Thanks for checkin' out The Little Darlin' ::: Serving Austin since April 22, 2016! The team of owners- Mimi Rose (co-owner of Yellow Jacket Social Club), Mike Sanchez (Emo's- back in its 'hay day'), Brian Buscemi (Emo's, Buzzmill, Midway Field House) and Karinne Thornblom (former owner Clementine Coffee Bar, Black Star Co-op) collectively wanted to create an inviting bar, serving excellent, lo

cally sourced food, aspiring to preserve a piece of the city that reflects the beautiful, progressive 'melting pot,' that is their/our beloved Austin. With a huge outdoor patio, folks can sip on local, craft beers and cocktails, chow down on locally sourced, delicious, southern flare food, while swinging on a bench swing or parkin' it at a picnic table. We have ring toss, dart boards, and pool tables, ready for some friendly competition;)

***ALL ORDERS ARE PLACED AT THE BAR*** food orders will receive a number, and our friendly staff will zip it out to you and your pie-hole as soon as it's ready.

*** Dogs are happily welcomed, as long as both owner and pup(s) mind their manners ;) You will be asked to enter via the outdoor gate (to the right of the entrance) to escort your 4-legged friend out back. ***

*** We are a bar, so all minors must be accompanied by a parent/ legal guardian at all times. After 9 PM, we are strictly 21+ ***

Seating is first come, first serve- we do not take reservations. For parties of 50+, tables/ space may be reserved with a deposit. We're happy to help accommodate any additional requests as best as possible. Please feel free to message us here, via FB, or email us at [email protected]. We hope to become your Little Darlin' soon
