Established in the late 1800s, East Austin is steeped in rich history and culture. Cesar Chavez Street, 11th Street, and 6th Street are all hotbeds of dive bars, restaurants, boutique shops, and more. And while “dirty” 6th St. downtown helped solidify Austin’s reputation as “The Music Capital of the World,” it’s East 6th that’s keeping the spirit alive. On any given day, live music can be found in any number of venues - and during SXSW, the neighborhood is transformed into a walkable festival for visitors and residents alike.

To the south is Austin’s famous Lady Bird Lake and boardwalk and to the west is downtown and the infamous Rainey Street. Shady oak trees as old as the neighborhood itself line the streets and colorful homes dot the landscape everywhere you turn. East Austin is the perfect neighborhood to get lost while you stroll looking for good drinks, fine foods, and countless other hidden gems.
