Cheap pizza and constantly rotating in-house brews. My favorite was the Big Lebowski (a White Russian-flavored porter) but there are new beers every. single. time. These guys are PROLIFIC brewers.

Bit of a drive but more than worth it. Climb the second-largest granite dome in the US with an uphill but pretty mild one-mile hike. Stop at Pedernales Falls State Park on your way back. The Hill Country has some of the most beautiful natural areas I've ever seen.

Arts & Culture
Texas is a weird state, and its history is fascinating. The Texas Capitol is a beautiful pink replica of the US Capitol and the inside is now a free museum. The grounds are lovely and on Tuesday nights is home to the Austin Flow Jam, which is when a bunch of hippies do hula hoops and stuff if you're into that. My girlfriend often goes.

Sightseeing
It's called a Texas Baptism and you just need to do it. It's the most pristine spring-fed natural pool in the middle of a city you'll ever swim in. Lots of fun to see where the springs come out of the cliffside, free your nips, jump off the diving board, or snorkel.
