Most popular places in Austin during SXSW

March 19th, 2009

Hello everyone. After a fun and sleep deprived week at SXSW Interactive we are back in the office and back to the grind stone. During the interactive festival it was great to finally put real faces to online avatars and meet a host of new friends (in this case, Foursquare founders Dennis and Naveen), all with the help of Brightkite of course ;).

In addition to enabling new relationships around places Brightkite proved exceptionally useful in helping people find the hottest panels, parties and shows in Austin. Below we have compiled a list of the most popular Brightkite places during the festival. These “place stats” represent absolute unique visitors to a given place. We think the results are quite interesting.

20 Most popular places in Austin during SXSW. (Based on unique place visits in Brightkite)

Brightkite SXSW Party Recap
Thanks to everyone who came by the Brightkite party. Thrown in conjunction with our pals over at DandyID it turned out to be quite a night. Thanks for your support and we look forward to next year.

    A few places I haven't seen mentioned:

    - Pecan St Cafe, right there on 6th and Trinity. Not stunning food, but decent if you want an actual plate of food and a tablecloth in between bands, instead of standing in the street.

    - the Worst stand, also somewhere near 6th and Trinity. Those things are huge, a meal in themselves.

    - Clay Pit for Happy Hour – not totally downtown (1600 Guadalupe?) but half-price appetizers at the bar make for a good early dinner.

    - The Fox & Hound has taken over the old Hard Rock location: an accursed chain I know, but $2 pints at Happy Hour and a decent philly cheese.
