Dazed & Confused

Top Notch Hamburgers

@stanzie

Home to some of the most iconic scenes in Richard Linklater's classic ode to Austin, Top Notch is a time capsule of 1960s burger joints. Stop inside to check out film props from Dazed & Confused, and be sure to order a burger and fries. It'll be alright alright alright.

Stiles Switch BBQ

@stanzie

Even though The Emporium - the bar that provided the indoor and outdoor scenes of the pool hall in Dazed and Confused - is no longer around, you can stop into Stiles Switch BBQ to at least visit the same spot.

Westenfield Neighborhood Park

@stanzie

Home to the "moontower party" in the Dazed and Confused film, West Enfield Park is a neighborhood park with a playground and open fields. Unlike the movie, Enfield does not actually have a working moontower (although you can still find a few in the city).
