There's a couple good pubs. Opal Divine's on 6th street, between Lavaca and Lamar, has a really nice ambiance; that's where we usually went out for drinks. Just a little further on down the road is the big Whole Foods that's like the biggest one in the country or something? I like to stop there because they usually have a great selection on the big blocks of chocolate, hee. And across the street from Opal's is Wahoo Fish Tacos. Good and cheap! And that whole area along 6th street is pretty great - lots of little bars and restaurants, shops, tons of live music.
There's also The Dog and Duck, on Guadalupe and 17th, just south of the UT campus. Best fish and chips ever. I don't know if you guys are renting a car or not; that's a bit of a hike from downtown. But if you do have a car, there's also The Noble Pig up north of Austin in Red Rock - great sandwiches.
I wish I had more recs for things to do, but we basically just ate, drank, and went to the Drafthouse.
