A mainstay of Red River District, Stubb's BBQ is arguably one of the top 3 "big" venues currently in Austin. With its anticipated expansion and growth, the venue should boast bigger and better acts for years to come. An evening of live music accentuated by quality BBQ is a must for any Texan, and Stubb's obliges with that combo most nights of the week. A brief history of founder C.B. Stubblefield can be found on the
Stubb's site.
