Warren Hood

Warren Hood plays The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co. on Wednesday, July 22, starting at 7 PM. It's a single-bill night, so Hood is the only name on the marquee.

If you've never been, the venue is better known as ABGB, a South Austin pizza and pint hangout that's built a following around its large outdoor patio and a rotating tap of on-premise signature brews. Since it opened in 2013, the inside stage has become a regular stop for local bands. The room holds around 270 people and pairs a laid-back, shared-table vibe with excellent sound, generous floor space in front of the stage, and a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. It was a 2014 First Plates Winner and a 2014 Best of Austin Critics Pick for Best Room With a Brew.

Because it's a mid-week show, it's the kind of night that works as a standalone outing or as a way to get out on a Wednesday. The music starts at 7 PM, and the venue is located at 1305 W. Oltorf, in the 78704 zip code. One practical thing to keep in mind: the parking lot tends to fill up quickly, so you might want to give yourself a little extra time to find a spot.
