After a great dinner it was time to check out 6th Street Austin Texas @ night. The only problem is that it was a Sunday Night, so it was pretty quiet. 6th Street still has a few places to have a drink and hear some good music.
First a few pics of Congress Ave near my hotel. Love the retro signage.

Austin Land & Cattle is another haunt for local Austinites, known for its steaks which it has been serving since 1993. Considering I had been in Texas for over a week and I had not had a steak as yet. Time to remedy that.
This would also be my last time, this trip, with my friends Jane and James, so a special night.
Apologies for the poor photos, not sure what I was doing wrong with my camera in the restaurant, probably forgot to check the settings, my bad!

After a great breakfast at Cisco’s I needed a walk, Downtown Austin Texas was waiting for me to get lost in it. Although, actually getting lost in Downtown Austin would be pretty difficult as the place is well laid out, just like my hometown of Adelaide, South Australia.
One of the great traits of Austin is the mix of the old and the new architecture with a dose of “Austin Weird”.

Cisco’s Restaurant Bakery is a local Austin favourite and one of Jane’s and James’. Cisco’s serves Mexican Food and is open all day and is a good spot for breakfast
Where do you go to grab a bite after a long day of wine tasting? Where ever the driver, in this case James, wants to go. The Shoal Creek Saloon in Austin Texas was his choice. My desire to try Crawfish might have influenced James’ choice of the Shoal Creek Saloon as it is apparently one of the best places in Austin to get a “basket” of Crawfish.
Shoal Creek Saloon sits on the bank of Austin’s infamous Shoal Creek. Owned by Ray Canfield for over 23 years, the Saloon has a long history of being the favored watering hole of politicos, lobbyists, Austin’s “Weird” and sports fans of all persuasions.
The Louisiana Cuisine is complimented by the likes of scrumptious Rib Eye Steaks, the biggest Smoked Pork Chop in Texas, and the extra spicy Reynaldo Burger.
Known as the Austin Home of “New Orleans Saints Fans” there are 31 colored TV’s, and a full length shuffleboard table you can play for free.
So come and sit Creekside on the best covered, outdoor patio in town and enjoy a truly
“Austintacious Dining Experience!”
The final winery on our tour of the Texas Hill Country was Duchman Family Winery in Driftwood Texas, USA. This was by far the most commercial winery that we visited, home to what looked like a nice Italian Restaurant, Trattoria Lisina, from the outside, and a number of function areas as well as large, well organised, tasting room.
You can tell it was late in the day due to the lack of photos 🙂 For more
