The beating heart of Austin's live music scene, with dozens of bars and venues packed onto a few blocks where live bands play every night of the week. The 'Dirty Sixth' stretch is rowdier and more touristy, but the broader district including the Rainey Street and East Sixth corridors offers something for everyone. This is where Austin's 'Live Music Capital of the World' claim is most viscerally felt. Go on a Tuesday or Wednesday for a more local crowd and easier entry into the best spots.
