A true Austin classic. 24-7. You will see Old Austin here, just updated a bit, waiters with stylish punk hair color, piercings, and a unicycle if they could manage it. They are famous for pancakes-- you gotta have 'em! And a tip--- order the fried avocado tacos. You will be very happy you did.

Parks & Nature
It's the Jewel of Austin. It's why some people live here. Dive into the magical waters of Barton Springs Pool and cool off enough that you won't need AC the rest of the day. 68 degrees year-round and a sacred place to Austinites.
