Downtown Coffee Shop, Bar & Lounge, Halcyon Suits Any Occasion

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Brittany Highland

Halcyon Austin With Frost Tower

We categorize most coffee shops as appropriate for a specific purpose, at a specific time of day: late night chill hangout with friends, outlets-galore study spot. But I long ago discovered a local staple that is all things to all people. Located in the Warehouse District of downtown Austin, Halcyon manages to wear a typically […]

The Buzz Mill Brings Lumberjack Life to East Austin

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Eric Highland

The Buzz Mill Austin Texas

Beavers coming out of the woodwork (literally), subdued mason jar lighting hanging from the rafters, a huge outdoor yard, BBQ from one of the most famous pits in history, fruit-infused liquor, all-you-can-eat flapjack breakfast for $5, free Wi-Fi, full bar, coffee, open 24/7…should I go on? Anyone who keeps up with the Austin scene has […]

Drinking with Gusto at One of My Favorite Austin Wine Bars

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Laura Darby

Our guest blogger Rob Moshein has written about relaxing Austin wine bars downtown, but there also happen to be some great wine spots in North Austin that should be shared as well! I first discovered Gusto Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar when I was on Burnet Road looking for another wine bar in the same neighborhood. […]

The Ultimate Map to Your Perfect Austin Happy Hour

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Guest Blogger

Austin Happy Hour Search

This guest blog post is by Chris Lloyd. It can be really hard to find a good Austin happy hour. In the age of Google, it’s hard to believe that some information isn’t just a few keystrokes away. Granted, there are lots of happy hour lists. But none of them have all the information you […]

Experience Unique Cajun Dining at Razzoo’s Cajun Cafe in Round Rock

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Eric Highland

Razzoo's Cajun Cafe Patio in Round Rock

Ever ripped the tail off a properly spiced crawfish or taken a bite into some tender alligator meat? If you have, your mouth is probably watering already. If you’ve never had a chance to try these Cajun staples and they sound a bit too strange for you, don’t knock it ’til you try it. The […]

Romance at Austin Italian Restaurants: Carmelo’s Ristorante Italiano

Posted on February 6, 2013 by Laura Darby

Chocolate Cake at Carmelo's Italian Restaurant

Want a taco? Austin has a million places to go to get one. Some BBQ? Absolutely. But until I visited Carmelo’s downtown, I wasn’t sure that I could experience really wonderful Italian food in our southern capital city. The trope of the romantic Italian restaurant is pervasive in movies and TV. Sadly most Italian restaurant experiences […]

With the Highball Closed, Does Kung Fu Saloon Measure Up?

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Laura Darby

Kung Fu Saloon on Sixth Street in Austin

After the holidays, I resumed my search for a replacement to the Highball. Of course, no two places are identical. But the Highball had provided me a place to eat and drink, and offered more entertainment than just watching my drunk friends fall down. Thus far on my search, I’ve visited The Goodnight and The […]

Alamo Springs Cafe: Burger Heaven Near Fredericksburg

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Eric Highland

Bacon cheeseburger at Alamo Springs Cafe

For the longest time, Alamo Springs Cafe didn’t have a website. AlamoSpringsCafe.com redirected to a Facebook page. They are out in the middle of nowhere. And none of this bothers them in the least. When your burgers are this good, you don’t need to worry about silly little details like location and a functional website. […]
