Stubbs in Austin

Post by cybrus »

I'm going to be traveling to Texas for my brother's wedding and one of the places we're planning on visiting is Austin. We'll definitely be stopping at Stubbs BBQ and I was wondering if anyone knows if that is posted or not? Also, would it fall under 51% or greater alcohol rule or not?

If anyone has any other places in Austin that should either be avoided or are "Must See", let me know!

Thanks

Hmm, that's a difficult one. Stubb's is both a restaurant and a music venue. The shows there are generally admission-based, so that combined with the fact that it's a restaurant makes it quite possible that it's not 51%. When are you traveling to Austin? If I'm down that way, I'll see if I can take a look. You can also call the Austin TABC office and get a vague answer as to whether they are considered a "restaurant" or "bar". I've not found their answers to be satisfactory or comprehensive, though.

I'll be there in April. If you are in the area and can take a look, I'd appreciate it! Worst case would be to just lock it up in the car while I'm inside, but I hate leaving things in the car, especially when out of state.

Thanks!

As far as Austin is concerned, are there any places I should definitely check out? I'm definitely looking forward to the music aspect (huge blues fan) but I would love to see anything cool that the city has to offer.

Fun things to do around Austin... I am a big fan of the greenbelt - spend a lot of time running up and down that. There are also some great bird and butterfly watching places in the area. I would say that the Salt Lick (original in Driftwood) is a must visit - but go hungry and with cash (they don't take plastic). The bats downtown are pretty cool as well.

Oh, that's quite a ways away. I'm sure I can have an answer for you by then. ;-)

There's tons of great things to do in Austin. What type of stuff are you into?

We're up for just about anything! Unfortunately, we won't be in Austin for long - making a day trip up from San Antonio. Good restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. I'd like to take a more serious visit to Austin in the future, but this one is short and sweet.
