Jules Design Bar

Everything Is for Sale at New Austin Interior Design Store and Bar | Eater Austin

"Located in the Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave at 12700 Hill Country Boulevard, this combination interior design store and bar opened in December. The lounge specializes in wines and whiskeys (though there is a full bar) and offers craft cocktails like the Waterloo Fashioned (Waterloo gin, St. Germain, orange bitters, Richard’s Sparkling Rainwater) and the Austin Old Fashioned (Texas whiskey, Peychaud bitters, and rosemary-infused simple syrup). A small “sticks and picks” food menu includes items such as pickle wraps, salad sticks, and Rumchata cheesecake bites. Because it doubles as an interior design shop, everything is for sale—from lighting and furniture to bar glasses—reflecting owner Julie Smith’s retail-by-day, bar-by-night concept; she also plans to offer workshops and host events. Hours are approximately 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 10 p.m. on Sunday, and their website (www.julesdesignbar.com) lists design and lifestyle class schedules. It's a fun place to shop for home furnishings, art, lighting and gifts while enjoying specialty wines, whiskeys and craft cocktails." - Erin Russell
