"Higher Ground, a new religious-themed bar and restaurant, will open at 720 Congress Avenue in downtown Austin across from the Paramount Theatre in July. It will offer Italian small plates and cocktails, including items like a porchetta sandwich and themed drinks. The decor features church pews, stained glass, and an organ-turned-DJ-booth." - Erin Russell
