Behold Russian House's Transformation-In-Progress; Craft Beer Week Event Roundup; Truluck's Returns

DOWNTOWN — Russian House has embarked on a fairly extensive transformation of their restaurant's exterior. The new entrance is slowly but surely becoming the canvass for a mural; this is a shot of Day 15. [Russian House]

CRAFT BEER HERE — It's American Craft Beer Week, and in case you have not noticed, Austin is pretty into that craft beer stuff. Local bloggers Bitch Beer have done an excellent job rounding up the many, many events around town. [Bitch Beer]

REOPENING ALERT — The Statesman notes that Truluck's has reopened downtown after an extensive renovation. The restaurant now has fancy second-floor windows and a private dining room. [Statesman]
