History

Established in 2014.

The East 6^th Neighborhood is home to an abundance of small businesses including restaurants, bars, food truck courts, boutique and small retail as well as office space for graphic designers, architects, and other creatives. Mid rise condos are being built across the street from the Lion’s Nest with commercial on the street level, as it is the prime neighborhood to live and growing rapidly. Unlike it’s cousin, the very famous 6^th Street across the highway (home to late night music venues and bars) East 6^th Street has a neighborhood vibe and is personable in all hours of the day and mellow by night. Foot traffic is provided by an Austin light rail system stop a mere three blocks away, and the district is easily accessed by car and bus, a direct exit off I-​35. East 6^th Street is a destination shopping and nightlife district for both locals and tourists and is home to the East 6^th Street Studio Tour and other artful events.
