Gay Map of Austin

The gay clubs in Austin are largely centered around the 4th street gay district and don’t get going until around midnight. Most of  the city's gay bars are within walking distance not only of each other but of dozens of other cool mainstream bars and clubs downtown, mostly in the hip Warehouse District that's between the Texas Capitol building and the Colorado River. The gay scene in Austin is well integrated with the town so people mix and you'll often spot gay folks hanging out at the music clubs, trendy lounges, coffeehouses, and restaurant bars that everyone else in town likes.

Also, Austin is home to a very popular and scenic gay sunbathing area, Hippie Hollow Park, a county-operated, clothing-optional park that's about a 30-minute drive northwest of downtown, on the rocky but scenic shore of Lake Travis.
