East Austin Bar St. Roch’s Closes Permanently Due to COVID-19 Pandemic - Eater Austin
"St. Roch’s Bar, located on 515 Pedernales Street, was a popular dive bar and crawfish restaurant in East Austin known for its New Orleans theme. It was a hub for New Orleans Saints fans, hosting watch parties for games, and conducted crawfish boils during the season. The closure was attributed to landlord issues and the COVID-19 pandemic. The bar was initially opened as the Double Down Lounge in 2010 and rebranded as St. Roch’s in 2011." - Nadia Chaudhury
