on Congress. For a burger hit up Hopdoddy, but be ready for a line. In traffic (aka after the game) the trip can take three hours.

Didn't you guys beat Texas in Austin last year? Why didn't you go then.
This weekend it might be kind of tame. They will be getting their arse kicked in Dallas by OU.
At any rate most of the students there say a trip to Austin must include a stop off at Oilcan Harry's. I think you will have a good time there. Enjoy.

You can usually make the drive in less than two hours, but probably not on a game day.
It is NOT a freeway or even a limited access highway. There are even a few spots that the highway is not divided, but those spots are under construction. You go through lots of small towns. Watch your speed, or you will be funding local government.
Are you planning to stay in Austin? If so, stay at the Driskill and walk to the bars on and near 6th Street. There are several other nice hotels equally-near, but the Driskill is the coolest The bar and live music scene may be a bit dead, since the 'sips will be playing OK in Dallas.
I do not recomend staying in College Station and driving to bar hop in Austin, then driving back to BCS. We used to do that when I was at TAMU, but it was stupid.

Actually ACL fest is going on this weekend.
I would recommend you staying at the Lost Pines Hyatt on 71.
Austin is going to be pretty crowded and a mess. Just my opinion tho.

I think you underestimated how many Aggies live in Austin when making this troll thread. It's way too believable thus the legit answers

6th street and don't go to the game.

It's touristy but Pete's Piano Bar on 6th street will show you a good time. Plus you get to walk up and down 6th street and the crowd is alot of fun.

It all depends on what you're interested in.
Foodwise I'd recommend Torchy's Tacos, Rudy's BBQ, or Hopdoddy's for a good burger. If you're more of a sandwich person Thundercloud and 24 diner are pretty solid choices.
Downtown may be full of a bunch of weird people this weekend because of ACL. Almost every Texas student will be in Dallas, but going out on West 6th should still be a good time.
Try and play some golf if you get the chance too. The area has some pretty decent courses.

Huge gay community. You should enjoy that.

Don't get accosted by a bum.
Eat at Maudie's.
Seriously-fun town. Lots of good places on 6th Street. Try the Easy Tiger for a good beer garden.

I'm going to take this post at face value.
There's so damned much to do here that you can pretty much park anywhere close to the Capital and pick a direction to walk.
I recommend Freedmen's for BBQ in town (Brisket and spare ribs are awesome). If you actually want to see a little bit of what is left of real Austin, Texas Chili Parlor is awesome.
Hell, leave Austin early and hit Southside Market and Meyer's in Elgin on the way to CS.
East 6th has a ton of hipster bars that are actually pretty cool if you can take all of that with a grain of salt. You can find anything from Mezcal Bars to a good Texas Swing band over there, so don't let the skinny jeans and beards scare you off.
Maudies is pretty good as everyone has mentioned. Polvos is good too. Or, if you want to test your Spanish and weather a few nasty looks, there is a taco truck at call El Tocarrido at Runberg and Lamar that stays open until 3 a.m. that is awesome. You may end up getting stabbed, but the al pastor is worth it. Hopdoddy is actually good, but for me, there are too many places that make a good burger in this town that don't require I show up at 5 to avoid the line. Pinthouse Pizza is up that way as well and has good pie and a great beer selection.
And if you wanted to troll A&M, well, I'd give that another shot.
