Many cities have an area or street that is know for its night life and entertainment. Whether it’s live music, dance clubs or sports bars, it’s the place where the “in” crowd go on most any night of the week. When in Austin, TX, that place is the seven blocks of Sixth Street between Congress and IH 35.

With historical houses and commercial buildings dating as far back as the late 1800’s, they now house numerous bars, a variety of live entertainment venues, tattoo parlors, art galleries, cafes and upscale restaurants. One of the “must see” places is the elegant Driskill Hotel. Live music of every genre abounds with something for everyone’s musical taste. If dinner is your destination, you can find most any type of area specialties, such as Tex-Mex, ribs, chili and ribs, or steak, seafood, cajun-cooking, and even deli. 

Don’t spend the night in Austin, without a trip to Sixth Street.
