Shops in Austin?

I’m running down to Austin in a week for a conference are there any places I shouldn’t miss? Does anyone know the scene down there? Can you sit in a bench or in a bar for a smoke or is it lounges only?
 
Austin Area Smoking and Drinking Laws | CityStage | AustinTexas.gov says:
Purchasing & Smoking Tobacco
In the City of Austin, smoking is not allowed in public places, including City parks, libraries, buses or within 15 feet of any pedestrian entrance. This ban includes bars and restaurant establishments. Smoking is allowed in private residences. If you are staying in a hotel and wish to smoke, please request a designated smoking room.​

From reading the law, some places might have smoking allowed in outdoor patios.
It would still be a "workplace", so smoking would not be allowed. Only lounges, designated rental rooms, residences, and non-park outdoors it seems.

Surprise- golf course holes are excluded. I hate lawmakers! Exclusions for themselves and the wealthy.
