The food in Govalle is just as diverse as its people's interests and activities. Vegans will have no shortage of options here.

At night this busy neighborhood, full of shoppers and people riding busses during the day, turns into another equally diverse setting. Theaters can be found all around Govalle as well as a wide range of dining. The bar scene is extremely strong from trendy clubs to sports bars to local pubs. College students from Austin Community College and the University of Texas are out in full force as the vast majority of places cater to a younger crowd - although there are plenty of low-key bars for a quieter night.

MetroBike stations, e-scooters, and CapMetro bus routes (4, 18, and 350) make getting around easy, while Plaza Saltillo Station offers quick MetroRail access to Downtown. Rideshares like Uber and Lyft are readily available, and free street parking is abundant. If you’re heading to the airport, it’s just a 15-minute drive or accessible via CapMetro Route 350.
