Rainey Street, Austin · bar
A converted Rainey Street house with a sprawling backyard that functions more like an outdoor music venue than a bar. Two stages keep live bands and DJs in rotation, karaoke and game-day crowds fill out the calendar, and a taco truck handles the inevitable late-night hunger. With 21 beers on tap and plenty of room to spread out, it’s the kind of place where people show up in the afternoon and accidentally stay all night.
