For a fabulous collection of modern art, this is one of the best galleries in the city.

 Country, dancing, classic |
1600 West Fifth St Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 478 0336 |
Come enjoy country western music in a railroad relic. This venue, although slightly outside of downtown, provides an excellent opportunity to dance and watch older country western pros strut their stuff. The old Texas feel and the relaxing atmosphere make a great team with cold beer and great music. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Johnny Cash Bar |
1621 West 5th Street Austin, TX 78703 United States +1 512 472 6326 http://www.themeaneyedcat.com/ |
If city parking is like rain on your downtown drinking parade, look no further than the Mean Eyed Cat on West 5th Street. The one-room, no-cover dive bar has an urban feel, but boasts a parking lot that would put Costco to shame. Built to honor the late great Johnny Cash, the Mean Eyed Cat has a crowded back patio and plenty of man-in-black collectibles. The Mean Eyed stage, featuring live music almost every night of the week, is popular with patrons of all ages. Order a shot at the bar to go down, down, down into a burning ring of fire.
