Austin: Where Your Thirst Met Its Destiny (and 813 Other Places)
Ah, Austin, Texas. The "Live Music Capital of the World," the land of breakfast tacos and breakfast boozehounds (because, hey, why wait?). But beneath the neon glow of Sixth Street and the clinking glasses of craft breweries lies a question that has puzzled philosophers and pub crawlers alike: just how many bars are there in this fair city?

Fear not, thirsty adventurers! According to a recent report (by the brilliant minds at Rentech Digital, no less), Austin boasts a staggering 813 bars. That's right, folks, enough watering holes to quench the thirst of a whole herd of long-horned cattle (and maybe a few out-of-towners).

Now, 813 is a pretty darn impressive number, but here's the thing: that number only scratches the surface. Austin's bar scene is as diverse as its music scene.
