Things to Do in Austin in December

The Roosevelt Room

The Roosevelt Room
The Roosevelt Room is known for its extensive cocktail menu, but that might be selling it a little short. Along with lists of original creations and twists on old classics, much of the menu organizes cocktails by era, from pre-1880s to modern classics, all made with top-shelf ingredients. You can start with a Manhattan and end with an Oaxaca Old Fashioned. Essentially, it's alcohol-based time travel.

Thicket Food Park

Thicket Food Park
Located in South Austin, the Thicket Food Park is one of the city's many excellent food truck lots. But what sets Thicket's Food Park apart from the competition is what makes this tree-lined spot quintessentially Austin, the live concerts.
