Now open

Granny’s Tacos

Establishing its first brick-and-mortar, Granny’s Tacos now features a new coffee bar, dining room and lounge. Patrons can expect Mexican cafe favorites, including an assortment of tacos, burritos, tortas and more. Loyal fans can still visit the original food truck, which continues to operate at the same location.

Fitcidence

After operating for four years as a pop-up studio, Fitcidence is now open in Austin. The studio offers fitness classes that combine dance with cardio, strength and more. Every workout at the studio is based on the beat of the music played.

Micklethwait Craft Meats Barbecue

After 12 years of serving barbecue from a food trailer, Micklethwait Barbecue moved into a brick-and-mortar. Founded by Tom Micklethwait, the menu offers a variety of Texas barbecue, and was awarded with a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide in late 2024.

Coming soon

Bathe Austin

A new bath house is being brought to Austin by co-founders Danyl and Lisa Magick. The two-story bath house and spa will feature a dry sauna, salt cave, steam room, sound lounge and more.

Radius Butcher & Grocery

Replacing the former Salt & Time Butcher Shop and Restaurant, Radius will continue to offer locally sourced products. The grocer will source food from some of the same farms Salt & Time did previously, but will not include a restaurant in-store. Instead, Radius will also offer produce, grains, eggs, cheeses and seafood.

BARk House Social

An off-leash neighborhood dog park in east Austin, BARk House Social will house a dog park, cafe and bar. The private dog park and social club offers luxury amenities for patrons via membership, starting at $45 a month.

In the news

F45 Training

Plans have stalled for a training facility in east Austin offering high-intensity 45-minute workouts. According to a spokesperson for the company, the construction has been delayed due to city requirements. At this time, there is not a timeline for opening the east location; however, the fitness program has other locations in central and south Austin.

Closings

The Lost Well

Billed as “the friendliest bar you’ve ever been too scared to walk into,” Austin’s iconic rock ‘n’ roll and metal venue closed its doors this fall after 11 years in business. The closure followed the landlord’s decision not to renew the lease as the property was being sold, according to an employee’s social media post. The venue’s team has since launched an online merch shop and is actively searching for a new location.
