Where To Eat & Drink

ACL BODEGAS

The ACL Bodega is a one-stop-shop where you can buy quick snacks, like fresh fruit, and festival survival necessities, like sunscreen and ponchos. Stop by the Bodega near ACL Eats and the ACL Wine Lounge.

 

BARTON SPRINGS BEER HALL

Stay on top of your game! Don’t miss out on the Barton Springs Beer Hall, where you can choose from different craft brews and catch the weekend’s biggest MLB, NFL and College Football games on the jumbo screen in between sets.

ACL WINE LOUNGE

Wine down at the ACL Wine Lounge, brought to you by Campo Viejo! Located in a beautiful shady grove, the lounge features a wine shop and has something for every wine enthusiast from classic varietals to frosé, spritzes and other specialties. Come sip, relax and stay for a while in the shade!

KEEP ACL SUSTAINABLE

ACL Festival is committed to sustainable festival practices in the field, behind the scenes and through the preservation of the ever-beautiful Zilker Park. This commitment is integrated into every area of the park, from recycling and composting, to eco-friendly service items at ACL Eats and CamelBak Hydration Stations that provide patrons free, filtered water, while diverting thousands of plastic bottles from the landfill. Even more, festival producers offset the carbon dioxide emissions of festival vehicles, generators, staff and artist travel, by purchasing certified carbon offsets.

ACL invites attendees to participate in sustainability efforts with the Rock & Recycle Program, presented by Austin Parks Foundation. Fans are rewarded for filling one bag of recyclables from the festival grounds with a commemorative ACL Festival T-shirt, all designed by local artists! Each participant earns a chance to win a Fairdale bike and two 3-day Tickets to ACL Festival 2019! Help keep the festival clean by using provided waste, recycling, and compost bins and check out the Recycling Tour to learn about fun Austin parks facts.
