Fun evening...lots of young folks...good music...Ester Follies is a must. Fourth St. has good music also...parking can be difficult some times, other wise it is worth a evening spent on Sixth Street!

its an eclectic mix of places to check out. there's the dirty 6th and there's the not-so-dirty one, pick your poison. if you need a place to eat, try Casino el Camino, great green chili and cheese fries and one of the best hamburgers Austin has to offer

very good music venues if you don't mind lots of young drinkers. Loud but we felt safe in a group. Some eating spots available too. A few homeless people on the streets but we had no problems with them.

6th Street is all about partying and drinking but we prefer to hang out on 4th and 5th streets because we are a bit past the "club scene" years. That said, we love The Belmont which is on 6th Street and it's also a great place to keep in tough with the start-up world in Austin.

Take Bourbon St, and add live music on every corner, thats 6th street! But you cant really live the experience unless you start on Dirty 6!

This is most definitely a party experience! Those that rated it as "awful" simply don't know how to have a good time or didn't know where to go. If you like good street food, live music and cheap drinks then this is the place. Basically a huge part of 6th street is closed off and the bars are opened. The... More

Nothing beats Sixth Street when you're spending time in Austin. There is no shortage of great venues for food, drinks, and music! It can get a bit on the grunge side, but that's also a home-grown part of Austin. Take a stroll up towards the Lamar intersection... Whole Foods flagship store in on the 5th / 6th and Lamar corner;... More
