Best Nightlife in Round Rock

"| When the weather is not blazing hot or at the point of freezing, Austin has a plethora of excellent patio dining spots. Since 2013, Contigo has been one of Austin’s most popular spots for an al fresco experience. Their sprawling backyard and deck offer casual and comfortable southwest ranch-style dining paired with refreshing craft cocktails, shareable bites and plenty of space for events or yard games."

"This East Austin gem has a huge outdoor seating area that is perfect for the whole family. Come rain or shine because they have a large portion of the patio covered. With string lights surrounding the outdoors area, you are sure to enjoy the ambiance but not more than the food and drinks!"

"The ranch-style MLK restaurant is all outdoors, where diners can mix delicious drinks and ox tongue sliders for an excellent evening. Reservations are available."

"With a giant marlin on the wall, oversized aquarium, and under-the-sea decorative accents, Perla’s has that nautical vibe on lock. (It also has a pretty tree-lined patio with tiny Edison lights.) Along with the cool scene, this seafood and oyster bar is a fun spot for a lunch, brunch, or dinner date. Oysters on the half shell, sandwiches, and classic appetizers will start you off right."

"Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in Austin, Perla’s offers a beautiful outdoor seating area right on the busy South Congress Avenue. Enjoy ceviche and wine under the large trees while people watching those who pass by. Perla’s is the perfect spot for brunch, lunch, dinner, and even a quick appetizer and drink!"

"Congress, 512/291-7300www.perlasaustin.comHours: Brunch Sat.-Sun., 10:30am-3pm; lunch Mon.-Fri., 11am-3pm; snacks & raw bar daily, 3-5:30pm; dinner daily, 5:30pm-close. Happy hour weekdays, 3-6pm. To say that McGuire Moorman Hospitality group has the Midas touch would be an understatement."

"Last on this list of my favorite French restaurants in Austin, but most certainly not least, is Justine’s Brasserie. This restaurant, located deep off East 5th street, is the Moulin Rouge of the French restaurants in Austin, and the East side may as well be Montmartre. While the other French restaurants in Austin personify the simple yet detailed and refined French esthetic, Justine’s Brasserie is unapologetically chic and rowdy, with phenomenal food."

"This classic spot is “hidden away” deep on the Eastside, so it’s not the kind of place you’d just drive by. If you’re going to Justine’s, it’s because someone knows how great it is and feels similarly about you. It’s a tiny house with dark lighting, limited seating, and a big patio under twinkling lights, which is basically the background of every stock photo of couples being romantic."

"While Justine’s is as much of a scene as a restaurant, the little French eatery has earned a loyal following primarily because of the expertly prepared cuisine. The loyalty of Justine’s clientele is even more amazing given the restaurant’s location -- in far east Austin. The scallops and mussels are the most popular entrees."

"The value of the $60 prix fixe here is the best in the city for a lot of reasons, most of them are individual dishes that cycle every week. The menu makes use of seasonal, local ingredients and offerings might include charred orange-glazed cauliflower with herb purée or a delicate roasted beet crêpe folded with hazelnut pesto; the poached shrimp in tomato curry or snapper tataki with apple matcha ponzu have also been knockouts. You should get the wine pairings, as the picks from the mostly European list are expert-level."

"This chic restaurant has the cutest backyard wine garden for guests to enjoy their meals. You can dine under the 500-year-old oak trees that offer shade throughout the day. At night the shimmering lights hanging throughout the wine garden creates the perfect atmosphere for a romantic date or evening catching up with friends and family!"

"Bouldin Creek’s best date night destination might have limited dining space, with only 34 seats, but the seasonal prix fixe selections and shabby...Read More"

"This gorgeous space is newer to the city but already a favorite with it’s stunning interior, expansive outdoor patio, live music, great happy hour, and wide range of cocktails, beer, and food options. It’s become a must stop for and often will have a wait on weekends. But no worries, even with a wait you can grab a beer and walk around!"

"This is not just a beer joint—it's more like a beer stadium. At 9,800 square feet, it feels like a permanent piece of Oktoberfest in Austin. The beers are made in full view, maintaining the building's original factory theme (in a former life, it was used to make airplane parts)."

"East Austin Hotel is a stylish boutique hotel on Austin’s Sixth Street, a hip and trendy area renowned for its independent coffee shops, bars, stores, and eateries. The hotel is a new-build and presents a clean, crisp image with a modern exterior and more traditional, quirky furnishings inside. The bedrooms at this chic hotel are inspired by the Danish mid-century and have a retro-chic, fun vibe that doesn’t take itself too seriously."

Aside from their good music and shows, they are loved for great service, well-mannered staff, and well-priced menu by their loyal customers. They also host different shows for famous musicians in town and always update their list of scheduled events even during this pandemic."

"Blues club Antone’s may be small, but it is known around the world and has hosted some of the genre’s finest artists, including Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and BB King. Gary Clark Jr now has part-ownership of the 5th Street club, and if you’re lucky, he will swing by to play a song or two with whoever is on stage."

"This grandaddy of Austin music was started in 1975 by the late Clifford Antone, with a focus on blues and Texan musicians. Antone’s has welcomed performers including B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ray Charles, along with local favourites such as Bob Schneider, Marcia Ball and The Fabulous Thunderbirds."

"You'll be stunned to learn this, but a lot of craft breweries make their customer approach way too complicated, like you're a 6-year-old they're over here explaining Inception to."

"East Austin Tucked back in an industrial-esque complex, Hops and Grain has made a huge impact on the east side. People love The One They Call Zoe, an American lager and the Greenhouse IPA, but Hops and Grain isn’t afraid to branch out, either; they’re currently experimenting with a mixed culture Saison program, and will do a limited release later this year. There’s also a San Marcos location in the offing!"

"Hops & Grain Brewing is an eco-conscious East Austin brewery that produces hoppy hometown heroes like The One They Call Zoe and A Pale Mosaic. Make yourself at home in the taproom and grab a bite to eat on the weekends from one of the rotating food trucks. Be sure to pick up a healthy dog treat before you leave — they're made from spent grains!"

"Using local ingredients in a completely sustainable environment, Hops and Grain is for the beer lover with a conscience. Their current canned beers include the Lupulin Rodeo IPA, Pellets & Powder IPA, River Beer Lager, and the Pale Mosaic IPA. Pre-ordering online for curbside pickup is available."

"The Cedar Park brewery features 11 beers on tap, including Lovely Day IPA and seasonal specials. The taproom is open daily with drink specials, occasional live music, and a rotating list of food trucks."

"The Austin Toy Museum is a non-profit museum suitable for the whole family – Mums and Dads will enjoy a nostalgic walk down memory lane as they show their children the very different toys that they used to play with. In addition to old favorites like Smurf and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figurines, there are several vintage video arcade games you can introduce your children to including Pac Man, Donkey Kong and many more – free to play with your admission ticket. Girls will be able to see what the original Barbie and Ken looked like (and how they were dressed back in the 60’s)."

"Why You’ve Got to Go: If you grew up loving action figures or if your kids are into them, this is the perfect place to bring them. You can take a walk down memory lane and explore vintage toys, old video games and more. What to Do: Simply let yourself go and have a great time playing vintage video games and admiring action figures along with your little ones."

"A fine place to ogle vintage toys, action figures, retro toys, classic toys, or console video games of childhoods past or present. Though seemingly targeting fanboys/girls, the museum is in fact focused on childhood education and also has a lot of hands-on activities, like vintage video games. View this post on Instagram"

"Kick off today with a trip to the most visited presidential library in the United States, the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum. You’re sure to be moved by the exhibit about the president’s life, and may well up with tears when you walk into the JFK assassination exhibit, or feel a sense of pride at seeing the pen LBJ used in signing the Civil Rights Act. Follow up the LBJ experience with lunch at Rudy’s Country Store and BBQ for some smoky beef brisket. If it’s not over 100 degrees, make your way to Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, which is close by."

"The official presidential library of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the museum offers a balanced view of this colorful Texan. Through exhibits, short films and audio recordings, the museum tells the story of the struggle to pass the Civil Rights Act as well as Johnson’s failed efforts to end the Vietnam War. The Social Justice Gallery covers Johnson’s lesser-known efforts to combat poverty as well as important legislation supporting Medicare, public broadcasting and consumer protection."

"The Mexic-Arte experience begins before you walk in the door, with its north wall lined with murals that celebrate Latino figures and iconography. That mission to showcase traditional and contemporary Mexican and Latino art and culture continues inside the historic building, with wooden planked floors that squeak pleasingly underfoot. Mexic-Arte's curators comfortably straddle a commitment to old and new, with an annual exhibition devoted to emerging talent and an all-inclusive back gallery space devoted to community projects."

"The western downtown truck serves up really great, simple lunchtime tacos and burritos. The Tejana with carne asada is a good bet. View this post on Instagram"

"It’s an easy choice for naan & mango lasi when you’re looking for something sweet and salty. Only place on Rainey Street where you can get coconut chicken and goat curry."
