There are several bars on 6th St. and it is like people are being bar flies, going from one bar to another. There are people hanging out everywhere, even on the sidewalks and on the street. Most of the bars have live bands. It is kind of like a mini New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

this scene can get pretty crazy, but it is a must-see. this is a strip lined with every kind of bar, club and lounge imaginable, each with their own personality. so you have a really diverse groups all mingling in the street.

This is where Austin parties. Blues, metal, reggae, alternative and even country are among the musical appetites sated on Austin's answer to Bourbon Street. Every night, the street and its bars, pubs and nightclubs teem with students, slackers, conventioneers and tourists, carousing for a good time. Restaurants from the Hard Rock Cafe to steak houses and bistros ensure that the more corporeal appetites aren't ignored. Sixth Street is the place to go for a night on the town. Located within walking distance or a very short taxi ride from most of the hotels, you can party "till the cows come home" (no, most of us don't really talk like that).
