About
1502 E 6th St, Austin, TX 78702, USA Get directions
Hotel Vegas is an East Sixth Street mainstay where two indoor stages and a sprawling string-lit back patio host nightly live music spanning psych-rock, garage, cumbia, and beyond. The first thing you'll notice is the laid-back, divey character that sets it apart from the polished bars nearby—expect cheap drinks, a taco trailer out back, and a crowd that's there for the bands.

Terry Black's Barbecue
Austin
Terry Black's sits on Barton Springs Road in a barn-like space, where you'll order cafeteria-style at the counter, watching the pitmasters slice brisket by the pound straight off the butcher paper. It's worth arriving hungry and a little early, since the lines move steadily but the brisket and beef ribs can sell out before closing.
Corner Restaurant
Austin
Set in the JW Marriott on downtown Austin's 2nd Street, Corner Restaurant leans into all-day American dining, opening early for breakfast and staying open late at the bar. Its corner spot puts you within easy walking distance of the convention center and the bars and music venues just a few blocks over.
Caroline
Austin
Caroline is a downtown Austin all-day spot just off Congress Avenue, the kind of place you can drop into for coffee in the morning and still find humming with a dinner crowd late into the evening. Expect casual American plates and a relaxed, social atmosphere that leans more neighborhood hangout than formal restaurant.
