Fun Bars
Donn's is the absolute best dive bar if you're looking for live music and a little swing or two-step dancing. It's located inside of an old train depot with cheap drinks, twinkly lights, and a hoppin' dance floor.

Good Food
Best barbecue you can get in Austin without waiting in a crazy line! If there IS a line, you can grab a beer while you wait. The brisket will blow your mind.

The original Chuy's! It doesn't feel like a national chain inside—they have really quirky decor and a fun vibe. Favorite things on the menu: their stuffed avocado or the Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom Enchiladas (pro tip: get extra Boom-Boom sauce).

Sightseeing
Such a beautiful trail that wraps around Lady Bird Lake. There are so many points where you can enter, but my favorite is by the Austin High School tennis courts (which you can point your Uber to).

A gorgeous fourteen-acre museum and sculpture garden on the shores of Lake Austin. Great for when you're in the mood for art and nature at the same time. They also have a little cafe!

An Austin classic! The water is always around 70 degrees, so it's very refreshing on a hot day. There is a small entrance fee and you can't bring food or drink inside (they're very strict on that).
