Stubb's Bar-B-Q

The weathered stone facade of Stubb's Bar-B-Q on Red River Street centers on a stage built into the hillside. Christopher B. Stubbfield opened his original kitchen in Lubbock in nineteen sixty-eight, where he fed musicians in exchange for songs. He moved his operation to Austin in the nineties, turning this space into a permanent home for that tradition. Legends like Muddy Waters once played for plates of ribs in his kitchen, and the music continues here every single night.
