A common misconception about the Cloak Room is that it remains an exclusive speakeasy in a clandestine locale ripe for shadowy political dealings. But the classic dive bar isn’t all that hard to find. For starters, it has spent more than four decades in plain view of the Texas Capitol, which sits across the street. Moreover, the large sign bearing the bar’s name on the outside wall and the image of a hand pointing directly to the front door should answer any question about whether or not it’s trying to hide. In fact, searching for downing parking might be the main quest necessary for a trip to ..read more

Our city’s love affair with great taco joints and vibey speakeasies has been well documented. Now, the two worlds have finally collided. In a back alley off Trinity Street, between Second and Third Streets, an unassuming rusty metal door leads to a hidden world of well-crafted libations and savory tacos.
Taquería 10 de 10 is the restaurant component of a compound that also includes ReyRey (the diminutive bar that serves as the entry), Roma (a brand-new nightclub that opened in February), and Reina (a sultry rooftop bar). Patrons step out of the alley directly into ReyRey, which features hip ac ..read more

In March 2020, Sue Kim-Drohomyrecky landed in the capital city on behalf of Chicago-based restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You to help launch Aba Austin. Two weeks later, the world shut down. While the pandemic spurred a wave of innovative food trucks and pop-ups, the 30-year hospitality veteran noticed that many of these small businesses lacked the support to succeed. Inspired to help, she reached out to her sister-in-law, business consultant Katie Kim, with a mission: create a food incubator for fledgling concepts to take flight.

When Buster Cooey lands his searing cube of steel onto a 375-pound anvil, there is a word in mind: chatoyance. To achieve this wavy strata, the artisan has up to five minutes to hammer, pull, stretch, and compress hot sheets of alloy into his envisioned aesthetic. Once cooled, he cuts the forged rectangle, stacks the pieces again into a billet, and sends them back into the fire—much like a pastry chef layers dough to form a croissant. In the face of a raging 2,150-degree furnace, the pattern Cooey conjures is typically invisible, only revealed once submerged in a ferric chloride solution ..read more
