Keepin' South Austin weird & well-fed.

On the old La Fuentes site off Manchaca, four longtime friends built the bar they actually wanted to drink at.

We're a dive bar prettied up with fresh paint and cool metallic trim — but the soul is pure South Austin. The music drifts from heavy metal into soft jazz into classic country and back again. The crowd is families and metalheads and everyone in between. And the kitchen? Higher-end fine dining fused with a dive bar, locally sourced, open late.

Order at the bar, take a number, grab a seat in the backyard, and we'll bring it out to you. Stay for the band. Bring the dog. This is your spot now.

The Kitchen

Not your average bar food.

Locally sourced, Southern-inspired, and ever-evolving — chef-driven plates coming out of a small but mighty kitchen 'til 1am. Here's what's been hitting the pass lately.

The Burger — bacon, American cheese, pickled onion
Fried Chicken Sandwich
Carnitas Sliders
Pimento Mac & Cheese
Seafood Special — mussels, shrimp & scallops
Gulf Shrimp Special
Steak & Twice-Baked Potato
Salmon Risotto
Cornmeal Fried Fish
Whole Roasted Cauliflower
Liquor Infusions & Famous Frozen Drinks

Pour something cold.

House-infused liquors behind the bar — blackberry, strawberry, grilled pineapple & jalapeño, dill pickle. And the frozen drinks people drive across town for, made with aguas frescas from local Lula's Aguas. The flavor changes daily, so you'll just have to stop in and see.

The Backyard

A huge yard built for hanging out.

Sprawling, shaded, and strung with lights. Picnic tables under the pecan trees, an outdoor bar, misters for the Texas heat, and fire pits for when it finally cools off. Room for 500 of your closest friends.

Backyard Games

Pool, darts, putt-putt & washers.

Pool tables and darts inside. Out back you'll find putt-putt, two horseshoe pits, and two washer pits ready for a friendly competition. Pull up, rack 'em, and settle in for the afternoon.
