Get cocktails at Garage

Filming this Nudge, I loved how easy it was but how fancy I felt.

You’ll get tapas for dinner and follow it with cocktails at a speakeasy.

First, head inside the Scarbrough and straight into a Wes Anderson film.

This place was built over 100 years ago and

it was cool to see all the little bits of history.

Grab a seat at the bar and talk to Chef Marco and his chefs.

I personally love hearing how passionate they are and it shows in their food.

They have the only Fremantle octopus in Austin, and the dish was delish!

After that, head right around the corner to Garage bar.

but when in doubt, just look for the blue sign. It wasn't too hard to snag a spot,

plus the vibes were the perfect mix of crowded but cozy.

All you have to do is share this plan with a friend for your next night out.

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year, and I love holiday-themed bars and restaurants.

It's about a 3 minute walk from the Dead Rabbit.

They have a scenic rooftop patio with TVs so you can watch sports.

They often bring in performers to play live music as well.
