Cheers to New Beginnings: Parley Irish Pub Opens Its Doors in East Austin
East Austin’s culinary scene just welcomed a unique addition: Parley, a chic Irish pub launched by local mixology veterans Terance Robson and Jack “Slim” Hogan. This vibrant gathering place opened its doors on December 19, and it’s situated at 1628 E. Cesar Chavez St. With an ambiance that embraces the classic conviviality of a traditional Irish pub, Parley aims to be more than just a bar—it's envisioned as a community hub.
The Heart of the Pub: Innovative Cocktails and Community Spirit
One of the standout features at Parley is its thoughtfully curated cocktail menu, where drinks range from $10 to $16. Unique concoctions like the Golden Brown (blending milk whiskey with spent coffee) and the delicious frozen “Finding Memo” (a gelato-inspired beverage with Guinness) showcase the innovative approach of its mixologists. As Robson notes, the pub is about gathering, fostering connections, and nurturing community—principles that are at the heart of Parley.
Beyond drinks, the founders are collaborating with Idlewild to create a morning espresso bar, while Oseyo will provide pub-style dishes and snacks. This synergy between businesses underlines the spirit of collaboration that defines the local culture in Austin.
Creating a Neighborhood Hub: Programming and Community Connection
Parley's vision extends beyond serving drinks; they aim to create programming that’s inclusive and engaging for the community. Plans for Newcastle United watch parties, wellness-focused gatherings, and a weekly run club showcase their commitment to neighborhood involvement. As the new year approaches, Parley will also host New Year’s Eve celebrations from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. on key holidays.
This pub is not just about drinks; it’s about bringing people together for a shared experience. It’s a place where both industry regulars and local residents can cross paths and build connections.
Round Rock Food Scene Expands with New Culinary Offerings
In addition to Parley, the greater Austin area is buzzing with fresh flavors. Two new Georgian businesses recently opened in Round Rock, featuring a grocery store and a restaurant that highlight the unique cuisine from the region. This entry not only adds to the area's culinary diversity but also reinforces connections within the community, enriching local culture.
