Austin Restaurant Elementary and Wine Bar Hopscotch Open on South Lamar | Eater Austin
"At 2032 South Lamar Boulevard this casual walk-in wine bar emphasizes wine and cocktails with a compact, playful program and smaller plates. Bottles will be available for retail purchase, and the cocktail list includes mini offerings called “Lil Sips,” a Rhubarb Snaquiri made with rabarbaro amaro, and the Bee Stang (Suntory Toki with Asian pears, shio koji, allspice, and Topo Chico), plus novelty formats like mini versions and Capri‑Sun–style pouches. Food focuses on small plates and New American–ish snacks that repurpose ingredients and parts not used at the neighboring restaurant to approach near zero-waste. The same trio of co-owners (Colter Peck, Chris Arial, and Allan Bautista) renovated the space themselves—previously home to Tiny Pies and, before that, Lick Honest Ice Creams—and there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas. Hours are 4–11 p.m. daily for walk-ins, and the wine bar was noted as remaining open even if the adjacent restaurant later closed." - Nadia Chaudhury
