Hard Proof hosts Felabration 2026, a free tribute to afrobeat creator Fela Kuti featuring Kalu James and members of Brownout, Grupo Fantasma, Polyphonic Spree, Black Pumas and Golden Dawn Arkestra. All ages, free to attend.
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.
House-smoked 1 lb wings, choice of lemon pepper, sweet chili, or buffalo.
Cup-and-char pepperoni, roasted peppers, pickled red onion on NY-style crust.
Dill garlic sauce, bacon, sliced pickles, crushed red pepper on NY-style crust.
