When Peche opened on Fourth in the old Malaga spot, I was excited to try some absinthe. Not because I have ever particularly cared about absinthe, but because who doesn’t want to try something entirely new? Right off, I loved the atmosphere. The wall behind the bar is library shelves of liquor with silver ladders…

I quote: “Free drinks and art viewing”
So said a friend of mine. About one of these events, but I can’t remember which. He had no idea Wednesday is the new Thursday this week and it is jam-packed with events. Wednesday Post-Work Agenda: 1) SHOP Join Austin designer Linda Asaf as she hosts her 4th Annual Austin Designer Sample Sale. Head to…
Thursday: Steak or Fashion?
Steak You might say the answer to that question divides along gender lines, but really, it’s a toss-up for me. Houston legend Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille hosts a Grand Opening dinner Thursday night with four courses and wine pairings from the restaurant’s exclusive private label. The restaurant is in the Norwood building where a bank…
Breakfast at Embellish
I don’t know who this Michele Whoever designer is, nor what she’s selling at this trunk show (er, um, jewelry). All I know is that I popped in to Embellish once just to see what it was all about, and I fell in love. I haven’t even had my nails done there and I still…
Tidbits or Tribeza? Tough Thursday!
I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting. Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off…
Rare magazine party tonight
Mondays rarely feature parties with free booze thrown by magazines, but today is an exception! Rare’s October “Food” launch party at Hyde Park Bar & Grill tonight from 6-8pm. Free tasty bites and cocktails during the party! (SOUTH Hyde Park Bar & Grill location on 4521 West Gate Blvd.)
Lanai’s Grand Opening!
So I’ve been talking about how awesome Lanai is and how you should go for awhile now … almost a month? But they’re finally hosting their Grand Opening party Thursday night! From 8-10pm, there will be free “tastings” of their signature cocktails and apps. At 10, the place morphs into “Shy Town Night” with DJ…
Drambuie Den Tonight & Tomorrow
TWO things to do on Tuesday?! Well, you could actually do this tonight too, as it runs both Monday and Tuesday. It seems like everyone is promoting this event, but then again, who doesn’t want to be a part of free drinks? Drambuie is doing up Pangaea both nights, but you know I love Austin…
Review: Parkside
Parkside came to Austin amidst much fanfare–how many nice restaurants are in the midst of the 6th Street strip? It also has a sweet rooftop patio. A friend of mine was in from Dallas and had met a friend of owner/executive chef Shawn Cirkiel who said he HAD TO GO, so we went a couple…
Daily Juice
Daily Juice is amazing. Expensive, but amazing. I’ve been meaning to write a post on them for awhile and just haven’t gotten around to it. But I just received an email alerting me that now they’re serving up Daily Juice cocktails on Thursdays at the Belmont. Ridiculously amazing. During SXSW, two friends and I went…
