Pop-up parties throbbing with industry types are well and good but go mingle with the locals to get a true taste of that notorious Southern hospitality... if you're picking up what we're putting down...

• Opened in 1957 as a private supper club, this "Grandaddy" is the crown jewel for Austin's reputation as the live music capital of the world. It's also thought to be the first venue to sell liquor by the drink in Travis County. In the '60s it was turned into Austin's first burlesque club but these days is strictly rock 'n roll, and on any given Wednesday night you can catch Austin roots legends like James McMurtry and Jon Dee Graham, just saunter up to play.
