Lou’s Eastside

1900 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX

Lou's Eastside is the original location of the Lou's mini-chain, an outdoor counter-service spot on East Cesar Chavez Street built around rotisserie, sandwiches and frozen custard. The building still carries murals from its earlier life as Leal's tire shop, giving the patio a bit of neighborhood history most newer bars on the strip don't have. The patios are set up for lingering rather than a quick drink, with cornhole and giant Jenga alongside high-top seating up front and a more relaxed back patio further from the street. It's open daily from 9am to 10pm, Sunday through Friday.
