About The Local Note

Austin is more than the places everybody already knows.

The Local Note is about finding the bars, restaurants, music, shops, people and places that give Austin its personality.

We're here for the neighborhood joint you've driven past a hundred times. The dive bar with a story. The band playing a room you've never been to. The old Austin institution still hanging on—and the new local business doing something worth noticing.

This isn't a directory of everything in Austin. It's a collection of things we think are worth knowing.

Take Note. Stay Local.
