Bouldin outpost known for its margaritas, extensive salsa bar & large patio. If you drink prepare to get a ride home. Don't miss out on the women making home-made tortillas inside. You might miss them if you choose an outside table.

BEST Migas brakfast tacos and home made chips! My friends and I agree these are the best tacos in Austin. There are many locations. My favorite (if eating outside) is the Webberville Rd location.

One of the best beer selections in town on tap and in bottles, plus an Indian menu with interesting fusion dishes are the draw to this quirky Travis Heights convenience store with a long counter and stools for seating, plus an outdoor patio; occasional live music and a funky, low-key vibe mean it’s a good spot to decompress after a long day.

So freakin close. With a rooftop deck, plenty of patio seating and a rustic interior, this tavern on Cesar Chavez is a comfortable spot for meaty fare, local beer and barrel-aged and draft cocktails. The former pitmaster from Lambert's turns out barbecue brisket, ribs, pulled pork and smoked poultry by the pound alongside comfort classics like Frito pie, tater tots, cobbler and banana pudding. Not much for vegetarians.

Drinks & Nightlife

Old Austin with the coolest bathroom. Hahaha yes, look it up. To visit Donn’s Depot is like entering a time warp: the decor hasn’t changed in decades, the bathrooms are actual train cars, the dance floor is packed with regulars who fall into the over-60 category and, on weekends, Donn himself sits at the piano and takes requests. This is the place to take out-of-towners and the ambiance is especially cozy around the holidays, when colorful string lights dominate the space.
