The Place
Austin, United States
City introduction
Live music, BBQ smoke and Texas hill country. Austin is the self-styled Live Music Capital of the World — honky-tonks on Sixth Street, outlaw country heritage, and festival season that peaks with SXSW and ACL. Between sets: brisket legends, swimming holes, bat flights under the Congress bridge, and hill-country wineries.
