Classic British Pub. Tons of draft beer. Fish and chips, scotch eggs, bangers and mash, bubble and squeak, you name it they've probably got it.

Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors
1111 Chicon StOne of the best food trailers in Austin. Breakfast centric but nothing on the menu is standard fare so just go, you'll be happy you did. Open from 7AMish until 2PM. If you can't decide what to get, order the BEC. And if they have an agua fresca on the menu I wouldn't pass it up! In fact I might order two.
Tell them Zach and Julie sent you and that we say hi!
