Outdoor music venues? Yes please.

While ATX is known for world-class music year round, what better time than summer to take in the tunes outdoors?

• The menu at Stubb’s Bar-B-Que (801 Red River) boasts brisket, Gospel brunch and live music al fresco at the eponymous Waller Creek Amphitheater.

• The Courtyard at Fourth (208 W 4th St.), a brick-lined mainstay of the Warehouse District, is making (outdoor) music under a new moniker and a packed slate – all summer long.

• For folks craving local beer and live music on tap in one location, look no further than Banger’s (on Rainey Street) for a slew of sweet sounds.
