Bucks, good luck this weekend, no injuries!
I thought i'd drop a line for visitors next weekend.
1. Austin is smoke free, so find a bar with a outside terrace if u smoke.
2. If your sneaking booze into the game, best to walk in 10-15 minutes before game begins with the crowd. Purses will be checked and you may be patted down, but if you walk in with the masses, booze on back, your probably ok.
3. Around halftime, you'll see many UT fans leaving the stadium. Alumni Center is across the street on the west side of the stadium. A halftime beer, cocktail, margarita is a must. Also, this is a good spot to meet before the game. Many TV's with the games on throughout the place.
4. Stubbs is located on red river near many very weird bars. best to walk 2 blocks to 6th street where they are only weird bars.Toosheas Bar on 6th has a "flaming dr pepper" shot thats a must
5. Tailgating is a cluster f*ck, with people tailgating all around the stadium, in parking garages and between buildings. For visitors, i recommend south of stadium and a visit to Scholtz's bar( san jacinto &17th). Its owned or was owned by Steve McMichael of Bears, very cool bar where lots of media/radio will be. There are a few parking lots around san jacinto &18th to Texas History Museum (just south of mlk) that are good tailgating spots.
6. While there are many places for partying, 6th street between i-35 and east of congress will be happening from thursday afternoon til sunday 2am. There are some more laid back bars on 6th street 1/2 mile west of congress. 4th and 5th street west of congress is called the warehouse district, a bit older crowd and less weirdos.
7. Frank Erwin Center, Buckeye pre-game, is known as " The Drum ". It's on MLK and i-35, looks like a drum, easy to find. Due west of the Drum is good taigating areas and Scholtz's.
8. Best to call Roy's Taxi 512-482-0000 or yellow cab 512-452-9999 if boozing. Austin has many one ways and short ramps where u can get in trouble if unfamiliar and boozing.
9. Try Shiner Bock, Lonestar, and all Mexican Beers. All good if you are unfamiliar
10. People are diverse, 1/3 will not know a football game is going on. You'll see some a-holes, but most will just be welcoming and will want everyone to have a good time.
Hope some of this helps.
See Yall soon,
