Austin Texas’s Music Scene
Stubb’s Bar-B-Q is more than meat. This large outdoor amphitheater close to downtown serves up stellar barbecue, and the huge outdoor space packs in crowds almost nightly. Opened in 1955, the Scoot Inn is one of Austin Texas’ original venues, though you wouldn’t know it. It underwent a renovation, and the space is fantastic for casual lounging and touring acts that want that low-key vibe. South Austin’s Far Out Lounge & Stage cultivates a lively backyard party feels with a big sound and a relaxed patio stage.
Throw your rock hands in the air like you just don’t care at the expansive indoor/outdoor, beard-loving, taxidermy-rich Mohawk in the Red River Cultural District. Their outdoor space hosts bigger sounds, while the indoor stage typically showcases smaller bands. Though the hanging bulbs and cobbled patio feel miles away from the hubbub, Cedar Street Courtyard is right in the mix of the Warehouse District. Both original artists and cover bands grace the stage, and the upstairs deck is the place to be during SXSW.
The architecturally stunning Moody Amphitheater is situated in the heart of beautiful Waterloo Park. With its Great Lawn and the Texas State Capitol as a dramatic backdrop, the outdoor amphitheater is a picture-perfect venue for live concerts.

Places to Eat
La Barbecue
We love Bobby Mueller, and while our ‘cue honors his legacy, la Barbecue’s recipes are uniquely our own. Bobby liked it fast, but we cook our brisket low ‘n’ slow over Texas post oak for 14 to 16 hours. It’ll melt in your mouth! Forget about hormones and other crap in your meat. We source our beef from a local ranch, where it’s lovingly grass-fed and completely free of hormones. Trust us—you’ll taste the difference. And sure, our meat doesn’t need sauce slathered on top, but our sweet sauce pairs perfectly with the salty beef.
