The ATXM Friendsgiving open mic is open to individuals and bands, with backline provided and performers selected by lottery. Musicians can also bring gently used gear to the trade-only Gear Swap, and the event is free with RSVP required.
Central Machine Works is a sprawling East Austin beer hall with a rotating craft lineup, surprisingly good New York-style pizza, and enough outdoor space to spread out. Live music anchors most weekends, the Rachel Reuben is the sleeper hit on the food menu, and the beer garden specializes in turning a quick drink into an entire evening.
