State of the Scene
Austin engineered its social life around drinking outside: sprawling brewery yards, gravel patios strung with lights, food trucks parked at the fence line. Jester King's Hill Country farm sets the standard, and in-town yards like Meanwhile, Banger's, and Cosmic prove a good backyard is Austin's favorite architecture.
