C-Boy's Heart & Soul

C-Boy's Heart & Soul

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.

Sam's Town Point

Sam's Town Point

South Brodie • $

This is what a real-deal dive bar looks like: neon beer signs, a spinning dance floor that's always packed, and the kind of unpretentious South Austin energy that's nearly extinct.

The Stay Put

The Stay Put

Downtown Austin • $

Your Houston Texans headquarters on Rainey Street, with shady outdoor hangouts, craft brews, and a crowd that actually cares about the game. Come for the football, stay for the laid-back beer garden energy.

Frequently asked questions

How are these pubs in Austin chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

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.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

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.
