Your A-List: Best Live Music Venue
In the Live Music Capital of the World, there may be dozens of excellent venues, but only one can be named the winner of the Your A-List poll for Best Live Music Venue. This year, that honor goes to Stubb’s, which took home 38 percent of the vote.
The outdoor ampitheater with the elevated slope sitting alongside Waller Creek has become quintessentially ‘Austin’ and for a dozen years has anchored the Red River music scene. How many other cities boast a venue where you can see anyone from The Roots to Wilco just after eating a nice barbecue dinner? Not many, I would imagine.
Located at 801 Red River St., the venerable bbq joint first opened in Lubbock before making the wise trip south, where it is equally known for its music as it is for its food, with both the outdoor stage and the club stage inside offering something to suit anyone’s musical tastes. If you really wanna get a taste for both the live music and the food, head over on Sunday for the Gospel Brunch.
