Wright Bros. Brew & Brew

Wright Bros. does two things very well: beer and coffee. Serving up 38 ever-changing beers on tap, along with espresso, aeropress, and drip coffee from Flat Track, this is the penultimate space to segue from coffee to beer and try as many different types of each as you desire.

Cuvée Coffee

Known for its nitro cold brew and local roasts, Cuvee also provides a wide selection of local and national craft beers on tap. Coupled with the covered patio, the cafe makes a great location to enjoy any number of cold beverages throughout the summer.

Radio Coffee & Beer

Copy Link

One of the city’s best beer bars, Radio is just as serious about the Cuvée coffee it serves as it is about the 50+ beers available on tap and in bottles. Combined with lots of indoor and outdoor seating, along with Veracruz All Natural parked in the yard, Radio is a great spot to drink any weekend (or weekday) away.

Cenote offers a variety of pour over coffees and cold brew on tap. Once you’ve gotten your caffeine fix though, there are more than 50 beer, cider, and wine options to choose from. Located in a historic east Austin home, it’s an easy place to spend an entire day trying out the best of its beverage offerings.

Red Horn Coffee House & Brewing Co

Buzz Mill Coffee

Part-coffee shop and part-bar, this downtown watering hole can satisfy all of your coffee and booze cravings at once. Serving a wide variety of cocktails, including both Long Island and Irish Coffee, Halcyon allows you to combine two of your favorite things without having to leave downtown.
