Two Nights in Austin - What to do?

Does Trudy's still limit the amount of margs one person can get? I had two before ACL one year and I was feeling pretty good. I've heard some people do the Trudy's challenge and hit up all of them for one each. Sounds like a bad next morning.
 
I know that Chuy's will only let you have two of their Texas Margaritas. They're (good) bad news.
 
Tentative plan is to hit Contigo and Foreign & Domestic one night since they're close to each other, and Swift's Attic the next. May throw in some late night eats depending on what I get into while there.

Got your message. I'm actually in chuck town this weekend for the PGA. I will reply once I'm back home.
 
I was there briefly. Downtown is beautiful. Girls are hot.
 
Trudy's is great.

If you have the time, I think it is worth your time to hit up the Saltlick. Although standing in line at Franklins will be well worth your time for BBQ also.

Barton Springs is a must, especially in August
 
I second Rainey Street. Several good bars there (most by the same ownership, interestingly), and a new one just opened up in the last couple weeks. It's mostly a 25-35 crowd around there, but sometimes I'll see groups of 40+ folks hanging out too. Great little outdoor bars that everyone can be comfortable at. Lustre Pearl is a favorite (fantastic tacos in back), and Clive is a little farther down the street but also a great little bar with lots of outdoor seating. Lustre Pearl and Clive are, in theory, "brother" and "sister" bars. You'll definitely get that feel if you go to both.

I like Town Lake as well. You can rent bikes nearby at a number of places, then bike around the lake and stop whenever you see something cool. Add Barton Springs into the loop too and take a dip. Or, if you have time, you can make it 25 miles west of the city and go to a real kickass springs - Hamilton Pool.

I've only lived in Austin about 10 weeks, but that's the stuff I've done and enjoyed. I don't get a chance to eat out much, but I did get Franklin's BBQ while I was here and it was top notch. You have to get there early and wait in line, though.

Dude when did you move to Austin?

Ill give you a call next time I am in town
 
Also I havent been there in a while, but I used to love Threadgills for live music and a chicken fried steak
