It’s birthday season in the US — the most birthdays fall in between July and October.
Whether your birthday is coming up or you’re planning a bash for a friend, there are plenty of ways to celebrate another lap around the sun in Austin.
If you’re gathering all of your besties
- Cosmic Saltillo + Cosmic Pickle | With plenty of picnic tables and a photo-worthy ambiance, these coffee-shop-cocktail-bars keep larger groups caffeinated, buzzed, and well-fed. They’ll even pop your cake in the fridge until you’re ready to blow out your candles.
- Central Machine Works, Jester King Brewery + Lazarus Brewing Co. | Does the birthday king or queen prefer a cold beer over a cupcake? These local breweries offer plenty of seating, food for drinks-turned-dinner-parties, and robust beer selections to keep conversation flowing.
If you love intimate celebrations
- Sushi | Bar ATX | Surprise someone on their special day with a snazzy sushi experience. This high-end restaurant only seats 10 people and each guest tastes 17+ flavorful courses for $159.
- Trona | If cocktails are the way to their heart, celebrate at this moody bar with tables for two. The interior vibe is equally artistic and cozy, which creates the perfect setting for a night worth remembering.
If you want to begin the day with a bang
- Kerbey Lane All Day Cafe | Kick off your best year yet with a breakfast as unique as you — just stick some candles in the monthly and seasonal pancake specials at this local mainstay.
- Paperboy | You’re never too old for a homemade strawberry vanilla pop tart. Grab one (or two) and a cold brew martini for a boozy birthday brunch.
