Austin, TX - 6th Street Late Night Walk - June 2024

Walking down Austin's notorious night life district, Dirty Sixth. Every Friday and Saturday night, a stretch of East 6th Street in downtown Austin between Congress Avenue and I-35 is closed to car traffic allowing people to freely hop between countless bars, clubs, music venues, and food trucks. It is chaotic. It is overwhelming. It lives up to its name

Filmed Saturday (Friday night), June 15, 2024

The hippies are all dead or gone.
Nothing left but squares and alcohol.
Everything is so contrived, trying hard to be hip.

I agree as a native Texan for 57 years it’s always been TRASH HONEY

Wouldnt it be totally insane if this was a monday night

I know it's got to be 84* & 60% humidity. I see no one soaked though. Hmm. Mucher better scene than San Antonio. I stay out of Downtown SA. Super stoked to see people out having a good time.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Austin next year. Any recommendations regarding 6th street and surrounding areas?

[kimsinclair]

What about weeknights--is there any action at all on a Thurs night?

[donperry]

SEAMS LIKE A LOT OF MEN JUST STANDING AROUND LOOKING

[gybe]

Damn, that's a lotta cops for one tiny neighborhood (from Montreal Canada here so it's surprising to me). Are they there every night?

[jameshenry]

They say Keep Austin Weird, I Think they Achieved that, I used to Like it there .Not Any MORE.

[TheOneJPtv]

Love it when new Clubs open up. I need to check out The Venue. looks like an open roof style like Fat Tuesdays back in the day.

[jsurfslammer]

We went there every New Years Eve not anymore 😵

[gmangoodtime]

If I hear Tucanes de tijuana music, then I know where to get perico😵‍💫😵lol. On 6th street

[pappybadwords]

What was the pizza place called. Death metal pizza. Not sure if it's still there.

[crashdaddy]

Take a little stroll on the other side of those buildings and you'll see a whole different scene.

This is a very good video... I subscribed. I like walk throughs and Real stuff... not just corporate promo stuff. I can not get myself to make the journey to walk this street. It just as no appeal to me. Why do so many people look like they are NOT having fun? For College Age kids I can see the Appeal on a weekend night but for most people it just seems like a lot of effort to get some overpriced food and listen to a cover band. These are my opinions... and I'll just leave it at that. Gonna go watch some of your other stuff now. Thx

This is a great video!
Shows the diversity of Texas/Austin!
Little bit of a goth scene there.. neato!
and then you feel transported to Mexico! Can eat a burrito!
Then we teleport to some cute rave looking rainbow happy place? Reminds me of one of my old sims games where everything was cute and colourful.
