Drinks & Nightlife
We're both part & parcel to bars with a relaxed vibe where you can chat with your friends about any & everything. Buzzmill is just that with a splice of home for us (home being Oregon).
Plus! Infused whiskey & delicious coffee, on top of the beer.

I fell in love with the Whip In during election season. They routinely held screenings of the debates from the primaries onward & boy-oh-boy it was filled with excited, intelligent folks eager to talk politics and (get this!) not get angry about it.
The beer selection is excellent and the mediterranean cuisine is even better! My favorite offering are the beer-fusion drinks. Beermosa (Hefeweizen & OJ)! Night & Day (Porter & Coffee)! Count me in!

Entertainment & Activities
C'mon! You're in Austin. You've got to visit the Alamo Drafthouse while you're here and there's no better Alamo in town than the one on South Lamar (nor one closer to where we live).
No talking, no texting, good food, great beer & even better movies. If you've never been, I'll give you this warning...you'll never be able to go to a regular movie theater again.

Shopping
When we say "Good for Everything Else," we really, really mean it.
Uncommon Objects feels like the Room of Requirement or something out of the Pagemaster. You really just have to wander in one day and let yourself be surprised when you walk out and it's already nighttime.
Plenty can be found for cheap (souvenirs and the like) or you can spend a hefty fortune. It's up to you!

Parks & Nature
Zilker is the *it* park in Austin. It's big. It's full of cute lil dogs. And, more often than not, it seems there's some big festival of sorts going on out there.
Whether it's the Kite Festival, Austin City Limits, Trail of Lights, Blues on the Green or any number of so many others you're likely in for a treat every time you make your way out yonder.
Even if there's no festival going on, you're still going to have a blast. There's a bunch to explore and plenty of places to get in the water and go Stand Up Paddleboarding if you so desire.
