🍹 Drinks & Nightlife: Whether you’re into rooftop bars (The Contemporary or Maggie Mae’s), craft cocktails (Midnight Cowboy, a hidden speakeasy), or dive bars (The Library, Casino El Camino), you’ll find it all within a block.
🍔 Late-Night Eats: Casino El Camino is a legend for 3AM burgers. Voodoo Doughnut keeps the party going with outrageous sweets. Or stumble into Iron Cactus for late-night Tex-Mex.
🌇 Daytime Fun: By day, walk just a few blocks to the Texas State Capitol, Lady Bird Lake trail, or Rainey Street for bungalow bars and food trucks. The Convention Center is also a short stroll away.
