Memorial Day Weekend in Austin Is Loaded with Great Parties, Drinks, and Food
In a bustling city like Austin, it can be tough to keep up with all the changes at local restaurants — noteworthy specials, limited-time deals, pop-ups, and menu changes abound. This weekly guide highlights the coolest things, major changes, and exciting events at some of Austin's best restaurants . It's summer, babe, and Zilker Brewing Co. is having a party Kick off the longest season in Texas, summer, with a Summer Kickoff Party at Zilker Brewing Co. on Sunday, May 25, from noon until 5 p.m. at 1701 East 6th Street in Austin. In addition to the usual offerings of cold beers, icy cool and frozen cocktails, and bites, look for drink specials including $2 Jello shots and $15 mini-pitchers of Woo Girl Punch (a pineapple fruited blonde beer with tequila and lime). Food trucks Spicy Boys and Patty Place will be on site with the usual menus of fried chicken sandwiches and burgers. For something a little different, Zilker invites visitors to shop around at a pop-up market featuring Cousin Kenny's, Third Round Vintage, Lucky Pup Vintage, and Playtime Vintage. DJ Mr. Brown Sounds will be spinning through the afternoon. Or maybe a summer pool party at Cloud Bar is more your style The Omni Downtown is ready to roll, with Summer Saturdays returning this year with a Memorial Day weekend launch on Saturday, May 24, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 700 San Jacinto in Austin. Head to the rooftop pool and grab a drink at Cloud Bar.

On the menu for its inaugural part of the season are burgers, kabobs, and brats, with complimentary frozen treats (we'll guess those are popsicles?). More top-shelf fare will be offered, including plates of tangy mango and habanero sea bass ceviche and an elevated Fra' Mani ham and cheese sandwich. Purchase a $25 day pass through ResortPass, or reserve daybeds and cabanas for groups at an additional cost.
