Easy Tiger
A pioneer in the effort to class up Waller Creek, this German biergarten-inspired bakery-cum-gastropub specializes in handcrafted breads and pastries (gotta love that spicy Tiger Claw) from head doughpuncher David Norman, and sausages, mustards, and delectable pastrami from the creative and ambitious chef Drew Curren. A meticulously curated selection of whiskeys and beers rounds out the sophisticated-yet-casual ethos.
