The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co.
A South Austin brewery, pizzeria and live-music room near Zilker, one of Austin’s most awarded modern breweries. Festival-goers use it as a pre-game or off-day spot — house beer and live local music in the festival’s own neighborhood.
The Broken Spoke
Austin's last true honky-tonk, serving cold beer and two-stepping since 1964. Willie Nelson, George Strait, and Dolly Parton have all played here. During SXSW and ACL, this is the authentic Austin experience that draws celebrities looking for the real Texas.
The Continental Club
A small 21+ club on South Congress, a cornerstone of Austin live music since 1955 and an official SXSW venue for decades. Its compact room and deep roots make it a locals-trusted spot fans seek out for discovery sets away from the downtown crush.
Easy Tiger Bake Shop & Beer Garden
Easy Tiger's East Sixth Street beer garden is a sprawling outdoor space that has become a favorite pre-game gathering spot for UT Longhorns fans, live music festival-goers, and Formula 1 fans descending on Austin during the US Grand Prix weekend. The enormous outdoor deck, excellent German-style sausages, and carefully curated draft beer list provide the perfect warmup to a big Austin sports weekend, and the relaxed atmosphere encourages lingering. On Longhorns home-game Saturdays, burnt orange fills the garden and the vibe rivals any college town tailgate.
