Trip to Austin, Texas….

[shintoooo]

Here for a few nights with @BUDMAN and his better half and a couple other friends. Never been to Austin or even Texas. Let’s see what kind of trouble we can get into here.

Easy three hour flight from LAX.

 

[DILLIGAF]

ohhhhh....you can get in trouble alright. Be careful

 

[81Sprint]

Franklins BBQ, if you can get in

 

[Cole Trickle]

My dad just spent 3 weeks around the local lake and city. had a blast

Goldies is the new hot spot

 

[shintoooo]

Staying at the Fairmont. Really nice hotel. Great service so far. Got a nice room on the 31st floor with a great view.

 

[shintoooo]

It’s our friends birthday today. We are doing Top Golf tonight and then hitting some bars afterwards.

Have a food tour planned for tomorrow. Excited to eat some great Texas BBQ.

 

[Cdog]

Terry blacks. Get the beef rib, green beans and peach cobbler.

Barton Springs Chewys Tex Mex goes off on Thursdays. It's like college night or something. Always lots of good people watching

 

[Tooms22]

Never been to Texas?!?!

Well you still haven't. Austin isn't Texas

Looking for some insane food - Dai Due. All Texas ingredients, lots of wild game.

East 6th is the safer bar area vs. West 6th.

Rainey Street is way different with the high rises around it now but still a crazy bar hopping spot.

Buy some boots.

Eat too much BBQ.

Drink a Lonestar or Shiner.

Isn't Austin the Capital of Texas.

Make sure to get photo proof of the legendary hairy arm pitted girls.

Only on the map, not culturally

This should be a good time.

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

I'll be interested to see what you think. We just got back. Going to spend a lot more time there in the next year and probably move to DFW by sometime next year.

 

[BUDMAN]

Now I want ribs. I thinks that’s on the list of places to eat.

[DB / HAV]

Esther’s follies is fun, but the music and bar scene is funner!

 

[Cdog]

Mandatory grub when we race at Cota.

Now they have one in downtown Dallas too.

 

[Devilman]

About 30 seconds in, lol

 

[DWC]

Our youngest just moved there in the last 30 days. He’s having a blast. Maybe a little too much so.

I've been to the one in Dallas. It's in Deep Ellum which is not the greatest of areas, but Beef rib, mac and cheese and peach cobbler!

X2 on Terry Blacks, damn good... That Beef ribs is amazing, just be ready as its probably $60.00-$70.00 ea.

Been going to Terry's for years.... Going to try La BBQ next.

 

[Quiet Cannon]

Traveled to Austin for my wife's business this last summer. I cruised around while while she was at work seminars. Beautiful place, but the amount of young hippsters and electric scooters sprawled all about totally ruined it for me. Crazy expensive. College town. Like it was said above, Austin is not Texas, more of a mini-California. Not a cowboy hat or sidearm in sight.

 

[2Driver]

Check out lake Travis and lake LBJ.

 

[Cdog]

It’s a cultural experience down there. Lol! Never had any problems though.

I was just there 2 weeks ago. This time we went to Lawrys. Oh wow! That was a treat..

 

[regor]

Get some pictures of the Texas transplant freaks.

 

[bowtiejunkie]

Got a rental car or just visiting downtown? Some great eats and sites in the outlying areas of Austin.

Mellow Johnny’s bike shop is downtown unless you hate cycling and/or Lance Armstrong.

 

[pronstar]

You’ll have a blast.
Huge foodie town if you’re an eater…

My favorite joint in Austin:

No, it's the rectum...

 

[Bobby V]

No, it's the rectum...

Reading some of the inmates posts. Austin seems to have some nice places to eat for being a "rectum".

 

[rivrrts429]

it’s a fun town. Not to live but to work and play.

Damn near!

 

[4Waters]

Do the Comal River Float, all of you will definitely enjoy it, bring a cooler with some beer and rent a tube for the cooler.

 

[BUDMAN]

 

[Racey]

Torchy's Tacos is pretty good spot for lunch. They have some pretty awesome tacos with all kinds of strange combos and good margaritas!

x2 on the Lone Star

 

[DILLIGAF]

Careful around the ATMs. There has been a bunch of robberies from people at the ATMs of late.

Cheers!

All that good food we eat eventually comes out the other end.

When the homeless downtown are taking a shit in the bed of your truck while you have lunch...the description is accurate. The beggars are also hyper aggressive down there... Austin pre-scamdemic was a lot different...most of 6th st went under and is either still boarded up, or became a "hip hop" Club.....

OP get out of the city and into the hill country..lots to see and do.

 

[USMC2010]

Welcome, we went out to Lake Travis a couple months back, it is low. I have never had a Lone Star, Yuengling is pretty good, they finally opened a brewery outside of PA, it is in Dallas/Ft. a year ago. Barton Springs is an interesting water hole to go see.

[Shlbyntro]

I used to enjoy heading to Austin for work. Now, not so much.

Californian's listing "East"California BBQ tourists traps

OP I'd take him up on this...some great on the water places to stop etc.

 

[Tooms22]

I don't think anyone mentioned the wineries, breweries, and distilleries around Fredericksburg. That's a pretty awesome area.

I recently saw a winery on Instagram in the area called the Rhinory. You drink wine and hang out with Rhinos

@shintoooo @BUDMAN

If y'all get down around new braunfels this weekend (which I would recommend as it is a hotspot of live music..) let me know and I'll give you some venues and names.

We hit up a country bar called The Broken Spoke. A lot of history and a lot of fun .
