DJ Vanessa dropping knowledge

Las Perlas – a mezcaleria that sometimes has bands and a cool vibe.
Gabriela’s Restaurant and sister restaurant Taquero Mucho are both downtown and have DJs for brunch! Excellent cocktails and snacks!
Mala Vida is a club that also has a lot of Mexican musical acts (banda/ cumbia) and DJs.
El rincón de Emily
Some suggestions from the fabulous Emily Bernate of St. Edward’s University.
For exercise and fresh air, Hotel Indigo is very close to the Lady Bird Lake trail, which features a 3- to 10-mile run, depending on which bridge one crosses.
There may be good enough weather to kayak, and one can rent from Congress Avenue Kayaks, which is walking distance from the hotel (0.7 mile).
For entertainment, White Horse Saloon has country music, the Elephant Room serves up jazz, and Antone’s and Skylark Lounge has soul and blues.
For Latin music aficionados still feeling energetic after the evening events, Esquina Tango has a milonga on Thursday night and a Latin music social on Friday evening. There also may be a Saturday afternoon milonga.
Lo recomendado
The following list comes from James Hyland, recording artist, long-time Austin resident, and Steven’s younger brother.
Casino El Camino – great burgers
Continental Club – great music and Austin vibe
Continental Club Gallery – sister club upstairs. Intimate vibe
C-Boys – great music venue similar to Continental Club; Friday and Saturday night typically have Jimi Vaughan playing guitar there.
Güeros Taco Bar – good food and surprisingly great breakfast tacos
Cooper’s BBQ – its downtown on Congress and pretty damn good cue…
