South Congress is a vibrant neighborhood just south of Lady Bird Lake with some of the city's best restaurants, shopping and bars. It is also home to the famous I Love You So Much and Greetings From Austin wall murals. The neighborhood is a favorite among locals and visitors alike and is a great place to hang and get a true-sense of what Austin is all about!
For a fun bachelorette party afternoon outing, head to South Congress Avenue for window-shopping at the quirky boutiques. When you're ready for a pick-me-up, enjoy a cocktail at Hotel San Jose's adorable courtyard lounge, then head to dinner at Guero's for classic tex-mex and margaritas. Wrap up the evening with a night cap and live show at Austin's famous Continental Club!
