Okay so story time, this is the best Asain food in Austin.. At least it was! Until the family that owned this decided to make a second restaurant called 1618 Asian Fusion, improve the quality of ingredients by like 20%, improve the atmosphere by 200% and increase the prices by 300 haha. Either way, neither of these are misses. (Just know there will probably be a wait for both)

Loro, the very new Asian smokehouse and bar brought to you by James Beard Award winners Tyson Cole and Aaron Franklin, features grilled and smoked meats, sides, craft beer, and batch cocktails. Order food at the bar, and dine in the minimal yet warm interior or outside under the shade of ancient oak trees. Loro is a first-come, first-serve joint, and reservations are not available (yet, fingers crossed).

This is the best all around BBQ in Austin. You can be in and out in an hour, it is 95% as good as franklins (a 6 hour wait), it has a good atmosphere and a small selection of beer. Conveniently located by zilker and barton springs as well!

Watch the bats from the South Congress bridge! Bats are cool, but 1.5 million bats flying in a peppered mist against our famously colorful sunsets are the coolest. Each year from March to October, swarms of Mexican free-tailed bats burrow in the crevices underneath the South Congress bridge and emerge each evening to the amazement of wide-eyed tourists and jaded townies alike. The bats set flight around 7pm and the best vantage point is to stand on the Congress Bridge but there are also boats you can rent out and hills to picnic on. Arrive early to avoid the crowds for parking!
