Rainey Street, Austin · bar
One of Austin’s biggest patios and more than 200 beers on draft tells you immediately this place is operating at a different scale. House-made sausages run from duck-and-fig to beer-cheddar, backed by giant pretzels, poutine, and fried pickle spears made with their own pickles. Weekend brunch escalates things further with whole smoked hogs and the Manmosa, a full bottle of champagne with just enough orange juice to legally call it brunch.
