ABGB: Austin Beer Garden and Brewery

This is a great place if you love hearing live music eating pizza, and drinking beer brewed backstage. There is plenty of inside space when the weather isn't great and outdoor space when it is. Austin Music Television held their first Support Austin Music Benefit here and thousands of local artists call this place home. They have beer for every taste, from an Amber to an IPA and good pizza to go with it.

Check out their lineup online.

The Austin Explorer

My name is Nifty Nate and I am engaged to the love of my life, Miss Amber.
We have lived in Austin for 15 years and still have not visited every great spot in our little town.

People would ask us where to go and we would suggest the usual places: The Continental Club, Hope Graffiti Park, Barton springs pool (or the runoff if you have dogs).

If you only visit these places you haven't even scratched the paint on this city. We wanted to get some better date night ideas so we started asking people where their favorite places are, we put it all into a giant spreadsheet and The Austin Explorer was born.

The big long link to the spreadsheet:

or a short one you can remember: (They both go to the same sheet.)

You can VIEW, but NOT edit. This is to preserve the integrity of this project. We only want authentic answers from authentic people who aren't motivated by anything other than the desire to share great places with others. 

We go out and actually talk to people and ask them about their favorite places in Austin.  You might make some small talk with us and we ask you in passing "Hey, what's your favorite restaurant around here? or Where do you like to go on rainy days like this?" 

We aren't looking for a million people saying "Oh Franklin's is the best BBQ."  It's amazing Barbecue don't get us wrong, but Franklin's is probably not your regular spot for BBQ.*(1)

We want to hear about your regular spots, your actual favorites, Tell me about Black's and Donn's BBQ, Tell me about Fonda San Miguel's Duck Enchilada's, Tell me about the Porkchops at Perry's!
This is Austin, written by all of us.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for your suggestions. We really appreciate it!

*(1) Unless you are from England and you enjoy a good que. In that case Franklin's is THE best place to que for que with a mate or two and maybe a brew because they will serve them to you, or bring your own too, to the que for que.
Expect a 4-8 hour wait.
