Second Bar + Kitchen

"While the original Second Bar + Kitchen on Second Street might not exist anymore, its memory—and many of its signature menu items—still live on at the Austin airport (there’s also a location on the East Side). That means you can still get dishes like the “Congress burger” (very much not on Congress Avenue) plus lighter dishes like the cold soba salad with grilled chicken. Maybe if this location sticks around for a while, we’ll be talking about the signature “airport pizza” in a few years.  Located near Gate 16 " - nicolai mccrary

"The Austin-born-and-grown New American restaurant mini-chain expanded into the airport after its original one closed in 2020. This airport iteration is the best place for a good cocktail, from a Negroni to the choose-your-own-spirit Painted Mule to a bloody mary. Food-wise, there’s a solid grab-and-go menu and a full menu." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The original downtown location of Second Bar + Kitchen shuttered back in 2020—the Domain and ABIA locations are still rolling—and now there’s a location at the East Austin Hotel on East 6th. The menu will be largely the same as the original, including fan favorites like the Black + Bleu pizza and the Congress Burger (that might need a renaming, eventually). " - Nicolai McCrary

"There are still two other Second Bar locations in Austin: the second in the Domain Northside within the Archer Hotel (which opened in 2016), and the third in the Austin Bergstrom-International Airport (which opened in 2017). Both are remaining open for dine-in and takeout services at this time." - Nadia Chaudhury
