open rafters, screened windows, benches
chiseled with carvings-it's like summer
camp for country-music or Americana
lovers. The front bar is the essence of sim-
plicity-a few bottled beers chilled for
reasonable prices. The bands are as time-
tempered and real as the surroundings,
performing on the low stage or directly
on the smooth dance floor for multigen-
erational families of vacationers.
12. HOLE IN THE WALL
2538 Guadalupe St., 512/477-4747;

You'd better love the band. At this aptly
named West Campus watering hole near
UT, the musicians land right in your lap,
as tiny tables and chairs hover around
the window-backed stage. Noisy fans
don't mind. A few regulars hang out at
the short, well-stocked bar, while refugees
play billiards in the back room (virtual-
ly indistinguishable from the front room).
Still others loiter on the sidewalk or in the
alley-it's a 360-degree dive experience.
13. LONGBRANCH INN
1133 E. 11th St., 512/472-5477;

When a historically black club in the
city's black entertainment district comes
under white management and becomes
one of the coolest, least pretentious
spots in town for Anglos and African-
Americans to hang out, a bit of psychicdislocation is inevitable. That feeling
dissipates when customers rollick to an
R&B band while sipping some of the
best-prepared cocktails in town. The
trapezoidal shape of the room and the
rouged walls help define this classic
reclassified.
14. LUCKY LOUNGE
209 W. Fifth St., 512/479-7700;
www. theluckylounge. com
This undervalued, very modern music
venue offers a variety of listening experi-
ences. You can sit in the theater-lounge
seats near the raised stage or stand far-
ther off down the long bar or, best of all,
lean on the railings of the high tier, sur-
veying the efficient bar staff. The sparkly
club logo silhouettes onstage bands, from
rock veterans to wannabes. Music-haters
can gather upstairs or near the Ware-
house District door, because amplifica-
tion is rarely obnoxious.
15. ONE WORLD THEATRE
7701 Bee Cave Rd., 512/329-6753;
www.oneworldtheatre.org
East of Malibu or the Catalina Islands,
there's nothing quite like this Tuscan-style
palazzo perched on a ledge above the
Barton Creek basin. Loose clothes, yoga
smiles, and pretty, pretty people flock for
top-rated jazz, classical, and world music,
and other acts in this cozy setting. Snug-
gling close to the stage is not always best;ARCADE RESTAURANT
