MUSIC

Spots to see live music on South Congress
The very definition of an Austin standby. Ego's is one of, if not the best karaoke bar in town. Considering its location the drink prices are unreasonably reasonable, and with a friendly staff and dive-y atmosphere it's the perfect place to engage your inner-rock star.

It's hard to imagine South Congress without the Continental Club there. For decades it's been the place to go to for down-home, authentic music. From the ever-present Dale Watson and his Lonestars to a weekly roster of local, regional and touring artists, Continental Club is one of the things that makes South Congress a destination for late-night entertainment.

The fact that C-Boys is owned by the same great people that operate the Continental is just one of this neighborhood bar's attractive qualities. Aside from that, cheap drinks, good music, and most curiously, a Japanese-American bar upstairs. If you've never been, you really ought to.

This may be the only seafood joint that’s offering salsa verde as a sauce for their fresh catches, which is awesome. Perla's outdoor patio is a great spot to relax, and the menu offers fresh fish and oysters flown in daily from both coasts, coupled with delicious coastal cocktails.

People in Austin love their Botticelli’s, and for great reason. Most people only need one visit to be life-long fans of this Italian joint. These chefs are delivering consistently rich foods with just the right amount of creativity to keep things interesting. For example, try the Ravioli filled with butternut squash or the fennel and espresso-rubbed NY strip.

Oh, Home Slice, how we love you. Home Slice has been serving NY style pizza to the Austin community for probably 100 years (rough estimate). We’ve taken a few of our New Yorker friends here and they’ve all given it the NY seal of pie approval. But don’t take our word for it, go taste test it for yourself!

No area is complete without a great sushi joint! Lucky Robot is exactly that place and then some. Keep it simple with a karaage chicken taco or expand your taste bud horizons and order the seaweed salad with octopus. Really, the options are endless. Just don't forget a pitcher of the dangerously-good sake punch.
