Tailgating in the Texas heat is serious business
Thank goodness for tailgating! You wouldn’t really know it’s fall in Austin without hordes of burnt-orange-clad revelers crowding the streets of campus. Three of my top picks (two are recurring, one is this weekend only):
La Condesa’s awesome tailgate
17th & Congress from 12 pm – 6 pm for all home games
FREE Grilled Mexican Street Corn and FREE Lone Star beer. Put it on your list, and make sure you stop by.
Blackout Breakfast Club at J. Black’s (plus bus!)
J. Black’s at 710-B W. 6th Street / Doors Open at 10am all home games + Texas-OU
Why blackout? The bar blacks out the windows facing West 6th–to better see the TV, duh! Bloody marys, buckets of beer, and more are included on the game day menu, along with food like Kobe Beef Nachos, Pulled Pork Frito Pie, brunch-y faves like Breakfast Pizza, Shrimp and Grits, and the Open Face Egg Sandwich.
Maybe the best part? Complimentary shuttle bus that drives right into the heart of the tailgating area. The J. BLACK’S shuttle is outfitted with a symbolic black longhorn on the hood, a plush interior, a rocking sound system and music to keep the party going, all courtesy of Blackhorn Buses. “Park and Ride” never felt so great on a Saturday morning!
We aren’t hurting for tailgate options in Austin.
AYC & YMBL Tailgate 2010 (this weekend only)
Saturday, September 25th @ 11:30am / SW Corner of 17th & Congress Ave.- Look for the big white school bus!
Flat screen to watch football, music, tons of bbq and plenty of drinks. Tix $15 — buy online ahead of time, cash only at the door.
Tailgate sponsors: Brown Distributing, Dripping Springs Vodka, Graham’s Texas Tea, Paula’s Texas Orange, Republic Tequila, and Treaty Oak Rum.
