Alicia & Sean
Things to Do
Jester King -- Brewery, Kitchen, Farm & Event Hall
This is a massive brewery outside of the city. Definitely a must-visit!
The Original Pinballz Arcade
This arcade is BYOB, you heard that right folks.
Peter Pan Mini-Golf
This old school mini golf course is also BYOB, isn't Austin great?
The Butterfly Bar @ The VORTEX
This is our favorite date night spot! It's part bar, part outdoor theatre, and part restaurant. Sound intriguing? Bring an appetite, because the Italian food truck Patrizi's located in the courtyard of the bar is the best pasta in the city.
South Congress Avenue
South Congress is a fun street to stroll along, window shop, and grab ice cream and coffee. Make sure to check out the famous "i love you so much" graffiti at Jo's Coffee. At dusk, make your way to the South Congress bridge to watch Austin's bat colony fly out from under the bridge. Alicia's favorite thing in the city!
Canary Roost
This is our favorite bar for karaoke! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but you will have so much fun here.
Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park
This hiking trail is off-leash friendly, so be prepared to meet some furry friends. We like to come here on weekends to take the dogs swimming.
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
Maybe a little chilly in October, but absolutely do not miss seeing Barton Springs pool at Zilker Park.
Amy's Ice Creams
There are several Amy's throughout the city, but this one is definitely in the most scenic location.
Torchy's Tacos
WE LOVE TORCHY'S. Hit up this spot for some *authentic* Austin tacos.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Mueller
Our local movie theatre is a true Austin experience. Go to any of their locations to enjoy a dine-in movie.
El Chile Café y Cantina
This is a fun spot on the east side with some good Tex Mex and drinks. We recommend the ceviche! (Check out their happy hour menu too)
Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden
Is it a coffee shop? Is it a bar? Is it a food truck park? Who knows, just enjoy it and don't ask too many questions. This place is awesome.
Austin Central Library, Austin Public Library
The Austin Central Library is making libraries cool again. This new-ish spot is MASSIVE and complete with a cafe, gift shop, rooftop terrace, board game lounge, and mini-museums. Oh, and books. Definitely set aside several hours for this.
Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail
This is a huge hike and bike trail that circles Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin. The entire loop spans 10 miles, with several shortcuts if you're not up for the full 16k experience.
Summer Moon Coffee
Our favorite! This coffee shop has several locations around the city, and it is delicious. Alicia's order: the Blueberry Crisp Latte (1/3 sweet, extra shot of espresso). Sean's order: the Sean Connery (triple espresso and Moon Milk shaken over ice).
Mount Bonnell
Come see where Sean almost proposed to Alicia! Warning: there are 100000 steps, but the views are killer.
Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve
Come see where Sean ACTUALLY proposed to Alicia! Also, peacocks.
Blanton Museum of Art
While you are here, take some time to wander around Sean's alma mater, as this museum is on the UT Campus.
la Barbecue
This is Alicia's favorite barbecue in the city.
The Salt Lick BBQ
This bbq is a little outside the city, but conveniently close to our wedding venue. This restaurant is BYOB (are you surprised?) and is in a gorgeous rural country setting. Highly recommend trying the brisket.
Hopsquad Brewing Co
A new-ish brewery for us, and it's got a lot of great beers with a few on-site food trucks.
