1106 E 11th St, Austin, TX 78702, USA Get directions
Tucked into a small space on East 11th in East Austin, Hippie PicNik serves German and European-leaning fare in an intimate, low-key setting. Note the limited schedule—it's open only midweek, with separate lunch and dinner seatings, so it's worth planning your visit around those windows rather than dropping in.

Austin
Cosmic Pickle wears a lot of hats in South Austin's 78704, shifting from a morning coffee stop to a beer garden and casual food spot as the day goes on, with indoor and outdoor space to match. Come early for a quiet cup or later for a drink under the trees — it's the kind of all-day spot that suits whatever pace you're in the mood for.
Austin
Alamo Drafthouse's Mueller location keeps the chain's signature formula intact: you order food and craft cocktails right from your seat, delivered quietly mid-film, while a strict no-talking, no-texting policy keeps the room focused on the screen. Beyond first-run releases, it's worth checking the calendar for themed screenings, quote-alongs, and the pre-show reels of vintage clips that Alamo curates instead of commercials.
Pflugerville
Just off I-35 in Pflugerville, Austin's packs go-karts, bowling lanes, mini golf, batting cages, and a sprawling arcade under one roof, with a bar and grill to regroup between rounds. It's the kind of all-in-one spot families and groups land on for a rainy afternoon or a birthday, where you can bounce from the track to the lanes without ever moving the car.
