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

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...
