About
1717 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78702, USA Get directions
Something Cool Studios sits along East Cesar Chavez Street, one of the spines of East Austin's creative scene, where art studios and galleries share the block with taquerias and coffee shops. It's the kind of working art space the neighborhood is known for, so it's worth checking ahead for open hours or events before you stop in.

Pinballz Lake Creek
Austin
This sprawling Austin entertainment complex pairs Pinballz's signature wall-to-wall collection of classic and modern pinball machines with go-karts, bowling lanes, and a full bar and kitchen, so it leans more toward a full evening out than a quick stop. First-timers usually notice the sheer density of games packed in — vintage cabinets sitting right alongside the latest tables — making it easy to lose a few hours without realizing it.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Mueller
Austin
Alamo Drafthouse's Mueller location keeps the chain's signature formula intact: you order food and craft cocktails right from your seat, delivered quietly mid-film, while a strict no-talking, no-texting policy keeps the room focused on the screen. Beyond first-run releases, it's worth checking the calendar for themed screenings, quote-alongs, and the pre-show reels of vintage clips that Alamo curates instead of commercials.
Escapology Escape Rooms
Round Rock
Part of the Escapology chain, this Round Rock spot sets you and your group inside themed rooms where you've got 60 minutes to work through a sequence of puzzles, locks, and hidden clues before the clock runs out. It's a good fit for families, coworkers, or a small crew of friends, and the late evening hours mid-week mean you can book a game well after dinner.
