Just a short trip from Elan East, Butterfly Bar is a laid-back and one-of-a-kind bar with a cool vibe that can only be found in Austin. Butterfly Bar is located inside of Vortex, an avant-garde theater, but it’s definitely worth a visit whether you have tickets to a show or not. Butterfly Bar offers both indoor and outdoor spaces including a huge patio, a spacious lawn, and a small greenhouse, though the main bar is housed inside the theater.

Parked out back is Patrizi’s, a family-owned food truck serving some of the highest-quality and most delicious meals you’ll find in the area. Pair your plate with a specialty mixed drink, champagne, wine, or a beer from the rotating selection here. As you may expect from a bar inside a theater, Butterfly Bar hosts unique entertainment like magicians, musicians, trivia, and more.

There aren't many places where you can take your pick between beer and java, but Thunderbird Coffee in Austin is one of them. It actually has two outposts in the city, one on Manor Road near Elan East, and another on Koenig Lane. Both offer beer and coffee, but the Manor Road location boasts a much larger selection of brews. Try a Pecan Porter or the Double IPA from Austin's own (512) Brewing Company, or enjoy a Hefeweizen or Liberation Ale by another local brewery, Live Oak.

If you're coming to Thunderbird for the coffee, regulars highly recommend the honey-nut latte. But you can also order a classic espresso, Americano, or cappucino. Or perhaps you might want to indulge in a Thai iced coffee or Iced Toddy instead. Pair your coffee with a freshly baked treat from Quack's Bakery or Rockstar Bagels, a turkey-cranberry or tomato-basil sandwich, or a fully loaded salad.
