Picture, everyone in boots, because it’s Texas. Everyone with a beer in their hand. And most importantly, everyone in the color orange. Tailgating is so important to game day. You are going to want to bring a few things with you.

One of the best parts about the University of Texas is its location. Being in downtown Austin has so many perks, including its proximity to incredible bars, restaurants, things to do, coffee shops, and more! We love when we don’t even have to hop in a car to go somewhere, so we have picked out some of our favorite walkable bars near UT.
Perfect for a pregame before the big game!
