November 5 at 8pm
29th Street Ballroom · North University • $50
The Kilans take over 29th Street Ballroom, a cozy Austin favorite where the drinks are generous, the food trucks roll up outside, and yes, there's a photo booth built into the wall.
East Austin
A scrappy throwback to old Austin, the Vortex pairs boundary-pushing theater with a well-made, reasonably priced bar. Burlesque, experimental shows, and a patio full of regulars keep the weird flag flying.
Central East Austin • $$
Wander a historic East Austin house where every room holds a different genre and a new corner to curl up in. Grab a glass of wine and let the shelves lead you somewhere unexpected.
Downtown Austin
Chef Philip Speer calls it "business casual bar fare," and Nobody's Business delivers: thick, juicy smash burgers on housemade buns with beef tallow fries for backup.
MLK
Czech pastries meet Texas craft beer at this Webberville food truck park hangout. Kerlaches stuffs kolaches sweet and savory, pours house brews, and spreads out across a big shady backyard made for lingering.
Bouldin Creek • $$
An old-school South Congress juke joint where soul, blues, and funk play seven nights a week. Dim red lights, a cozy dance floor, and a patio with vintage shuffleboard seal the deal.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
