Opening a bar in Austin is like entering the Thunderdome: two bars enter, one bar leaves. I have watched them come and go through the years. Themed bars, dives, sports bars, college bars – many pop up, trying to dominate their niches, but few have have staying power. Personally, no bar has held my attention […]
Cocktails with Somersault at The Domain Will Make You Flip
In cocktail terminology, the word “flip” is one that has been in use since 1695.

Hill Country’s Lewis Wines Characterizes the Future of Texas Wine
This guest blog post is by Matt Champion. The Texas wine industry is rapidly expanding every year, and it’s not just the big operations that are making noise.
