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.
