Woodland: a SoCo lounge of note

Posted by Patrick under Austin Spring Break

After strolling the length of South Congress looking for places to deposit our earnings (Andrea found a costume shop, which means more wacky hats), we found a pleasant surprise in Woodland.

The place is thoughtfully designed in a non-traditional wood theme, and definitely looks like it fits this ‘hood. The tonal paint on the shake single wall coverings behind Courtney is a clever counterpoint to the 4′x7′ pixellated mosaic tree wall art. The light fixtures are shrouded in large oak silhouettes.

Naturally, the tap list consists completely of beers from Live Oak Brewing here in Austin. I’m having the Big Bark Amber, an earthy beer with loads of flavor and a clean finish that makes me want to brew one when I get back to the A. Courtney is having the Liberation IPA, my mystery brew from last night. Anri is cozying up to a wheat beer to keep things breezy.

Next stop: Alamo Drafthouse!
