Description
Looking for the best places to eat and drink in Austin? These are my recommendations.
Austin is famous for its slow-cooked barbeque, live music and laid-back vibe.

But my top pick for a post-race party has to be Pete's Duelling Pianos on 6th Street. It’s a firm favourite with the F1 fraternity, and was Lewis Hamilton’s venue of  choice for celebrating his third Driver’s Championship. If you want to party like (or maybe even with) an F1 driver, don’t miss it. I’ve spotted Lewis and Nico Rosberg there myself.
The Moonshine Bar & Grill on Red River Street is a local food favourite, serving delicious southern dishes in a beautiful historic building. I recommend the cowboy-rubbed flat iron steak with smoked cheddar butter and Shiner Bock sauce (made with a good Texas beer). Speaking of good beers, Austin Amber Ale was my favourite of the many local craft brews.

If you’re looking for barbeque, family-run Franklin Barbeque lives up to its huge reputation with incredible brisket, ribs, turkey and sausage. There’s usually a long wait time, though. Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que is another great BBQ option - and the brisket comes personally recommended by Sky Sports’ F1 commentator David Croft.
​

Other great places to check out include the unique bars on Rainey Street, the hipster vibes of South Congress Avenue, and The W Austin Hotel with its secret bar and special Grand Prix cocktail menu.
