When you think of Austin sports, what comes to mind? Jogging around Lady Bird? Co-ed kickball with Austin Sports and Social? Maybe you’re a fan of disc golf. No matter which fitness activity you’re into, there’s a organization to scratch the itch. But what if you’re a hockey fan? Austin’s 100-degree summers are unkind to ice. And […]
The Townsend Introduces Gourmet Bar Bites to Complement Cocktails
When we last left The Townsend bar, we raved about their speakeasy ambiance and clever cocktail list. Almost one year later, this vintage-inspired lounge has added gourmet, yet accessible, bar bites to their repertoire. The Townsend is now one of the premier spots on Congress Avenue to eat, drink and get your Jimmy Stewart/Barbara Stanwyck on.
Revival Public House Blends Pub and Southern Comfort Downtown
Editor’s Note: Revival House has closed. The corner of 2nd and Trinity can be a challenging one for new Austin businesses. When companies and trade shows invade the Austin Convention Center, profits soar. When they leave, it’s a different story. Located too far for the South Congress lunch crowd, and inconvenient for the Rainey/6th Street scene, blossoming restaurants have […]
BaseCamp Aims to Elevate Austin Sports Bar Concept
Sports bars can be overwhelming. Bar tops bathed in the harsh light of tightly packed TVs and beer sign neon.

When you think of a fun hang, your first thought typically isn’t about an industrial park. But that’s where I found myself on a beautiful evening. Friends and colleagues lined the outside picnic tables. Friendly bartenders served friendly beer in a friendly environment. Everyone had a brew in hand, enjoying the impromptu celebration. And for good reason. With a […]
The Broken Spoke: Austin’s Texas Dancehall Time Machine
The Broken Spoke isn’t just a venue. It’s a symbol of Texan defiance. You won’t take the Alamo without a fight and The Broken Spoke will never change. Even as South Lamar explodes skyward with apartment complexes and hotels, one of the most famous dancehalls in Texas remains intact. A genuine relic of Lone Star […]
Guide to the Ultimate Dog-Friendly Day in Austin
Meet Mr. Ming. It’s been a long, harsh winter for this pampered Pekingese. The weather has been rainy. The squirrels are all hibernating. He hasn’t had a hair cut in months. But now that spring has sprung, it’s time for Mr. Ming to head out on the town for a day of fun, sun and […]
Duncan Fellows Delivers Evolving Indie Rock to Austin Music Scene
There’s nothing like conducting an interview next to a set of dumpsters on 6th Street. But that’s where I found myself, chatting with the members of Duncan Fellows before their Feb. 23 show at The Parish. Their demeanor was quiet and unassuming, much like their blend of emotional, harmony-driven gaze rock. But don’t mistake these indie upstarts […]
