Uchibā Austin

Uchiba is the izakaya-inspired cocktail bar and restaurant from the team behind Uchi, set on the ground floor of a downtown Austin building on West Second Street. The menu runs through yakitori grill items, sushi, and shareable plates alongside a deep list of Japanese whiskies and sake, aimed at a slower, drink-forward pace rather than a quick meal. The space pairs a sizable sidewalk patio with interior seating along the bar, giving riders a more upscale option than the bar-crawl strips nearby if they want to sit down for food and cocktails downtown. Valet parking is offered during dinner service, and the kitchen runs a split lunch-and-dinner schedule most days of the week.
