Party on the Lawn

Austin is a city where we like to get outdoors no matter the season. There's nothing like a party under a Texas sunset, and we have the outdoor event space to bring pure magic to life. Gather on the Lawn for celebrations and occasions alike, and enjoy craft cocktails from the Airstream bar and the delicious bites our on-site dining has to offer.

We have bold style, floor-to-ceiling windows with beaming natural light, and intimate spots for chatting with new and old friends alike. Trust us, this is the true Texas energy you want at your next party.
