You’ve been waiting since you heard the news last summer and it’s finally here.
Yes, LT-ers, The Ginger Man is officially open for business at the Hill Country Galleria. The inviting open-air space will make you feel like you’ve stepped out of the hustle and bustle of Lakeway and into your favorite European pub.
The Ginger Man is an Austin original with a well-earned spot in the chronicles of beer history.
The Ginger Man first opened in Houston in 1985, and unlike every other American bar, they offered more than 70 beers on tap. Most places just served domestic brew with a few imports. In contrast, The Ginger Man served beer from around the world. And lots of it.
Yeah, that craft beer concept kinda exploded, huh? Call them the pioneers.
