Because who said Dry January had to be boring? We’re fully on board with Dry-Aged January and this steak + cocktail moment was unreal.
The prime dry-aged ribeye paired with Garrison Brothers small-batch honeydew bourbon is smoky, rich, and perfectly balanced. The bourbon has warm caramel, honey, and toasted sugar notes that pair so well with the steak, which we ordered medium rare.
We also added the trio of butters (the truffle butter was insane), plus chipotle cheddar mac & cheese on the side. And obviously… chocolate lava cake to finish.
✨ Available at the Fleming’s bar all January long
💵 Steak + Old Fashioned pairing: $90 per guest
Great food, great service, and cozy bar vibes!

We recently checked out, a new restaurant + bar where beer, wine, and cocktails are all on tap. Skip the wait and pour your own drink using their pour pass 🙌
The food menu was just as impressive—think burgers, pasta, and crispy brussel sprouts. We had to try the dessert flight, which lets you sample all three of their seasonal desserts 🤤
They also offer fun flight options like margaritas and iced coffee ☕️🍹
With tons of TVs for game day, this spot is perfect before or after events at the Moody Center—or an easy walk to DKR for football 🏈
We found this spot on, where you can discover new Austin restaurants and local deals. Note we visited over the holiday break so that’s why it wasn’t as crowded.

Hi, I’m Rachel—founder of and longtime Austinite (15 years and counting!). I first moved here to attend The University of Texas (HOOK ’EM 🤘) and quickly fell in love with the city’s vibrant, creative energy.
What started as a fun food diary on Instagram became one of Austin’s very first food pages—and over the past 11 years, it’s grown into something so much more. I’m now a full-time creator, proud mom to an almost 4-year-old, and lucky to share my favorite spots in Austin + the Hill Country with this amazing community. 💛
To everyone who’s been here since the early days and to all the new faces—thank you. I’m so grateful you’re here and can’t wait to keep sharing fabulous Austin recommendations with you.
