Verdant Sandwich Shop And Custom Cocktail Lounge Open Doors in Downtown Austin, Texas

The bustling city of Austin, Texas, welcomes the latest culinary venture courtesy of Lobos Hospitality as the unique duo of Manny’s delicatessen and Powder Room cocktail lounge finds a home base downtown. This strategically located unit in Downtown Austin is the perfect go-to spot for a delightful mid-day brunch or a laid-back evening under the Texas stars with friends and loved ones.

Setting Foot Down in Austin

Lobos Hospitality emerged on the Austin food scene in January 2024, announcing plans for three new, exciting restaurants. The group’s first roll-out, Toasty Badger Diner, was met with warm approval, serving up nostalgia with a charming aesthetic on South Congress Avenue.

Continuing their mission to deliver culinary excellence in Austin, Lobos Hospitality introduces the duo of Manny’s and Powder Room in a shared space at the heart of Warehouse District. This dynamic pair creates the perfect balance between casual eats and sophisticated cocktail culture, effectively bringing together two divergent experiences under one roof.

Exploring Manny’s and its Hidden Oasis

With its soft opening scheduled on the 18th of April, Manny’s promises to delight locals with an eclectic menu emphasizing fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. General Manager Dawn Catagnus describes the space as a “community-driven delicatessen” with a strong focus on customer satisfaction.

A sneak peek photo reveals a beautiful, greenery-draped patio, adding a distinctive charm to the place. The interior design takes inspiration from Art Deco prints and mid-century décor, beautifully patterned to provide an escape from the urban sprawl, as described by designer Peter Bowden.

Diverse Menu for Diverse Taste Buds

Manny’s menu caters to a range of diets, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free, with a lineup set to thrill Austin’s food lovers. From a delicious BLT to a Vietnamese bánh mì, each plate effortlessly balances the global tradition of sandwich-making with an irresistible freshness. Don’t forget to sample their signature cocktail or enjoy a healthy smoothie while relishing the tranquil ambiance.

Powder Room – A Classy Vibe with Custom Cocktails

Just in the background, the Powder Room offers an entirely contrasting experience from Manny’s, with its dimly lit, artsy décor that promises to whisk guests back to the golden era of vintage cocktails. Step into an exciting world of ‘tableside mixology,’ where each drink is an art piece curated on demand. The addition of the retro-themed interior design elevates the overall experience to unforgettable heights.

Head Mixologist Drew Record emphasizes creating an inclusive environment where the craft of cocktail creation is shared openly with guests. The result is an array of personalized cocktails ushering in an elevated and unforgettable mixology experience for Austinites.

While Manny’s will operate on a walk-in basis, reservations are open for Powder Room through OpenTable. Additionally, both establishments will validate parking at the nearby Lavaca Plaza Garage to offer accessible and hassle-free parking solutions to their patrons.

Embracing the notion of ‘business in the front, party in the back,’ Manny’s delicatessen and Powder Room cocktail lounge present a fresh take on the Austin dining experience. Whether it’s for a quick yet nutritious lunch break, a laid-back dinner, or an unforgettable night out with friends, this new duo on the block creates a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all.
