An old Austin classic. They have their own garden and the restaurant itself is an old house conversion. Not as hip as Salty Sow or Dai Due, but it's a pillar of the neighborhood.

Standard TexMex. Some people swear by this place, but I'm not a big fan. I do like that it's family owned though.

This is our neighborhood's taco joint. It's counter service and outdoor seating. They serve beer, but it's not really a hangout type place. It's popular; there can be long lines to order and pick up food.

If you are in the mood for a sandwich, go here! The sandwiches are really really tasty; this ain't no Jimmy Johns or chain!
It's counter service with a few benches, but they deliver to The Wheel (the bar next door) so that's usually how people eat here.

They bill themselves as "a hipster sports bar". So yeah, it's more of an "East Side" sports bar... whatever that means... ;) Food is ok, but they have a huge beer selection. It's always pretty jumpin'.

Cocktails, beers, wine. Small indoor area, but also has a nice covered outside area. Austin Daily Press (the sandwich shop next door) will deliver your orders here. This is my favorite neighborhood bar.
