Scooter’s 1563rd bar, first visited in 2022.

Stagger Lee, Austin

We had decided to get out of this neighborhood and walk back toward out hotel, but then we staggered across a spot that seemed a little calmer and more our speed. And I wish we’d taken some time to explore because I found out later that here were other cool areas in here besides the main bar where we sat.

I had a Disco in the Panic Room (IPA) by Meanwhile Brewing, a brewery we had meant to visit right after Pinthouse but completely forgot to do so.

Scooter’s 1562nd bar, first visited in 2022.

Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden, Austin

This place had come with so many recommendations, so we decided to head over here next.

And in better circumstances, we probably would have loved it.

Though I was beginning to feel better, my stomach was still too upset for me to order any sausages. My friend was beginning to get a headache. There was live music outside that was crazy loud, and instead of the chill environment Rainey Street had been sold to us as, it was completely overrun with people and far crazier than East 6th had been for us so far.

Plus so… many… college kids.

Nonetheless, I accomplished what I came here to do. I had the highly-regarded and recommended Pecan Porter by 512 Brewing, the only place I had found it mentioned in an online menu that we were going to be able to get to on this trip. I also had a Black Masses (imperial coffee stout) by Brash Brewing.
