Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill

A remarkable relic from Austin's early days, this historic mid-1850s building now houses a large and deservedly popular restaurant, serving upscale Southern-flavored comfort food like shrimp and grits or chicken-fried steak. Happy hour sees half-price appetizers, and there’s a lavish Sunday brunch buffet ($20). Dine indoors or beneath the pecan trees on the patio.
