6th Street is always a good time.
No, it's not. 6th is pure gutter-trash these days. It's not what it was even 6-7 years ago. Nothing but the lowest socioeconomic rung fighting each other in Affliction shirts. It's not even an "Austiny" scene anymore.
Hit up Rainey Street or the Warehouse District or walk east of 35 into hipsterland and catch a live show at one of the clubs over there.
ACL attracts good acts but unlike the other big festivals they let people bring lawn chairs and the masses of old townies camping in gigantic lawn chair clumps makes it impossible to walk around between shows. Ruins it.
I live in central Austin, so if you need cynical real world advice I am your guy.
If you want a place to just get hammered and watch games and don't care about being cool, you cant go wrong by sticking to old school townie spots like the Tavern on Lamar, Crown & Anchor, or Abels (I prefer on the lake).
If you want to get your dick sucked by a whore, this town is JAM packed with strip clubs.
If you like craft beer, drive out to Jester King Brewery. It's bad arse.

Brisket hash at 24Diner is great!
Homeslice pizza was good.
The Blind Pig on 6th was the spot for the Ole Miss game last year. Thought we would cave the roof in when Feed Moncreif came on.
Polvos is good in SOCO. Hell, lots of good food in SOCO.
Make a stop at Waterloo Records. Around the corner from there is the 9th street trail.(BMX dirt jumping and shite) Really cool watching those guys.
And, what I thought was a good burger, Huts. It's up on West 6th. West 6th is much cleaner than the east end.
Loved Austin. And I would venture a guess and say the ratio of yoga pants is higher than anywhere else I have been. It is truly a beautiful thing.

Very true.
Abel's is very legit.

Crown & Anchor
Is the Posse East still around?
Someone mentioned Pinthouse Pizza. A buddy of mine is headmaster at a private school in Austin, and I went there with him and his wife a year or two ago.
Good pizza and EXCELLENT beer.
