Scholz Garten, Austin

Since 1866 this restaurant and pub, just up the street from the Capitol, has been privy to many “real deals” put together by the state’s movers and shakers. University of Texas students, and their visiting parents, too, have enjoyed the menu mix of bratwurst, sauerkraut, and downhome staples like chicken-fried steak.

The beer garden is a favorite, especially with the after-work crowd; it also hosts many special events and post-Longhorn game celebrations.
