Likely Texas' best known street, the seven blocks of 6th Street between Congress and IH-35 are certainly Austin's entertainment center. With a little help from its many like-minded sister streets, 6th Street is the heart of Austin's live entertainment scene and the capital of third coast music.

Once called Pecan Street, many of the historic buildings along East 6th Street date back to the 1800s and early 1900s. Interspersed with the numerous bars are tattoo parlors, casual cafes, upscale restaurants, and the elegant Driskill Hotel. Waller Creek passes through the tree-lined 700 block just off the highway.
