Street Smarts: How Well Do You Know Your Streets?
East 5th & 6th Streets
Movin’ & Groovin’
On East 5th and 6th streets, opportunities for shopping and indulging in self-care are bountiful. It’s an ideal area to take an afternoon off work and go out on a solo date. Grab a new pair of sneakers at Stax and a fresh haircut at 18 | 8 Salon, or pop into Prisma Vintage to pick up a new-to-you statement piece and then skip across the road to Practice Yoga for a high-quality donation-based yoga experience.
After the sun sets, epic nights out listening to live music, sipping fine wine, and dining up and down the road lie in wait. This is where bachelor and bachelorette parties should be going to take over Austin nightlife, but thank goodness they haven’t quite found this oasis yet. East 5th and 6th area is the place to go dancing (line or otherwise). The White Horse is the go-to for those looking to don their cowboy boots, while Hotel Vegas is the place where the DIY, indie, and punk scenes flourish. No matter your style, this block doesn’t discriminate; it’s multifaceted and vibrant, with something to offer anyone who walks its
street day or night.
