HALCYON (Hal-see-yon): adj - Peaceful, Carefree, Untroubled. Coffeehouse by day, bar & lounge by night, Halcyon is where you can always relax and find your own personal “halcyon”. So what is your Halcyon? Relaxing on our couches with a book? Sharing some S’Mores with friends? People watching on the porch with a beer or glass of wine? The perfect cappuccino? Meeting some friends for happy hour? Surfing the web while procrastinating your work? Quick lunch getaway with gourmet paninis and salads? Halcyon has it all.
Bess Bistro
500 West Sixth Street
512 477 BESS (2377)
http://www.bessbistro.com/
Originally the Stratford Apartments built in 1918, the vintage building’s old bank vault is Bess’ kitchen, a treasury of great food, today. Where coins and currency were once counted out, carefully selected beers, wines and liquors are served from a stunning pewter bar custom-made in Montbazon. The menu deliberately defies classification. Creole inspired Shrimp Bess beckons comfortably beside Croque Monsieur. Filet Mignon tantalizes… Shepherd’s Pie tempts. Natural, organic and light offerings are right at home with old fashioned Mac & Cheese and a Lamb rack. The menu’s common thread is the passion of the chef.
The Dog and Duck Pub
406 West 17th Street
512.479.0598
http://www.dogandduckpub.com/index.html
As Austin’s premier pub, The Dog and Duck has been consistently recognized as one of the best place for chugs and chomps in Austin since they opened their doors in 1990. Their extensive beer selection is matched only by their menu, which features everything from pub classics, such as their renowned Fish ‘n’ Chips and juicy burgers to homemade falafel and killer veggie burgers for their less carnivorous clientele. Back to the beer: they stock over 40 local and national draft selections and 30 in bottles and cans, so they’ve got something to sate even the pickiest palates. Their daily drink specials and lunch deals will make sure you leave with something in your stomach, and your wallet. With both inside and outside seating, they’re a favorite destination for families, students, professionals, group gatherings, and everyone in between with a passion for big laughs, good drinks, and satisfying meals. Last but not least, they rock a legendary jukebox.
