The quieter side of the popular 6th Street...there are great dining and bar options here for those who want to avoid the rowdiness. You will find many bars and restaurants with patio seating.

Food scene

Open Friday-Sunday, JNL is located in East Austin and is my personal favorite BBQ in Texas. The owner has gained his experience and repertoire from cooking over 110,000 briskets at the popular Franklin's BBQ. While I personally think Austin has many "good" dining options, I have not had any "outstanding" except for JNL. Additionally, you can grab a beer or coffee on the same property at the Buzz Mill

Personally in my top 4 favorite Ramen spots that I've been to (and I have lived in Japan for 3 years). I prefer Ramen with some/mild "American-ized" aspects, and this place delivers. You may have to book a reservation
