In the old Mother Egan’s spot next door to Molotov, the brothers bachelor (Brad, Chad, & Wes Womack) and partner Jason Carrier have reinvented the pub with a distinctly Southern flare. They’ve been open…

Gibson, the new bar on South Lamar
I hear Gibson is the new place to be … With superstar bar-ier (restaurant has restauranteur, finance has financier, what do bars have? bar-ier? bareur?) Matt Luckie at the helm, South Lamar’s Gibson is already a hotspot, in part because its Trailer addition serves some of the most decadent, unhealthy fare you could possibly imagine.…
Scaled Nights Out
Many people would call CrossFit an inside joke. Though it is simply a style of working out, its gyms and clients are notoriously cult-ish, while the sport itself has its own terminology — WOD? AMRAP?

New Happy Hour: Malverde
Just in time for afternoon fun, Malverde introduces a Happy Hour!
So you want to go to happy hour?
Because I’m thinking of it today. Gingerman Through my exhaustive (and exhausting) SXSW research, I stumbled upon a party serving Vermont’s Magic Hat beer–to which I got super-excited, Twittered about, turns out Magic Hat is ON TWITTER, found me, and let me know that they actually already distribute Magic Hat down here! So some research…
