A little more upscale then Bennu's, Thunderbird Coffee has great outdoor seating. On top of serving delicious coffee and hot paninis, they always have several beers on tap.

A gastropub with amazing grub. The menu is innovative (meat dishes revolve around pork) and cocktails are scrumptious. If you're thinking of having a cocktail, or three, then HH is the time to go

Operating since the 1940's this BBQ joint is an East Austin Landmark. They have a basic menu (ribs, brisket, mutton (yes, mutton), and sausage). I can only attest to the beef sandwich which is delish!

Great place to go for a morning with friends. The atmosphere is a bit more cafe than coffee shop. The morning tacos are some of the best in Austin, and they have a lot of great outdoor seating.

Drinks & Nightlife

Although they don't call themselves a sports bar, they're pretty much a sports bar with lots of TVs (indoor and out). Haymaker is known for its poutine and great beer selection on tap.
