If you like Mezcal, check out Techo. The staff are really helpful and can suggest flights to try. There are like 10 chairs in the whole place so arrive early if you have a large group.

This place gets packed but it has a great outdoor space when you need fresh air. The music is mostly disco and remixes of hits but it's impossible not to dance.

Parks and Outdoors
A local Austin favorite. Walking around town lake never gets old. Some of the largest cedar trees in Austin are located here. Plenty of activities to do including swimming in Barton Springs, paddle boarding, the Zilker Botanical Gardens, etc.

Super touristy but the views are worth it. Every picture taken here looks good. It's a short hike but it's pretty rocky.

Sightseeing
Great for walking around, riding scooters, and exploring little shops during the day. There's also several historical Austin businesses here like Lucy in Disguise (a famous costume shop), The Continental Club, and Guero's.
