Dinner and a Movie or Live Music

Iron Cactus, an upscale Mexican grill, for instance, is a popular bar and sit-down restaurant, while the cool, casual Austin original Verts Kebap serves Berlin-style sandwiches from the counter.

Each sandwich is bursting with fresh crunchy vegetables, garnished with a variety of delicious yogurt-based sauces — and all at no more than 550 calories.
More than just retail shopping and dining, the Galleria is home to a small outdoor amphitheater that hosts local musicians for an ongoing, all-ages concert series the entire family can enjoy.
