The Backyard at Bee Cave: An Austin Music Experience

If you haven’t seen a show at The Backyard at Bee Cave, you're missing out on a quintessential Austin-area music experience. This outdoor music venue has hosted legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, David Bowie, and countless others. Set in Texas’ beautiful hill country, the surroundings are just as spectacular as the music. Although there are indoor bathrooms, they are a bit small. That's the tradeoff to enjoy a relatively intimate venue, with the opportunity to get closer to the stage than other spots that welcome big name artists. Tickets tend to be reasonably priced, as well as parking. Traffic can get congested close to the entrance. The Backyard recommends carpooling – if there are four or more to a vehicle, you can park for free. Just be sure to take a friend’s SUV, the gravel lot can be rough on low profile vehicles. Regulars suggest using a car locater app on your smart phone to find your car at the end of the night. Visit the website for a schedule of shows!
