Everyone remembers their first Austin. Most people fall hard and fast — some never make it home. Texas Hill Country, Topo Chico, brisket smoke — sure, that's the postcard. But Austin is a city of romantics, and romantics come alive after dark. This is a town that sings and dances its heart out, night after night, like it's got nothing to lose. Cheer Up Charlies. Hotel Vegas. The Continental Club. The dearly departed Stay Gold. Maybe it's an older Austin we caught on camera — one where life ran looser, louder, a little more free. But when we dream of anywhere else we'd rather be, the neon always leads us back here to Austin Nights.
