Easter Brunch 2016: Lake Travis and Beyond

Written by Mandy Spivey | March 21, 2016

Easter is one special time of the year.

Depending on your particular family festivities, your day might involve some or all aspects of the following:

Going to church
Looking for Easter bunnies
Egg hunts around the house
Consuming way too many sugary Peeps
A feast of chocolate Easter bunnies
Wearing all of the pastels in the house
A ginormous brunch or lunch

Somehow, whether I am home with family for Easter Sunday, or if I’m just hanging around at my house on March 27th this year, I know one thing is for sure. I’m going to be in that line for brunch come lunch time, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to compile this year’s list of places to go for Easter brunch.

From tacos to BBQ, from sandwiches to brunch buffets — Lake Travis has quite the selection of food options to satisfy even the hungriest Easter eaters. And since the area has been growing so much lately, we have a few new restaurants for you to try out. Don’t be afraid to get adventurous with your taste buds this year.

Written by Elaine Heng | March 9, 2016

With the openings of all the new restaurants in the Lake Travis area, Oasthouse Gastropub will have a good chance of making it on your list as one of the newest local favorites.

Oasthouse Gastropub serves up locally sourced, melt-in-your-mouth, upscale pub food. As soon as you walk up to the joint, you’ll be greeted by warm smiles and clean cut staff members.

The aesthetic details of the restaurant are designed tastefully chic — welcoming, cozy, and elegant. You will take notice of the re-purposed wood tables and Edison light bulbs floating above the dining floor. The view through a wall of glass allows you to see all of the action taking place in the kitchen.

Happy Hour Specials in Lakeway and Bee Cave

Written by Alicia Autrey | March 3, 2016

There are plenty of reasons to be happy about living in the Lake Travis area. And plenty of places for you to find happy hour specials.

Happy hour is a great time to gather with friends after a day in the office … or a day with your kids. Unwind with some food and drink. And it’s usually the best time to save some money while you’re at it.

Happy hour is special. There’s a history about where the term “Happy Hour” comes from and it’s hard to believe that 23 states have banned happy hour. Fortunately, that’s not the case here in the Lake Travis area.
