Thirty is a transitional age, so don't be afraid to go all out when throwing a 30th birthday party in Austin. Typically it is a time when people move from the formative years of their twenties into the period when they begin to bring their plans to fruition. It is a time when careers take off and families are being built, and it is definitely a moment that deserves commemoration. It is a wonderful time to celebrate and Austin is a great city in which to celebrate.
If the guest of honor still likes to party like a rock star, then take advantage of the fact that Austin is a great music town. If the birthday occurs during the South by Southwest annual festival, then there will be events going on all over town. But even if it is at another time, Austin has some great music venues where you can party hard and long into the night. The best of the Red River Street live music clubs include Emo's Beerland, Red Eyed Fly, Bull McCabes' Irish Pub and Stubb's. These are just a few of the many places to enjoy rock music.
And if it's a fine dining affair, then Austin comes through with flying colors. Sullivan's Steakhouse and Cool River Cafe offer private dining rooms and cigar lounges for an upscale feel to your private party. You can also shoot some pool and enjoy a more refined evening of celebration. Phara's gives that exotic eastern European feel with its "Hooka Happy Hour". And if you have to satisfy that sweet tooth, the Sugar Tooth Bakery is a vegan place that makes the most incredible cupcakes in town. If the party has a taste for barbecue, the Franklin Barbecue offers those down home specialties we all love and couples them with a relaxed atmosphere suitable for a birthday party. And if you want to relive those bygone college days, the Crown and Anchor Pub offers a variety of great beer and outstanding burgers in a collegiate atmosphere.
But whatever your personality, Austin has many options to help you celebrate a 30th birthday in style.
