Our patio is one of the best places to enjoy the book you got from Austin Public Library and to have an ice cold beer while you’re at it! What’s on your reading list this summer? 📖
Our food isn’t the only thing inspired by books, literary classics are often the inspiration behind the cocktails you will find from our bar as well. Take The Secret Garden for example...
Library Director Roosevelt Weeks and @taylok stopped by yesterday for a quick bite while filming a segment for @austinafterhours. You can watch the episode when it airs this fall! @ Cookbook

Each and every one of our staff members is worthy of a celebration and a pat on the back. We will be closing the restaurant and coffee window at 6pm tomorrow to thank our staff for such a fun and successful first year! Stop by during regular business hours when we reopen on Wednesday.

What are you having for lunch? How about our mac and cheese with shrimp and a little bit of bacon sprinkled on top. 🧀 🍤 🥓. 📷: @shelbysorrel
We really want to help celebrate you! Starting this Friday, raise a toast to yourself with half off bottles of wine. Cheers, Austin🥂
