Last Straw

"Last Straw, a colorful bar that opened in August 2018, had been temporarily closed since March 2020 due to the pandemic. It won Eater Austin’s bar of the year award in 2018 and had a brief period of selling to-go cocktails and hosting Asian cocktail pop-up Daijoubu’s month-long market before permanently closing." - Nadia Chaudhury

"It has everything I would ever want: fun boozy cocktails, the plentiful bento box, the study onigiri, the mala skillet potatoes and Chinese five-spice chicken wings, and, yes, that naan croissant." - Erin Russell

"A bar where Chef Johnny Romo was the founding chef before teaming up with Shannon Sedwick and Michael Shelton." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Last Straw screens GoT on their big screen and offers drink specials during the show." - Nina Hernandez

"When: Monday - Thursday 5-7pm The Deal: $5 select drinks, $3 Modelo, $5-8 snacks Whether you’re running away from all of your unopened emails or running away from going home to your roommate who wants to talk about why you consistently eat their groceries, Last Straw is your escape. The beachy vibes and tiki drinks will make you feel like you are on PTO, even though you still have to return to the fluorescent lights and communal hummus of your office tomorrow." - Adele Hazan
