As we approach Thanksgiving, bars across Austin announce their plans to open on the 23rd, for locals and visitors alike. Eater Austin reports that 13 bars will be extending their hours, with a variety of activities and specials on offer.
Armadillo Den in Far South Austin will open its mostly-patio bar from 6 p.m. to midnight on the holiday. Barfly's, a North Loop dive bar, plans to welcome patrons on all holidays, including Thanksgiving. A downtown pub, Cedar Door, promises to quickly open from 3 p.m. to midnight, offering themed drinks, board games, and football. Cedar Door is also encouraging donations to the Central Texas Food Bank. Patrons donating canned food items will receive a dollar off their drinks as noted by Eater Austin.
The holiday season typically experiences a surge in demand for Thanksgiving meals and takeout specials. Austin American Statesman has spotlighted over two dozen Austin establishments offering both dine-in and takeout alternatives. Several of these spots even facilitate advance online ordering for customers, with a number of hotels also providing dine-in availability.
For those striving to balance home cooking with professional offerings, numerous Austin-area restaurants deliver a range of takeout specials and meal kits. According to Austin American Statesman, Colleen's Kitchen, Cork and Barrel, and Carve American Grille are among the establishments offering takeout packages. Apart from these eateries, guides are available on Eater Austin for Thanksgiving takeout, pies, and dine-in meals.
