The Granddaddy of all local music venues, the Continental Club has enjoyed a coast-to-coast reputation as the premiere club for live music in Austin since 1955. "This is simply one of the greatest clubs in the country. With its rich tradition and great reputation for always having good music, the Continental Club seems to be a hot spot for anyone who really likes music. And if you go, you just may find yourself sitting next to Julia Roberts or Johnny Depp. You never know at the CC. And that's why bigger acts always make a stop here on tour. As far as musicians are concerned, there's no better place to play...or go." ~CitySearch.com Age Limit 21+, Non-Smoking, Full Bar, Live Music This page is NOT for booking.

The show is two events in one: an art fair and music festival, with a vibrant community-driven vibe. Visitors can explore an amazing array of handmade items from 160+ artists while enjoying live local music and sips from a full bar. On exhibit will be everything from statement-making collectible pieces to modestly priced stocking stuffers. While Texas artists predominate, there are a select few carefully chosen from around the country. The Armadillo stage showcases some of Austin’s favorite musical talent, with live, intimate performances at least three times a day. Featured musicians range from new and emerging stars to local legends, to Grammy winners. It all adds up to a fun authentic Austin experience.
"The Continental Gallery’s ambience is strikingly different from most other clubs around town, highlighted by the revolving art displays on the walls and relatively quiet live music. Upstairs from The Continental Club, patrons find more secluded seating areas and a ping-pong table. Unique touches like this one are what make the gallery so exciting." ~DTWeekend.com Age Limit 21+, Non-Smoking, Full Bar, Live Music This page is NOT for booking.

That sense of adventure is what Little Barrel and Brown is all about. Three friends originally from Chicago wanted to open a restaurant on South Congress that was diverse (food- and price-wise) and would add to the already amazing culinary scene. Matt Botticelli, Andrew Botticelli, and Tim Brown—the team behind Botticellis South Congress—felt that Austin, and SoCo in particular, had a void when it came to American and New American dining, so the trio opened Little Barrel and Brown in late December 2013. “We always said we wanted a place where you could have a meal for $15 or $50,” said Matt Botticelli. “If you were a vegetarian, there were options. If you just wanted a sandwich, we had that—and great appetizers and beautiful entrées.” The menu caters to a discerning bar crowd and features creative takes on traditional dishes and fresh ingredients from local purveyors including John Lash’s Farm to Table, Lonestar Foodservice, and JBG. Items range from appetizers such as Sloppy Joe Sliders with duck confit, arugula, and pickled red onion ($14) and Lockhart Grilled Quail with carrot, peas, potato, and cornbread ($15) to a Blue Cheese Burger with marrownaise and fixin’s ($13) and a Roast Pork Sandwich with braised greens, pickles, and beer mustard ($14) to entrées such as Grilled Rack of Lamb with wild rice, brussels sprouts, and lamb bacon ($30) and Red Snapper with rice, savoy cabbage, and beets ($32). The eclectic mix of food is complemented by a thriving bar scene. The idea is to relax while imbibing on a craft cocktail, a delicious wine, or a local brew (happy hour is daily from 5 to 7 and all day on Sunday and Monday). Or simply dine at the large bar—it can seat up to 24 people—which is truly the centerpiece of Little Barrel and Brown and runs through the entire restaurant. Interior designer Natalie Holzem juxtaposed rich colors and fabrics with modern fixtures and exposed brick to create an inviting urban space. The bar is also front and center at brunch (Saturdays and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.), where mixologists whip up homemade Bloody Mary’s ($6) and light mimosas (glasses $3 and carafes $10) to go with a menu that features everything from chicken and waffles and yogurt parfaits to steak and eggs and a traditional LB&B breakfast of eggs, house-made sausage, toast, and hash browns with gravy. Kids are welcome too and can order from their own menu.

Little Lucy's Mini Donuts story starts with a young boy who would visit San Francisco's Pier 39 to frequent a shop that had his favorite treat: mini-donuts. After polishing off a bag of the mini-donuts, he would fold up the bag and save it in his velcro wallet as a reminder of the deliciousness he had just experienced. This boy would wait months until he could return, and when he did, he would unfold the bag from his wallet to get a refill. To him, those mini-donuts were the entire reason for a trek to San Francisco. Later, as an adult he returned to the same shop with a friend who instantly became a fellow mini-donut lover and business partner. Together, they have gone through countless measures to bring the same goodness to home — in Austin, TX. With the help of a little pup named Lucy (our mascot and inspiration), the dream came to life. Today, we're pumping out those fresh mini-donuts at our awesome pink truck at 74 Rainey St starting at 8 pm weekdays and 4pm on weekends. We stay open until 12am on weekdays and 2:30am on weekends. Why are you still reading this? Go there now!

The building: 217-221 Congress has an incredible history we can't wait to bring alive in the renovated space.

Across the street was home to the International and Great Northern Rail Road Depot, built in 1888. The upstairs space at 217 was once the Travis Hotel, rumored to have been a cat house in years past! We plan to restore the facade to its original state to honor the location's eclectic history. Cooper's will feature a live music stage, a rooftop garden, and a beautiful oak-shaded back patio. Cooper's is bringing the food, feel and history of Texas to the table in the fall of 2014. We look forward to you joining us.
