    With more than 150 years to its name, Scholz Garten is older than anybody on the planet. This was the first bar in town and the first beer garden in the country—yet somehow it doesn’t feel outdated or smell like mothballs. Instead, the patio fills up a couple of hours before every Longhorns game or Moody event, maybe because you can get a massive 32-ounce stein of Hofbrau Original for about the cost of a Bud Light.

    Tumble 22 brought Nashville-style heat to Austin back in 2017 as a humble trailer, and it’s now a local staple with several locations around Texas.

    Zeds is a New Zealand-style ice cream shop specializing in blended-to-order soft serve.
