"From the team behind Armadillo Den in South Austin, Dainty Dillo is a smaller version of the bar on East Cesar Chavez. There’s a small indoor area, but this is mostly an outdoor drinking situation, with a large patio overlooking the river. Much like at Armadillo Den, there’s a small menu of draft cocktails—including a few mocktails—plus a full bar and a kitchen run by Biggie’s Yardbird, where you can get smashburgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and cheesesteaks.

"Formerly Tillery, the new Govalle bar from the Armadillo Den team still features a beautiful sightline that includes the lush sloping landscapes and the Colorado River. The patio is perfect for lingering drinks. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler, Nadia Chaudhury
"I noted Dainty Dilly as the team’s newer East Austin bar, which they opened in February by taking over the former Tillery Kitchen space." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The team behind far south Austin bar Armadillo Den made their way into the Govalle neighborhood with this new bar in February 2024. On deck are loads of cocktails and beers in a space with great views. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Courtney E. Smith
"A smaller spin-off of a far-south Austin patio bar, this Govalle bar/restaurant at 3201 East Cesar Chavez Street occupies the former Tillery Bar and Kitchen and emphasizes an alfresco, Texas-nature vibe with an indoor dining room and a backyard that overlooks the Colorado River. It will serve cocktails, draft nonalcoholic drinks (with options to booze them up), beer, and an expanded food program supported by an on-site kitchen and a collaborating food truck, featuring Southern/Texan comfort items such as biscuits, nachos, loaded fries, patty melts, smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, chips and dips. Planned amenities include fire pits along the outside fence, a stage for live music, several TVs for sports, and murals by Austin artist Austin Cashell; it opens on Thursday, February 29, and will operate afternoons into late night with family-friendly hours until 6 p.m. on weekdays." - Nadia Chaudhury
