Carpenters Hall

Carpenters Hall is the on-site restaurant at the Carpenter Hotel, 400 Josephine St in Austin, set inside the restored 1948 Carpenters Local 1266 union hall that anchors the boutique hotel near Zilker Park. The restaurant serves a Mediterranean-inspired menu that changes with the seasons. It offers weekend brunch from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a daily happy hour from 2 to 5 p.m. ahead of nightly dinner service. Because it's part of a hotel property near Zilker Park, it works well as a sit-down food and drink stop for riders looking for something more polished than a typical bar on the way through South Austin.
