 Movies, Food & Beer |
1120 S. Lamar Boulevard Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 476 1320 http://www.drafthouse.com |
Have you always wanted to enjoy a cold beer at the movies? You can here. In fact, you will find a nice selection of both domestic and imported beers, as well as wines and champagnes. The libations help you wash down the tasty pizzas, chicken wings or cheese- and salsa-smothered nachos as you take in a flick. Children at least 6 years of age can accompany their parents; patrons must ordinarily be at least 18 to attend on their own. The theater features mostly independent films. See website for showtimes, ticketing info, menus, special event calendar, merchandise and more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Have your first meal here |
5408, Burnet Road Austin, TX 78756 United States +1 512 467 9552 |
The Austin Diner (earlier Laura's Bluebonnet Kitchen) comes very close to being a 50s diner cliche. The tables and chairs are vintage fifties style and a collection of vintage percolators, coffee pots and toasters catch your eye. Make yourself comfortable and a plethora of choices (from ginger pancakes to biscuits smothered in cream gravy) lie before you. The Austin Diner also makes huevos rancheros and other assorted Tex-Mex fare. The Cinnamon Rolls with warm butter glaze are a good choice; the Diner Special with its eggs, bacon, sausages, fries and biscuits is enough to feed a small convoy of bodyguards.

Mexican food with live music |
1901 West William Cannon Austin, TX 78748 United States +1 512 441 9504 http://www.casagarcias.net |
Cabrito, Chicken Mole, Carne Asada, Pork Mole and Tamales are names of just few Mexican specialties served here. The Mexican décor gives you the feeling of being in Mexico. The margaritas served at the bar will get you in the party mood. Steak a la Mexicana, served with fried beans and rice is the favorite delicacy here. For desserts, try the Bunuelos and the New York Cheesecake. The restaurant has another branch at 1000 South Lamar. This place is very popular with the locals hence it is advisable to make a reservation. The Mariachi band plays here every Friday from 7p-9p, so book your table now! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Not so much Ironic as Iconic |
1822, S Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 444 5738 |
Whereas several Texas-based fast food chains have resorted to the faux-'50s hamburger stand motif for some reason, Fran's doesn't have to fake it; this really is the sort of place where the waitresses are caustically priceless and where the exterior is adorned with fins like an Eisenhower-era Chevrolet not out of intentional irony, but because that's really how the post-war designers thought a restaurant should look. Unsurprisingly, Fran's operates under a pleasing, no-frills menu offering burgers (in three sizes, conveniently enough), fries, onion rings, and the like. And just as was the case several decades ago, things still get busy around noon; prepare yourself for brief lunchtime delays. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Honolulu, Texas |
3825 Lake Austin Boulelvard Austin, TX 78703 United States +1 512 476 4852 http://www.hulahut.com/ |
Sit out on the pier, sip on a mango margarita, and watch the cigarette boats churn through the water while you feast on a delightful Thai dish. In case you think you are in Hawaii, you are half right, the point of this place, set beside Oyster Landing, is to give you a Polynesian feeling deep in the Texas Hill Country. The food is generally inexpensive (usually $7-10) but you will feel like you paid for an airline ticket to the island itself. If Polynesian Tex-Mex sounds like a contradiction in terms, try this place out. The contradiction is well worth exploring. Review © 2007, Wcities |
