Get cocktails at Garage

Filming this Nudge, I loved how easy it was but how fancy I felt.

You’ll get tapas for dinner and follow it with cocktails at a speakeasy.

First, head inside the Scarbrough and straight into a Wes Anderson film.

This place was built over 100 years ago and

it was cool to see all the little bits of history.

Grab a seat at the bar and talk to Chef Marco and his chefs.

I personally love hearing how passionate they are and it shows in their food.

They have the only Fremantle octopus in Austin, and the dish was delish!

After that, head right around the corner to Garage bar.

but when in doubt, just look for the blue sign. It wasn't too hard to snag a spot,

plus the vibes were the perfect mix of crowded but cozy.

All you have to do is share this plan with a friend for your next night out.

Here's your plan for hiking, camping, swimming, scenic views, and relaxing with games and music. Watch the video 👇

Enjoy a weekend full of nature, scenic views, hiking, camping, swimming and memories.

Hiking & Camping at Colorado Bend State Park

Reserve a campsite at Colorado Bend State Park in San Saba for scenic hiking, camping, and outdoor adventure. Enjoy trails, waterfall hikes, and creek views.

Campsite Reservation

✅ Before you go
•Check out their website and make a reservation here: https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/colorado-bend.
• You can also take a cave tour at the park here: https://www.cbcaves.com/index.html.
• The cell phone reception is poor.  Expect to not be able to use your phone while here.

💪 Pro tips
•There are drive-up sites, walk-in tent sites or primitive hike-in sites.
• There are 35 miles of hike and bike trails. The park also offers boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, and bird watching options.
• I recommend the Gorman Falls Hike.  It’s about a 3-mile round trip hike that ends at a 70-foot spring-fed waterfall. Be careful on the descent.  The rocks are extremely slippery so make sure you use the rope for stability.
• I also recommend the Spicewood Canyon Trail.  It’s about a 2-3 mile out-and-back hike with a creek.  
• The trails are accessible for day use hiking.  The park opens at 6 am daily and closes at 10 pm, except for overnight customers.
• Make sure to bring plenty of water and stay hydrated. There are water spigots available in the campground as well.

Reserve a Campsite

If you enjoy a weekend full of hiking, camping, and scenic views, then this is the plan for you.

First, head over to Colorado Bend State Park and set up your campsite.

It's about a 2 hour drive from Austin in the Hill Country region.

The campsites offer picnic tables, a grill, and there are bathrooms nearby as well as water.

Once you are settled in, I recommend checking out the Gorman Falls hike.

As you get closer to the end of the hike, the rocks are extremely slippery, so make sure you use the rope for stability.

You'll have a nice view of the river once you get there.

And there's also a lookout point close to this hike that I suggest you check out for unbelievable views.

The Spicewood Canyon Trail is another great hike, and it also has some picturesque views for you to enjoy.

After all the hiking, you will want to relax with some food and drinks so make sure you pack well for the trip.

I also like to bring games and vibe out to music while camping.

So, see the notes for more details and make it happen soon.

💪 Pro tips

I used a Partiful invite to get all my guests to RSVP and to tell me their protein selection (steak, chicken, scallops, shrimp, salmon). I also linked in to my Venmo so that they could contribute to the per person cost of the experience. 

I originally wanted to have my party in my backyard but the weather was really cold (January ‘26 freeze) so we kept it indoors. The hibachi team was really accommodating 

I ordered plates, cups, and silverware from Amazon. I also bought wine for everyone (Rex Goliath is good and cheap in bulk) from HEB. 

All star hibachi took care of the rest. They brought the food, sake, candle, a crown for me, karaoke set up, speakers, etc. 

Book All Star Hibachi! 

so I invited 30 of my friends and hired All-Star

I already knew that the food was going to be great,

but what I was not expecting was the entertainment.

but they also brought a whole karaoke system for us.

All-Star Hibachi was making sure that all of them were well taken care of,

but I also just love the details that they brought,

like candles and the lights and the amount of times they sang happy birthday,
