Take a tour of the winery and sample one or two! ;) Kim McPherson's Sangiovese is my fav Texas wine. Thursdays are also patio night! Enjoy a glass of wine and live music on the patio if you happen to be in town on a Thurs.

Best movie theater in the nation. Period. Of course, after living in Austin for over 10 years I'm kind of biased. ;) If you don't have an Alamo Drafthouse where you're from you MUST go experience the Drafthouse.
