The Rainey Street Historic District is a street of historic homes, many of the bungalow style, in downtown Austin, Texas. Old bungalows have been fixed up and turned into bars and cocktail lounges with ample backyards and porches. Rainey Street includes 31 buildings built before 1934, giving the neighborhood a historic character relative to other areas of the city. Tourist in Austin often head straight to Sixth Street, with its jammed-together nightclubs, restaurants and bars advertising drink specials and Jell-O shots. But local Austinites know that some of the city’s best bars are nowhere near that famous strip. #casual #livemusic
