The 18 Best South Congress Restaurants And Bars In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"When people think of Austin’s music scene, they’re probably thinking of someplace like The Continental Club, one of the mom-and-pop mainstays that has avoided its neighborhood’s Hermèsification. Most shows don’t require advance tickets—just a $10 cover at the door, and sometimes not even that (unless Leon Bridges or Jack White shows up). A single day’s lineup might include a honkey-tonk pianist, a blues duo, and the second coming of The Clash. Grab a Lone Star and soak up the black and red ambiance of a lounge that belongs in a David Lynch movie." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
