Food scene

This is a great way to enjoy a cocktail and good eats while soaking in beautiful Lake Austin! There is usually a wait during the lunch and dinner rush, but several bars on location where you can grab a drink and wait in the shade. Well worth the trip!

My favorite Asian restaurant in town! It's small and intimate, so try to make a reservation. Must-haves are the soup dumplings and the spicy shrimp!

It's a grocery store, but also has a FANTASTIC patio, and playground! Inside there is a restaurant with some good food options and several beers on tap, as well as wine options. The store has a great meat and seafood selection, and is fun for the kids to walk around and see everything. Very affordable, and a great way to let the kids play while the adults sit back and watch with a drink!

This country bar has been around since 1964- it is an iconic place! It's popular and draws a weekend crowd, but worth the trip if you love historic dancehalls and people watching!

Another uniquely Austin spot. The pool is spring-fed and brisk, but stunning! Other options are to SUP or canoe from Zilker park, which leads out to Lady Bird Lake. One of our favorite experiences.
