Have an after-fest beer or five far from the Sixth Street crowds. Another easy walk across the pedestrian bridge.

For tiki cocktails and burgers within walking from the festival grounds, head to Pool Burger, which is open starting at noon until midnight on Friday and Saturday (it closes at 9 p.m. Sunday).

The all-day cafe across the river has it all: breakfast and brunch-ready sandwiches and sweet potato pancakes; hearty cheeseburgers and chicken fried steaks; lighter fare like salads and granola bowls; thoughtful espresso and coffee; and carefully curated cocktails, beers, and wines.

For coffee across the river, head to Merit, found near both the Lamar-adjacent pedestrian bridge and walking distance of the shuttle drop-off.

Open from the morning until 2 a.m., Halycon is a great place for a much-needed early morning or way late-night caffeine jolt. It's close to the shuttle at Republic Square.

Do you want some Tex-Mex? Do you not want to walk far? Chuy's is here for you, and everyone else at ACL. Sometimes a big plate of enchiladas is worth the wait.

Just down the street from the festival grounds are hotel restaurant Carpenters Hall and cafe Hot L Coffee. The former serves up an essentially all-day menu of Austin/Central Texas/German comfort dishes in a bright space and the latter focuses on excellent coffee and expert pastries (don’t miss out on an egg tart or two).

A short walk to P. Terry's will yield late-night burgers (and one of the city's popular veggie burgers) until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 1 a.m. on Sunday. Expect significant lines.

Assuming there's no time to make a barbecue pit stop in Lockhart, Terry Black’s is the next best thing. There is even the opportunity for evening barbecue because the restaurant closes at 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 9 p.m. Sunday.

Are these the best hamburgers in Austin? Who knows. Does it hit the spot and come with a side of frozen custard? Hell yes.

This message is for the out-of-towners: if you're feeling really lucky or really patient, this Austin standout is within walking distance of Zilker. Get there early if you want any hope of a table. Austinites: Why on earth would you go to Uchi during ACL? You live here.

Like Uchi, the renowned Odd Duck is difficult to get into during ACL (there’s always another time), but it’s worth checking out Bryce Gilmore's Odd Duck for lunch or brunch.

Sure, there’ll probably be a line, but the ramen is restorative, which will fuel festival-goers after late nights filled with music and dancing.

An absolute dream for the wine drinker, Aviary has an exciting wine selection and the fare to go with it. Try dishes from a cheese plate to squash panzanella to killer desserts in the eclectic interior or on the bright patio.

Want barbecue and pan-Asian sides from pitmaster Aaron Franklin and sushi expert Tyson Cole? Head to Asian smokehouse Loro, where the menu incorporates smoked meats with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Malaysian, touches.
