Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Downtown Austin, Austin

Zach Z. • June 15, 2018Love the style of their drink presentation—it takes you from late 1800s up through the eras of classic cocktails up to the modern drink.

Sarah H. • November 6, 2018JuiceLand is more than just a fantastic healthy Austin original. They've got bowls, smoothies, wraps, and other health conscience snacks for everyone to enjoy!

Sarah H. • December 27, 2018Incredible selection of hand crafted food. Perfect for an upscale night or down to earth date! Something for everyone!

Austin Chronicle • August 5, 2013Banger’s laid-back biergarten aesthetic is a great break from the übercool ethos of Rainey St. Wash down the delish housemade sausages with 100+ taps of craft brew. Stellar vegetarian options, too.

Chris N. • February 16, 2015Sandra Bullock's second dining establishment with comfort staples and mouthwatering baked goods.

Kevin K. • May 5, 2018The Alambi slow brew coffee is some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Occasionally it will get crowded but more often than not there is a seat. Their pastries are also very delicious.

AmateurConcierge • January 5, 2020New fine dining spot with really creative menu and excellent cocktails (mezcal one). Do: shrimp & scallop snacks, potato, broccoli. Steak was nicely charred

Laurie H. • December 26, 2013OMFG. The peanut bar dessert is literally to die for!! Also, order the pork chop. It's even better than the delicious steaks.
