"Down in South Austin, The Far Out Lounge is a large music venue and bar that also plays host to a few great food trucks and trailers. And with shows going on almost every night, it’s a great spot to listen to live music and enjoy some bites." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"On the other side of this small South Austin bar is a sprawling backyard with two music stages—a small, rustic setup for emerging artists and a bigger one that attracts established acts, particularly of the country and indie-rock variety. The Far Out’s grounds transform into a mini-Coachella for the Austin Psych Fest every spring, which is basically a Pitchfork reader’s Shangri-La (past headliners include Toro y Moi and Courtney Barnett). But this is also a fun place to hang out when live music isn’t happening. There are food trucks on site." - matthew jacobs
