South Lamar · This area is the up-and-coming hot spot to eat, live, work, and play.  Uchi is truly a destination restaurant, offering fresh Japanese food and the coolest ambiance in town.  The Saxon Pub offers live rock, country and blues seven nights a week, attracting some of the best singers and songwriters.  The Alamo Drafthouse is the only real way to have dinner and a movie at once.  Ask for a bucket of Shiner or a dessert of Amy’s ice cream to savor a truly Austin moment.
