Food scene

Arguably some of the best BBQ in the city and we know how bold of a claim that is! Brisket sandwiches are out of this world! You will have to get their early as there is ALWAYS a long line. If you love meat...get in line! Don't be fooled by the location, this is a small grocery store with a BBQ food truck on the side. As it should be in Austin!

What can't Lou's do?! They have great breakfast tacos (Lambert's Brisket!!), lattes, for the morning. At night they have wine bottles to go, delicious frozen custard, and late night treats. We love going to Lou's for a quick late night snack and drink!

I love this place, its the first place I went to after moving to East Atx. BBQ is on point, they have legit tacos and BBQ options. They also have Fróze on tap and my ultimate favorite painkillers. You can easily sit here for hours with great food, great drinks, and a great atmosphere! They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. I have sat here for lunch and dinner one day, you could say I like it here

Want to put on your fancy pants and have an incredible authentic Italian cuisine, Juniper is your spot. Great Italian eating but just a heads up the portions are smaller. So if you are like me and need Texas sized portions, this place may not be for you. But we for sure recommend!

A local favorite that has incredibly fun vibes and even better food with its French-Vietnamese fusion! An unlikely but fantastic combination, one of the best places in town!

AKA Dirty 6th, turns out it's not that dirty any more. East 6th still has some of the legendary bars and stops that earned the name Dirty 6th. There has been a lot of recent investment into this side of town. My wife and I often walk up and down East 6th with absolutely no worries. There are quite a bit of homeless people, but thats just Austin. East 6th has quite a few new bars, breweries, and restaurants. There is not a bad spot on the street! Here are a couple of links to help navigate East 6th: Guide to Dirty 6th: https://austinot.com/guide-dirty-6th-street-austin-texas How to Do East 6th Street: https://do512.com/p/east-6th

The Domain has a little bit of everything for everyone! Want to get a Guinness at an Irish Bar, they got that. Want to feel like your shopping on 5th Avenue, they got that too. It's late and you want to party, they have several nightclubs as well. The domain has it all!

While its being updated for some more swanky Austin fun, it still has some of the old Austin charm. A really fun place to spend the afternoon!
