moonshine patio bar & grill

I’m pretty sure that moonshine patio bar and grille was made up of the combined dreams of Josh and Myself. It has this classic vibe, SERIOUS comfort food, hand made drinks even Don Draper would approve of, like an old-fashioned; not to mention popcorn (josh’s favorite thing) instead of bread waiting at your table when you arrive. The special that night was shrimp & grits, which is what I ordered and it was worth every penny. Josh got the chicken and waffles and he was a very happy man. I got a margarita and Josh got an old fashioned. There were no TV’s to distract us, making this an ideal date night destination.

We may have left weighing 1,000 pounds more than when we came in, but this place will change your life. We will be back.

Hillside Farmacy

After instagram stalking this lovely little eatery for months and months, I finally live close enough (read: in the same state) to actually eat there. Yay! Hillside Farmacy on East 11th in Austin is one of the greatest places I’ve ever eaten. The everything is local, come as you are, vibe isn’t uncommon here in Austin – but it’s executed to perfection here. It is so choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend it.

We will be back. Probably soon.

Some Dive

One thing is certain, here in Austin, there is no shortage of dive bars. I love it. So many little communities of beer connoisseurs, in their very own episode of cheers. I am also lucky enough that after a long day at the office, my husband still wants to hang out with me, and not just ‘the guys’ (who he will eventually have a very large local group of, I’m sure). So, the other night Josh picked me up after work, we drove around and found some bar, in a strip mall, that wasn’t very clearly named and just hung out. Had some drinks, deep fried foods, and awesome conversation.
I am a very very very lucky girl.
