Sixth Street is a historic avenue and the entertainment center of Austin, Texas (formerly part of Mexico). On this street you will find many bars, clubs, restaurants and nightclubs where a lot of live music is performed.

Formerly this place was known as Pacana Street, because half of the avenues were named after trees and the other half after rivers of the state of Texas, and besides bars, clubs and discos, it also has many stores of great importance for locals and tourists.
