Specials and Events are Always on Tap at Gibson Street Bar Near Lamar Union in Austin

September 5, 2014 by

With 16 craft beers and many more brews bottled up, Gibson Street Bar is a destination for beer lovers. This Austin establishment, though, has a lot more to offer. Patrons can enjoy a bite to eat as well as entertainment and specials that are offered every day of the week.

Stop by for Mustache Mondays to take advantage of special deals on cocktails and beer — if you sport a mustache. If you don't have an authentic mustache, the bar will provide you with a replica. Play Texas Trivia on Tuesdays or visit on Wednesdays to receive a free plate of cheese with your purchase of a half or full bottle of wine. On the weekends, the place's TVs draw football fans.

Food near Gibson Street Bar is provided by Luke's Inside Out, a food trailer that is located outside the bar. Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives stopped by back in 2012 and raved about the sandwiches. Since the place is so close to Lamar Union, it's easy to find out for yourself whether all the praise was deserved!

The Frisco: Burgers, Fries & Coconut Cream Pies Near Lamar Union

May 19, 2014 by

Fast food chains may have conquered the American countryside, but there is still room for a good old-fashioned local burger joint to prosper. Case in point: The Frisco, which has been serving up excellent hamburgers, fries, and milkshakes to Austin locals since 1953. With more than a half-century in business, you know that these guys have speedy service down to a science. The history of this place is pretty cool, too: It was opened by actor Harry Akin and was the first Austin restaurant to practice racial integration in its hiring.

Some of the specialties here include the awesome chopped steaks, made from specially-ground USDA sirloin, the exceptional deviled eggs, and of course the burgers, which are accented with the perfect combination of sweet pickle relish and “Frisco sauce.” Leave room for dessert, as the coconut cream pie here is out of this world. Portion sizes are huge, and prices are incredibly reasonable.

Don't miss it near Lamar Union.
