Classic American food gets a modern makeover at Odd Duck, a popular spot for food and drinks in Austin. Located just around the corner from Lamar Union, the restaurant is a popular spot for foodies near and far. The restaurant started out as a trailer serving food from local farms to the people of Austin and has since blossomed into a brick-and-mortar restaurant serving the same delicious, local food for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The chefs get all their ingredients from local farms—everything from eggs and produce to meat and dairy products.

The menu changes with the farm’s demands, but restaurant guests can look forward to carefully curated menu items like grilled redfish, fried chicken, duck breast, and more. Choose from an assortment of delicious—and largely local—cocktails, beer, and wine to pair with your food. The restaurant is open daily, so check out Odd Duck this week!

Going to the movies is a time-honored tradition, and it’s always nice to make the experience a bit more special. If you live in the Austin area, check out Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to do just that. The movie theater is located just around the corner from Lamar Union Apartments and has options for dining and drinking while enjoying your movie. A full menu is available both at your seat in front of the big screen as well as at The Highball Restaurant right next door.

Throughout the course of June and July, Alamo Drafthouse presents its “Jaws on the Water” event. Guests can watch the 1975 thriller on a big outdoor screen while floating on an inner tube in an open body of water. Attendees can take part in the pre-movie beach party and enjoy food and drinks while they watch the film. If you’re opting for more of a classic theater experience, you can reserve tickets and seats for the theater on the Alamo Drafthouse's website.
