The menu is a little limited because they focus on serving some of the best street tacos and queso in the area. The First Noel, a farmhouse-style wild ale with figs was also quite lovely. ![]() I would recommend trying one of their wild ales aged in tequila or Wild Turkey barrels. As an added treat for those that may not be big on hops, they also make their own root beer. Lazarus has 16 taps that they rotate between seasonal ales and mainstay flagships ranging from American IPAs, German pilsners, Belgian strongs, and sweet barrel-aged varieties. If by chance, you need another reason to stay and relax, there is a local band playing on the stage most Friday nights. Lazarus’s patio is also super dog friendly if you plan on dining with your well-behaved furry friend. Large garage-type doors open up to shade coverings and mister fans that help to drop the temperature in the dining area a couple of degrees. Lazarus’s outdoor dining area is ideal for hanging out, with its mix of family-style picnic tables and smaller bistro-type tables. Christian and his team of creatives, Marilyn (master barista and coffee roaster), Marcus (certified cicerone, a professional beer aficionado), and Rebekah (head brewer), built a 10-barrel taproom designed to encourage people to hang out and relax with friends.

One of the rules is to slurp the broth because it helps to aerate the broth, enhancing the flavor of the noodles. It’s important to know that there are rules for eating ramen correctly. Tatsu and Takuya take pride in preparing the rich broth that is the basis of true ramen. Ramen TatsuyaĬhefs/DJs Tatsu Aikawa and Takuya Matsumoto dreamed of showing people what properly prepared ramen, the soul food of Japan, is truly like and how different it is from the bland, freeze-dried packages in the stores. Here are six of my favorite restaurants either within Austin’s walkable downtown, overlooking Lake Travis for spectacular sunsets, or for a special night out.
