Austin: Meetup @ North By Northwest - 06-08-2009, 11:46 AM


Hey guys...

I will be in Austin attending a friend's wedding on the 20th so I figured I get in a day earlier and meetup with our Austin TPF Folks!

North By Northwest
10010 Capital of TX Hwy N
Austin, TX 78759

Date: June 19, 2009
Time: 6:30pm - Whenever
Web: http://www.nxnwbrew.com/
Menu: http://nxnwbrew.com/dinner.php

Location is set for North By Northwest! We can all have a few drinks, eat and not worry about having to put it all on one bill since that allows people to come and go as they wish.

The only place that comes to mind immediately would be one of the Waterloo Ice House locations. Order at the counter, so you pay separately, and grill food. What area of town will you be hanging out in, Abel, maybe we can narrow it down that way?

Just went to a friends bday at Max's wine dive. Everyone got separate checks, so that's what made me think of this place. Good place to go if you like wine. They have pretty good HH prices too. It's also downtown.

then there's also Fado's if you want to go to a pub and drink beerz:

TONS of other cool spots in that area as well. Just thought I'd throw a couple on the table. Open to other suggestions as well......

Just remembered Opal Devine's too. One north, one south, one central.

Since you're talking Friday night, I would avoid downtown or anything nearby. Parking, getting a table, all sorts of headaches involved. I would just suggest someplace out in a neighborhood, or if anyone wants sunset pictures, maybe out at the lake at Iguana Grille. Actually, they will have a band after 9pm on Friday, so even though you're outdoors, it would get loud. Hey, you're going to a wedding Saturday, shouldn't there be a Friday night event at some place like Sugar's or Yellow Rose?

North by Northwest would be great if we could reserve some room.
