It’s Patio Season! Live music on the patio Sundays & Tuesdays at Hyde Park Bar & Grill south at Westgate, mid-March thru mid-Nov.

Presenting music is a double-edged sword.  It’s a pleasure because the phenomenal amount of talent in Central Texas means that we have some wonderful musical moments on our patio.  But there’s pain, too, because the limits of time & space & restaurants mean we can’t accommodate all the bands & artists we’d love to have play.

For the 2012 Season, we’re doing our best to balance long-time favorites with new choices.

Here’s what we have in mind:

1st Sunday of the Month – Wildcard — old favorites, new favorites or something completely different! Stay tuned …

2nd Sunday of the Month – Jazz - Calico Jazz Trio will play April / May / June

3rd Sunday of the Month – Bluegrass / Country / Americana – AirCargo

Last Sunday of the Month – Swing & Jazz — The Jitterbug Vipers!!

1st Tuesday of the Month – Bluesday / Jazzday Tuesday with Jimi Lee — his Bluesday Tuesday shows are a crowd favorite!

2nd Tuesday of the Month – Wildcard2 (same as above)

3rd Tuesday of the Month – Balcony TV Recommends … - we’ll feature bands recommended by our friends at the internationally-known viral music video show, Balcony TV.  (note: this is NOT taped)

Last Tuesday of the Month — Chicken Fried Chick-A-Thon – celebrating Texas women in music — the divine Miz Natalie Zoe will play with a featured guest each month Mar – May.

Hyde Park Bar & Grill is an Austin restaurant famous for our fries, a giant Fork, and friendly service. When you’re looking for a casual restaurant in Austin, a great place to eat, free WiFi, wine bar, desserts, burgers, vegetarian options, or a friendly bar, check out one of our two locations:  the original at 4206 Duval and the south location at 4521 Westgate in the Central Market south shopping center, close to Yoga Yoga, Whole Earth, Amy’s Ice Cream and Regal Movie Theatre.

Get your Bluegrass fix every 3rd Sunday with AirCargo.

Enjoy the hot picking and lush harmonies of AirCargo on the 3rd Sunday of each month from now for awhile on .....

AirCargo is the trio of music prodigies Ray Cargo, Randy Collier and Kevin Willette.

They perform pure acoustic music of bluegrass influence and instrumentation.

Between the 3 of them, they have a combined one hundred twenty-five years of musicianship.  (These are the kind of guys who can play anything with strings. And, with Randy being the former president of the Old Settlers Music Festival, we figure he knows a thing or two about music.)

So come on by, 7 to 9 pm on the 3rd Sunday of each month from now until we decide not to do it anymore! (or until it gets cold in November, whichever happens first)

We have a business crush on Treehouse, our new neighbor in the Central Market South Shopping Center at Westgate.

Get 10% off from our new BFF at Westgate Central Market Shopping Center

Not only is Treehouse  just the kind of new neighbor you want to have — eco-friendly, smart, helpful with stuff around the house, but they’re also offering you, our customer, 10% off.    Read on …..

The Treehouse in Austin is the first in what we hope will be a national string of home improvement stores in which all products are healthy, sustainable, perform as advertised, and come from companies who practice corporate responsibility.

We like that.  If that sounds like something you’d like, too, we have even better news:

Starting Feb 8, we’ll be giving out a 10% discount to Treehouse with your check at both Hyde Park Bar & Grill locations. And you’d better hurry, because the offer is good only while supplies last!

Thanksgiving is all about tradition and in Austin, a tradition that’s been carried on for more than 20 years is Thanksgiving at Hyde Park Bar & Grill.   We’ve been doing this almost as long as the girl in the picture has been carrying that bird.

We serve up turkey and all the trimmings, you come in with your family, friends, loved ones, not-so-loved ones, whomever …eat and enjoy.  No dishes to wash, no fretting over a turkey, no getting the fancy tablecloth off the top shelf of the closet — just great food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Thanksgiving Day Feast

Both Locations

11am to 7pm

$16.95 regular, $12.95 vegetarian, special price for the lil’ darlings who are 10 and under!

The Fork is on a mission to raise at least $500 towards Movember’s campaign for men’s health awareness. Once his team reaches the $500 mark, he’ll get the iconic Movember ‘stache installed!
