Darn Good Places: Night
Best ways to spend a night out in Austin
We are talking about what to do when the sun goes down. I break it down into 4 categories, Morning, Day, Night and Party (late night). At night we are trying to keep our energy going and looking to enjoy a great meal with friends, a show or a drink somewhere with a good view.
Examples: Dinner, Happy Hour, Cocktails, music venues, performance theaters, movie theaters

"Excellent new and cool place to stay in East Austin! Very cool vibe and close to many of the great bars and restaurants on the East side."
This Airbnb was a 10/10! Loved the aesthetic, modern appliances and the bed was super comfortable. Also, it could not be in a better location: across the street from longpays(live music) and Lou’s, and super close to town lake for morning runs. Will definitely be staying here next time I’m in Austin!
"Such an amazing place in E Austin. Everything inside is new and features fantastic products. The beds are crazy comfortable. We loved being a short walk to great coffee shops, bars and restaurants. We felt the friendliness of Austin with the wonderful hospitality."
