Cain & Abel's

"It’s behind the relocation of campus bar Cain & Abel’s." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Although 32-year-old campus bar Cain & Abel’s closed earlier this spring, it has reopened in a nearby new location this month. The relocated Cain & Abel is now found still in the West Campus neighborhood, but now at 907 West 24th Street as of August 21. Cain & Abel had to move from its original location of 2313 Rio Grande Street because the building was demolished to make way for the University of Texas at Austin student housing. It had its last day of service at Rio Grande at the end of April. Owner Ellis Winstanley had always planned on moving and reopening the bar after its shutter. The new location — nicknamed Abel’s Dos — remains essentially the same. There are very boozy Texas teas, cocktails, beers, happy hour, and general food like chicken tenders, sliders, tacos, and salads. Its hours are from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., and it opens at 9 a.m. when there are University of Texas at Austin Longhorn football games." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Campus bar Cain & Abel’s is going to close at the end of April because of a forthcoming development. The building is going to be demolished for student housing. The owner plans on moving the business into a yet-to-be-disclosed location, which will open before the original bar closes." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The standby campus bar closed on April 28 because its building was demolished to make way for student housing. Owner Ellis Winstanley is planning on moving the bar elsewhere." - Nadia Chaudhury

"West Campus bar Cain & Abel’s might be demolished for student housing if a new development plan is approved. The bar, which opened in 1991, is currently operated by Ellis Winstanley who bought it in 2002. The lease isn't up for several years." - Nadia Chaudhury
