Famed for its comforting Southern fare and vibrant live music scene, this cherished Austin spot was a go-to for hearty meals and soulful Sunday brunches.
"Historic Austin comfort food restaurant, bar, and music venue Threadgill’s is now closed permanently, as reported by the Chronicle and confirmed by its Facebook page. The Brentwood restaurant had stayed open for takeout and delivery service during the novel coronavirus pandemic in March, but then decided to stop three days later." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Iconic South Austin spot Threadgill’s, known for music and chicken fried steaks, is finally shuttering its 301 West Riverside Drive location after owner Eddie Wilson tried to keep the restaurant alive for several years amidst increasing rent, property taxes, and insurance costs. It will close sometime after Thanksgiving in November. This shutter doesn’t affect the original Threadgill’s location up on 6416 North Lamar Boulevard, which will remain open." - Nadia Chaudhury
