Entertainment

Pros: The quintessential anti-chain steakhouse...
Cons: Way off the beaten path...

Entertainment is an interesting concept, don't you think?

By the nature of the word, you'd expect it to be something given to you by some outside party. I've found however, that - like happiness - it is more often than not internally...

Pros: Azure: a club that's anything but blue
Cons: It's a club: loudish, smoky, and full of people enviably better-looking than I

This past weekend, a new club – Azure – opened in the reviving downtown district, on Main at Rusk. It rounds out the block that also hosts the Flying Saucer pub and Ruggles (for chow).

Now, saying 'new club opens in Houston' is about as...

Pros: Bliss.
Cons: Vocabularical confusion.

With respectful apologies to those who will refuse to believe that a dining experience can qualify as 'entertainment,' I will say that I'm not sure that one should categorize the consumption of coffee and beignets at the Cafe du Monde in New Orleans as a...

Pros: Greatest Party Town in Texas...
Cons: Why'd they have to break the mold?

Austin is unquestionably THE capitol of Texas, whether officially or not (do you honestly think of Albany as the REAL capitol of NY?). The ambiance downtown would make you think they carved a piece of Greenwich Village out of NYC and dropped it into the...

Pros: An abundance of great music to dance to
Cons: Some clubs have really small dance floors and can be crowded and smokey

Austin, known fondly as "Music Capital of the World" really is home to an alarming number of excellent musicians and wonderful venues in which to hear them. What you might not know is how many of them you can dance to. There are a number of...

Pros: Get night life
Cons: TU

i live about an hour from Austin, Tx and travel there on weekends to go out to 6th Street. 6th street is the place to be to enjoy the night life you the city of Austin. And boy is it a culture shock. If you are politically correct or narrow minded,...

Pros: wonderful venues and performers for music and film
Cons: overwhelming number of places to go!

I can't tell you how homesick I am for Texas and especially the great music that Austin offered. Not only the best radio station in the world
(KGSR 107.1), but UNBELIEVABLE live music all over the place all the time! I mean, you go somewhere for...

Pros: Music, Movies, Sports, Outdoors, Food, and Just Plain Fun
Cons: Hard to decide what to do

When most people think of Austin, they think of Music(The Live Music Capital of the World), but Austin is much more than just music. Austin has a wide and varied range of entertainment.

Music, of course, is the claim to fame and many people...

Pros: some cool bands despite the hype
Cons: overpriced wristbands, being at the same venue with "music industry" people

This might fall under the category of biting the hand that feeds me, but my band has played the sxsw festival 6 times and quite frankly I do not share others enthusiasm for sxsw. This is not to say that I despise sxsw or regret playing the festival....

Pros: lots to do, shopping, drinking, pretty scenery
Cons: everything is hidden

I went on a little road trip last summer with my guy and one of our destinations was Austin, TX. Honestly, I have been here a good 3 or 4 times, but each time I find new activities. The downside on Austin is you can not simply find something RIGHT ...

Pros: beautiful lake, clear
Cons: not many boat ramps if you have a boat

If you love to go to lakes and site see, Lake Travis in Austin Texas is the place to go. We went last year and took our jetskis and it is the most beautiful clear lake I have ever seen in my life. I never thought a lake could be so very clear. My...

Pros: Excellent night life and shopping.
Cons: It's a little spread out.

Austin is one of the most lively places in the world. There is always something going on. It seems like every turn there is a new club or restaurant. 6th street and Guadalupe or the drag both have incredible shopping and night life options. This...

Pros: no line no waiting.  no one eats here anymore
Cons: bad taste in your mouth.

tacos served with bigotry.  Plenty of good taco places.  go somewhere where they respect civil rights. what kind of Business is this? 

Pros: Ummmm....wracking my brain to find something positive...it has a parking lot !
Cons: The food was atrocious - a few bites and that was enough! "Check, please!"

This place could be somewhat good if they started serving food that was edible. My girlfriend and I visited and I tried a double of their "tacos" and found enough grease to almost start a Brylcreem factory...nasty! The g/f opted for the hotdog and wished she hadn't - don't know what they did to the chilli beans...and probably don't wanna know either.

We won't be going near this place again!
