Doc's Motorworks
1123 S. Congress
512-448-9181
Full bar, and over 30 beers on tap in a laid-back atmosphere. Has a great patio to enjoy the warm weather. Food also served. Tuesdays is a great night at Doc's where all Texas beers are $2.50/pint or $9/pitcher. Tuesdays is also "gringo bingo" night - traditional bingo but with a Tex-Mex twist.
Jo's Coffee
1300 S. Congress Ave
512.444.3800
Hip coffee spot right on South Congress, all outdoors. You can often find bands playing on the patio right off the street.

Alcohol
Almost all of the restaurants listed above have a full bar available and are suitable for grabbing a few drinks without having to order food. If you're looking to hop from bar to bar, listen to loud recorded music, and don't care about food, heading into Downtown Austin might be a better option.
