Time: 6pm - 8:30pm More InformationCooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que is located on the historic Congress Avenue, which isn't just Austin's main street - it is the main street of Texas. Maribeau Lamar, successor to Sam Houston as president of the newborn Republic of Texas, directed that a city be built here in 1839, specifically for the seat of government. His plan called for 120-foot wide ceremonial boulevard from the river to the hilltop Capitol. Ever since then, the street has been the site of parades, demonstrations, athletic events, movie shoots, and unforgettable street parties. Some of the notable buildings include The Old Bakery, Walter Tips Building, Paramount Theatre, Scarbrough Building and the Littlefield Building.
