What an awesome and fun environment! We got to see the TexManiacs followed by Taylor Graves and the Tombstone Trio. The venue is excellent, the musicians are top-notch, and the food is great.

Austin staple, the dive bar with live music there too see friends and take photos for them Willie's daughter and Arlo Guthrie's daughter. Who were great. Great drinks didn't eat. But the menu was standard bar fare.

Best spot in town Thursday night for a gr8 female led, supergroup called PAACK, 6-8pm ! Must get there early before or by 5pm to even think about a seat. Outdoor covered patio w misters and tvs, (if you can't find indoor seating.) Outside a Chicago themed food truck, Wrigleyville has decent Chicago dogs and beef, parking is very limited. So if you do ride hare services you may consider it unless you get there super early or between sets. *Read signs so you don't get towed parking nearby. -photos by Wendy B.
