Texas French Bread
512/499-0544
This longtime family-owned business has evolved into a cozy bistro with changing weekly menus that showcase the local farm-to-table meats and produce alongside the traditional fresh bread. A devastating fire in January 2022 destroyed the building, but TFB has returned to local farmers markets as of summer 2022.

Alamo Drafthouse Village
The longest continuously operated Drafthouse, the Alamo Drafthouse Village opened in 2001 on Anderson Lane before Anderson Lane was cool. The four-screen cinema specializes in first-run features, with Sony 4K digital projection allowing for both RealD 3D and 48 FPS screenings. Plus, with much of the American Genre Film Archive stored here, it also has 35mm screenings. A recent revamp added new padded chairs and shared tables for food and drink from the Drafthouse’s extensive menu delivered during screenings, and a new patio adds outdoor drinking from the bar.
