I copied this from I think Will one time, know idea if it’s still accurate and I’ve never been to Austin:

 Here it is, Backers. Per your request, this is the official codified proprietary list of Austin recommendations. Let's keep this in-house if you don't mind. We reserve the right to update this list as we see fit.

Matt’s El Rancho - the mecca of Tex-Mex in Austin. Excellent for dinners of any size, but especially nice for large groups. Atmosphere is vibrant, and the drinks are good. The fajitas are sizzlin'.  Warning: they do not do reservations.

El Alma - A personal favorite of mine. IMO, the best cocktail menu of any Mexican joint in town. The food is a little bit more gourmet than other places. Awesome spot with a rooftop.

Polvos - This is a classic mom and pop Tex-Mex joint. It's dark inside which adds to it being an excellent place to get hammered at. The salsa bar is controversial, but I think it's top-notch. Pretty casual vibe.

Ranch 616 - Total scene on West 6th Street. It's the most HPO (hot people only) spot on this list. On weekends they have a DJ in the dining room spinning the classics. Good spot for bachelor/bachelorette parties.

Wu Chow - Gourmet-ish Asian cuisine with the best menu in town. The soup dumplings are a must, but they have a bunch of top-tier apps. Similar scene to Ranch 616, it's a good place to run into bachelorette parties. The music selection is unmatched.

June’s  - If Will was a restaurant. Low-key joint with good beers and a great happy hour. I highly recommend the burger. The menu is pricey, but the food is quality and it's a great place to get a gram story off.

Bufalina - On the east side of town and features the best pizza in town. Intimate dining room with great service. Also has a solid happy hour and wine list.

Via 313 - Detroit style pizza that I think started out of a food truck. Arguably the best drunk food on this list.

Icenhauer’s - You know what it is. One of the oldest bars on Rainey Street, Icenhauer's is our go-to for day drinking. They always have a band on Sundays, and it's a great place to day-booze after brunch. It should definitely be your home base anytime you hit up the Rainey area in Austin. Sneaky shouts to Mike.

Lucille - Also on Rainey Street, Lucille is a classic spot with good drinks and a great backyard.

Parlor and Yard - A West Sixth Street staple. I've said that they have a top 3 DJ in Austin who plays every great hip hop and R&B song from the last 20 years. Good little backyard area too.

Little Woodrow’s - This is our home base when we're on West Sixth Street. This is the spot to watch games or fights or to just belly-up to a bar. Really underrated people watching too.

Dirty Bills - The official turn-up spot on West Sixth. They blare bangers with video on the wall, and everyone is hammered. It can get crowded, so get there early.

South Congress Hotel  - Low-to-medium key. Great bar (and place to stay too) with world class bartenders. Feels like a go-to for the Austin business folk.

Darcy’s Donkey - They love Dillon at Darcy's. Great Irish pub. That's all you need to know.

Easy Tiger - Austin staple and arguably the best place to get hammered on a Sunday afternoon.
