Great Food and Music Are on the Menu at Blue Moon Bar & Grill

January 14, 2014 3:43 pm

Blue Moon Bar & Grill is one of the reasons Austin is known as the Live Music Capital of the World. Here, live music acts take the stage nearly every night of the week, and there's a full bar and kitchen to boot.

Pick up some cheese fries with bacon and green onions or a basket of sweet potato fries for the table, or enjoy one of Blue Moon's 100% beef burgers. The breakfast burger comes with fried egg, ham or bacon, and is topped with hashbrowns, while the Hawaiian burger is topped with grilled pineapple and teriyaki sauce.

Regulars come back for the upscale atmosphere that still manages to be affordable, while the house jam band that performs on Wednesdays is well-liked among many.
