So many restaurants and bars on the East side. Some of the hippest places in town are in this area
They don't just have juice but that's the reason I come here. I had something that has blue spirullina in it. Healthy and excellent quality

I'm told that a lot of people enjoy going from Ramen Tatsu-Ya to next door Domo Alley Gato. They pair well together and are owned by the same people.

I have eaten here for years and they continue to put out some of the best food I have ever eaten. It's very Austin funky without an attitude and the food is great quality. Breakfast all day but so much selection of different styles of food. Check out their Chef's specials of the day. They are alway unique and awesome!

discovered this place after Sawyer & Co. right across the street was just too busy. Someone had told me about it and we decided to give it a try. It is just about a mile from the house. They have interior bar seating but it has a really nice outdoor courtyard. Their food is very unique in that the ingredients are varied and interesting. They have tortas and tacos along with appetizers. I personally like The Lucille the best but I haven't had one thing I didn't like. While working on the remodel of The Mermaid House, this place became a great break moment for me.

Sawyer is a great place for all day breakfast or hamburger. They have a bit of a cajun flair since they serve boudain sausage and Brabant potatoes. The vibe here is very mid century and relaxed.
Only about 1 mile from The Mermaid House on East Cesar Chavez.
