I will be in Austin next month and would be interested in getting a ride from near Rainy Street out to Jester King on February 19. Any ideas would be appreciated! The shuttle idea would be great!! :-0

That is a bit of a ride. Maybe try uber? JK is pretty far out there if you are unaware.

Yeah, it looks like about 25 miles. I skipped it the last time I was in Austin but hope to visit this trip. I have never used Uber but it may be my best option. I assume a cab would be outrageous.

Never used it either, but met up with another RB member last month and he used it. Must depend on where you are, but he got a ride almost immediately. Post again when the date rolls around and I might be willing to make the ride - if you don’t mind a crapped out old car and driver.
And going north to south in Austin is often hell in traffic. On a Friday, potentially even worse.

My hotel is right on 35 so it looks like more of an E>W route, although I don’t know anything about local traffic patterns.

I will get in touch closer to when I am in town and see if you are up for a trip. Thanks!

So I had a blast out at Jester king! I learned that Uber will take you out but will not pick you up lol
Lyft delivered us in style though, so all is well!
Great brewery Asutinites!

I don’t think it’s a matter of "they won’t" but Uber’s search radius to find drivers is smaller than Lyft’s. If there were an Uber driver in the area, you could get a ride for sure.
