An Exciting New Addition to East Austin Scene

East Austin continues to cement its spot as one of the city’s top destinations for dining, entertainment, and an eclectic mix of experiences with the arrival of its newest hangout – Chalmers. Located at 1700 E. Cesar Chavez, this vibrant blend of a restaurant, bar, and music venue promises to take the city’s cultural vibe up a notch with its unique offerings and hospitality.

A Former Gas Station Transformed

Chalmers has brought new life to a former Shell gas station, keeping true to the spirit of the beloved structure while adding modern twists.

With an enchanting charm curated by Canales and Co, Chalmers’ design balances a nostalgic feel of a retro gas station with modern aesthetics peculiar to East Austin. The interior exhibits a mix of rustic western accents fused with modern touches, while the outdoor space transports guests to a classic roadside oasis.
