The Velveeta Room
Lucille
Cyndy Stewart: Lucille is a charming renovated 1920’s bar in Austin’s Rainey Street district. The décor is a departure from the rest of Rainey bars. Lucille’s sexy lighting, chandeliers and atmosphere are what bring you in but the drinks and friendly staff are what will keep you in. Drinks are exquisite made with fresh fruits and ingredients and local handcrafted liquors. If you want to experience a chill day or evening come to our outdoor patio bar and hang out on our hammocks.

Austin City Hall
Cyndy Stewart: Reflecting Austin’s natural beauty, Austin City Hall is a unique landmark gateway to Austin City government. The building and plaza serve as a gathering place for public discourse and community collaboration with informality, friendliness, environmental sensitivity and innovative technology. Built of Texas limestone and sitting on the site of a once-raucous 19th Century bordello district, Austin’s copper-clad City Hall is as unique as the community it serves.
