This is definitely the best place in Austin to go for adult gifts or gag gifts. The store is HUGE and pretty well lai d out. It's bright and well organized. Prices vary a lot, but you can find items for less than $20 (or more than $200) so even if you're on a budget it's a great place to go. Staff has always been friendly but not over-bearing, and I've never felt weirded out by the other customers.
The parking lot IS a little creepy at night because the surrounding trees, but I wouldn't let that deter you. Just make sure you're at the right place. The turn in can be a little easy to miss. One time I accidentally went to a Video store a little south (but on the same access road) and I was THOROUGHLY creeped out and disappointed. Make sure you're at the right store! :]
Pros: HUGE selection, open 24/7

All the Alamo Drafthouse location have their own personality. When the Lamar location was being built, we "South Folk" couldn't wait to see what this one would be like.
When it opened, it was no disappointment. They have just as many special events as their downtown or North locations and their staff is just as attentive.
My only (and very minor) complaint about the Lamar location is that it needs more waiting seats outside. Some shows get so full that you need to be there at least an hour early to get a good seat. However, with no seats in sight, it can be a pain to sit on the floor.
However, that's a very minor deal once you get inside. The food is outstanding in this location. Always fast and warm, I've always opted for the dinner & movie combo when I go to the Alamo. Their burgers are juicy and quite good. They're definitely in my top 5 for Austin.
And where else can you get a beer while watching your movie? I mean, other than home.
If you've got the choice between Alamo Drafthouse and your regular multi-plex, PLEASE choose Alamo. You'll get a far better experience, better food (who needs $7 popcorn?) and can support a locally owned business.

My first experience with the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema was one that would have a lasting effect on me and was something that I will never forget.
I had been hired by Scion to promote the Scion xPress Fest being held at the Drafthouse. I had never been to nor even heard of the Drafthouse but I was very pleased with what I found.
The staff was incredibly nice and very easy to work with, they went out of their way to accommodate us and take care of us. The theater itself was amazing, a good size screen 40', great projection and the setup can't be beat. Unless a giant sits in front of you you won't have to worry about your view being blocked. There are slim tables in front of you and they serve some great beers and food while you are watching your films.
The food is good and not average in anyway, prices are pretty decent, but it is smarter to get a beer than a $3.50 Soda.
We only had one hiccup when the server dropped the credit card and couldn't find it. We found it after a quick search and the server refused to let us pay and even gave us a bunch of free tickets to future shows.
At the end of the night I was thrilled to find Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez in the lobby, after a short talk I joined them for a middle of the night screening of Carrie back in the theater. My one night at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema was something I won't soon forget and it certainly won't be my last.

Antone's is one of the few places in Austin you can still find great Jazz. It's been around for years and hasn't changed much. The place is still small and with a friendly atmosphere. They don't carry any Rock, Country and western, Rap or New age bands, just Jazz, blues, bluegrass music and some local Austin bands. If you've never been in here, you have to go at least once. It's a great Austin Traditional store!

If you are looking for a place this summer to get out of the hot sun then this is a a great place to take your children. I have not been there in a while but they use to always change some of their exhibits so the children will always see something new when they go. We have had the opporutnity to attend several parties at this museum and my children had a lot of fun. However, the parking situation is horrible, especially on weekends. My children have always had a great time when going to the museum. The staff have always been friendly and the musuem itself is very inviting for children.

Ok, the parking, or lack off is terrible. But the museum it's self is pretty amazing. My sons love this place, and they have been coming here for years. It can get a little crowded on the weekends, so I tend to avoid the crowd. They have baby/toddler only days where they restrict the museum to childrne under 3. If you call ahead they will warn you about any large groups scheduled to come. They also have some of the best day camos in town.
Pros: always different exhibits
Cons: parking, crowds
