Austin, Texas is known as the music capital of the world. This is hard not to believe when you walk down popular streets downtown, for instance, like South Congress, and can hear music pouring out of every corner. Whether it's a musician in a restaurant, a bar, or simply a street corner, Austin has an amazing feel that not many other places have. And, when you look at all the famous singers and performers that grew up within its city limits, it's clear that Austin allows for talent and creativity to cultivate. Here is a list of some concert venues where you can see it happen live in action.
Stubb's Bar-B-Q
- Food? Drinks? Music? What more could you need? Stubb's is a famous concert hall that also doubles as a Bar-B-Q restaurant. It features smaller bands with the occasional big name act. It's a small venue, so it can get packed pretty fast. They also have a "Gospel Brunch" on Sundays, which features a delicious Texas breakfast along with beautiful Gospel music; this makes it a great place to worship and eat great food.
Nutty Brown Amphitheater
- Nutty Brown is also a restaurant that serves amazing food, and it has a backyard patio that leads to a amphitheater, making it a much larger venue. They are typically known for having country and jazz music, but feature big name artists from all types of genres as well. Known as a Texas classic, you can't miss it when driving on 290 as a huge neon sign lights it up.
Austin City Limits Live at Moody Theatre
- ACL Live has every type of artist you could think of come and perform. Located right in the middle of downtown, it is a massive venue that can hold thousands of people. It's a nicer venue, making it more expensive in comparison to others. However, since it really encompasses Austin as a whole, it's worth every penny (especially if you're seeing one of the amazing artists they have perform).
