One of the first streets surveyed in Austin, Sixth Street was originally known as Pecan Street. During the day, shops, restaurants and historic buildings are the main attraction, but by night, the street becomes festive with live music, shows and special events. On Friday and Saturday evenings and nights, the blocks are generally closed to automobile traffic for an all-out street party. Stop by for a beer or a show, or just enjoy watching the eclectic nightlife of Austin.

We came here during the day as we are not drinkers and this is definitely a street that comes alive in the nighttime. We still enjoyed being tourists and going to the oddities museum and visiting the souvenir shops. The street has an old timey feel and the architecture is cool.
MoreWe had a large group in Texas to celebrate a milestone birthday, We started early in afternoon, Lots of different bars & music to go to. Music was awesome that we saw. E It sure gets crowded at night but was a lot of fun drinking and dancing the night away .
MoreIf you like the smell of piss beer and vomit while hearing ear splitting music then you're going to love Austin's 6th Street..
MoreThis is an area you need to see but just know that there are a lot of homeless, some aren't so nice or have issues and many of the bars are rundown from the outside. Worth a walk through and maybe to pop in and out of some places but seems like everyone has graduated over to Rainey Street. I was here 20+ years ago and it definitely wasn't like this.
MoreGreat nightlife and club hopping scene! Food is awesome during the day. Definitely a place to have a Uber on standby. Don't drink and drive✌
