Greg And Marsha’s Guide to Amarillo
Food/Night Life
If you have never been to Amarillo, 6th St. is a pretty cool place. During the day you can browse several local shops. If you're hungry, there is some great food as well. Golden Light and Smokey Joe's serve a great burger. If you're looking for some great Mexican Food, we encourage your to try El Braceros.
At night, Smokey Joe's has live music 7 days/week. In the summer, music is live on their outdoor stage. 6th St. is also the home to several other bars depending on your taste.
