Booze, bands and barbecue
Don't have a backyard barbecue to go to? These venues are happy to host you--and they won't run out of beer.
At Safari Sam's Sunday Brunch Americana, biscuits, ham and eggs plus live country and rockabilly music plus a Bloody Mary or 3 equals the perfect formula to help you forget you have to work in the morning.
On Sundays, the Echo becomes the Grand Ole Echo, when locals feast on BBQ in the club's backyard, while alt-country, Americana and country/rock bands play on several stages.
This authentic honky tonk features a dozen hitching posts outside its doors. Every Sunday afternoon, cowpokes line up for free dance lessons, mouthwatering BBQ, and a hot country band.
Sundays are fun days at this unpretentious club's legendary Do-overs, where a diverse crowd eases their hangovers with the help of grilled meats and groovey beats spun by mystery A-list DJs.
From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on July 4th, you can gorge yourself on kid food (hot dogs, ice cream) and adult beverages in Akbar's parking lot. There’ll also be picnic games, a Bouncy House, live music and DJs.
Sunday afternoons, this rough and tumble rock venue offers drink specials from noon to 3 p.m., and free BBQ (including veggie burgers) and DJs from 2 to 7 p.m.
