The Driskill Grill and Bar, a cherished part of Austin’s culinary scene, reopened its doors on May 18, inviting patrons to experience its updated offerings in the historic Driskill Hotel. This iconic hotel, a staple in Austin since 1886, has long been a gathering place for political figures, musicians, and entrepreneurs.

A Taste of Tradition

The Driskill Grill’s menu is a testament to its commitment to quality and tradition. Diners can enjoy a variety of appetizers and light bites, such as marinated olives, house fries, and steak tartare. For those seeking a heartier meal, the menu includes a selection of seafood like oysters, clams, and crab, alongside salads, sandwiches, and an array of steak options. Notably, the steak offerings range from a 26-ounce bone-in ribeye, dry-aged for 28 days, to a 14-ounce New York strip wagyu and a 6-ounce tenderloin.

Libations and Atmosphere

The bar at The Driskill Grill offers a cocktail menu with a drink for every letter of the alphabet, starting with the American Trilogy, a rye and apple brandy old fashioned, and concluding with the Zacapa Old Fashioned, an aged rum old fashioned. The 6,000-square-foot dining room, redesigned by Lambert Maguire Design, now seats 243 guests and features period-inspired design elements that complement the hotel’s historic charm.
