Fun Things to Do in Austin for Groups: Beyond the Usual Bar Crawl

Austin Was Made for Group Outings

Planning a group outing in Austin means navigating an embarrassment of riches. BBQ joints, live music, lake days — the options are endless. But when you want something that gets the whole group engaged (not just standing around with drinks), you need entertainment with a pulse.

SideHustle LIVE is Austin's entrepreneur comedy game show — a live experience where real founders pitch side hustles to professional comedians. It's the kind of show where your group of 10 or your group of 100 walks out with inside jokes and stories to tell. For everything you need to know about the show, see our complete guide to SideHustle LIVE.

Why Groups Love SideHustle LIVE

Unlike passive entertainment, SideHustle LIVE creates a shared experience your whole group participates in — even from the audience. You're voting on pitches, reacting to comedian roasts, and debating which side hustle was actually genius.

Groups that book with us include:

• Birthday celebrations looking for something beyond dinner and drinks
• Bachelor/bachelorette parties that want laughs without the cringe
• Friend groups visiting Austin who want a "only in Austin" experience
• Corporate teams looking for a fun night out (not a "team building" night out)
