Have you always wanted to enjoy a cold beer at the movies? You can here. In fact, you will find a nice selection of both domestic and imported beers, as well as wines and champagnes. The libations help you wash down the tasty pizzas, chicken wings or cheese- and salsa-smothered nachos as you take in a flick. Children at least 6 years of age can accompany their parents; patrons must ordinarily be at least 18 to attend on their own. The theater features mostly independent films. See website for showtimes, ticketing info, menus, special event calendar, merchandise and more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Laser tag—high tech hide & seek for ages seven to 97—is better here, Texas' largest laser tag arena, where a maze-like collection of towers, ramps and bridges (up to three floors high), as well as lights, sounds, music and fog, create the ultimate laser tag experience. Strap on the lightweight vest and arm yourself with a futuristic phaser. Now think Star Wars. See their website for further information. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Buy it fresh off the farm |

This fully functional organic farm has won many awards for its urban farming techniques. Purchase fantastic fresh vegetables on Wednesday and Saturday mornings (9am-2pm). Or, let your kids experience real farm life right in the heart of the city—animals and tractors are some of the biggest attractions for the little ones on market day. While shopping for produce, take a peek at the historic farmhouse, noted as one of the oldest existing buildings in Austin (built in 1838). Review © 2007, Wcities |
