"A downtown hotel dining option serving an especially cozy green-chile mac and cheese that reads like a large, warming side — cheesy, spicy, and satisfying enough to feel like a full comforting dish." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A downtown hotel celebrating its 100-year anniversary is reviving a historic restaurant pop-up called the Austin, presenting dishes from across the past century at the bar and terrace space on Thursday, April 11 and Thursday, April 25 from 4 to 7 p.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A 1920s-themed pop-up is running every Thursday in April at the Stephen F. Austin Royal Sonesta’s Bar & Terrance; I saw the menu leans on classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds, Corpse Reviver No. 2s, and antique Bees Nees, plus food such as Gulf blue crab salad with spring peas, smoked pork tamales, warm marinated olives, and even Dominican cigars, all inspired by the hotel’s actual 1920s menus." - Nadia Chaudhury
"At the Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel I noticed several Film & TV industry happy hours (presented by TXAFC, Drafthouse Films, Cast & Crew, and Vimeo) that serve as networking mixers with free drinks for Platinum, Film, and TV badgeholders, typically running from 5 to 7 p.m.; it felt like the go-to downtown spot for industry professionals to mingle." - H. Drew Blackburn
"The Texas Democratic Party and Travis County Democratic Party are hosting its official watch party at a new location this year at the downtown hotel, with several candidates in attendance. It starts at 7 p.m. There are free RSVPs." - Nadia Chaudhury
