Zilker, Austin · restaurant
Parked just outside Barton Springs Pool, Lou's is the most logical next stop after a 68-degree cold plunge—slow-roasted rotisserie chicken, smash burgers, and frozen custard all ready on the other side of the fence. The smashed cucumbers and a hibiscus paloma are the right opening move while you figure out whether you want the half chicken or a double cheeseburger.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
