Lou's Barton Springs
1608 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX
Lou's Barton Springs is a counter-service restaurant and bar just south of downtown Austin, a short ride from Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool, built around rotisserie chicken, burgers and frozen custard. It's the newer sibling location to the original Lou's on Cesar Chavez, sharing the same roadside-classics approach to the menu.
The patio setup has TVs running live sports and a full bar including frozen cocktails, making it a natural stop before or after a swim at Barton Springs. It keeps a weekday happy hour from 4 to 6pm and is dog-friendly for anyone stopping with a riding companion.
