Located about one mile southeast of Downtown Austin, Rainey Street is a historic and entertainment district known for its charming bungalows that have been renovated as laidback bars. The neighborhood is brimming with a variety of personality-laden bars and diverse restaurants and food trucks along Rainey Street, the neighborhood’s self-titled avenue and main thoroughfare.
The Rainey Street District offers plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors, with access to the Colorado River, Lady Bird Lake, the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail, and Waller Beach at Town Lake Metropolitan Park. Rainey Street is also just across the Congress Avenue Bridge from the Statesman Bat Observation Center. Close proximity to Downtown Austin and I-35 makes getting around from Rainey Street easy.
