Outdoor bars
Moontower is only a short drive away, and it has a massive covered outdoor seating area where you can socially distance. It has volleyball courts, cheap beer, and a ton of comedian appearances! It’s one of our go-to places to sit down, relax, and drink on a sunny day.

Whenever my friends are in town, I always make sure to drive them out to Jester King! It’s a beautiful 200-acre ranch with hills covered in oak trees! They have a great selection of sours and refreshing beers. Also, if you’d like to learn more about goats, they offer an awesome tour where you can pet the goats! Great activity for kids too!

Another hidden gem in South Austin! Enjoy live music, food, and beer on their outdoor patio. They have plenty of picnic tables and a large stage for up and coming local musicians. If you come hungry, we usually order the burger or chicken sandwich. Both are filling and quite affordable! You’ll absolutely love the atmosphere here!

If you have some time to explore outside of Austin, it’s worth a trip out to Krause Springs! They have a spring fed swimming hole along with a swimming pool that you can enjoy. The area is surrounded by tall trees and greenery. It’s so beautiful and a lovely place to swim and relax!

If you’ve never been tubing, Texas State Tubes is a great place to start! For a couple of bucks, you can rent a tube and get a shuttle pass to drive you back to your parking spot after the river trip ends! The river takes about 3+ hours to float, but it completely depends on the currents. This is one of my favorite activities to do in Texas!

It's an iconic Austin staple. A natural, spring-fed pool that stays cold year-round. Near downtown and Zilker Park, and a great way to beat the summer heat!
