"Walking onto the patio at Yellow Jacket in East Austin feels like entering some haunted forest with scraggly barren trees jutting out from the earth every few feet. Except instead of being somewhere you want to escape, you’ll want to grab a drink and post up on the patio. Yellow Jacket is a dive bar, through and through. But their kitchen seems to have missed the memo, which means that in addition to cheap drinks, you’ll also be able to order things like mezze boards, roasted sweet potatoes with curry masala mayo, and a ham and gruyere sandwich that will probably creep into your dreams. Show up on the weekends to order off a special brunch menu. " - nicolai mccrary, chelsea bucklew, katherine lewin
