Events in Austin

Travaasa Luxury Resort's recently launched So Fresh and So Green food truck serves up dishes made with ingredients from the resort's brand-new on-site farm. The breakfast and lunch menus feature items such as huevos rancheros, a Brussels sprout scramble, and antelope tacos.

Located in a two-story craftsman bungalow built in 1922, Winflo Osteria is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria serving fare made in a 92-inch Forno Bravo wood-fired brick oven. The 3,700-square-foot space opened in January in the Clarksville neighborhood and took care to preserve the home's original architectural features such as a fireplace, bookcases and cabinetry, and exposed wood walls. The second-floor dining room seats 50 and has a padded banquette that wraps around two walls. Timed with this spring's South by Southwest festival, the restaurant opened a downstairs "listening room," a 50-seat space that has a wooden stage and can be used for private events. An outdoor wooden deck—underneath a lighted live oak tree—seats 40.

CYC, an indoor cycling studio, opened in November and is available as an event venue in addition to teambuilding spinning sessions and custom private rides. The 920-square-foot soundproof studio has a 27-square-foot stage and can accommodate 300 guests. Audiovisual equipment includes two large TV projections, a sound system, and a projector. The space was designed by Glen Coben, who has designed Niketown stores across the United States.

Sway, a family-style Thai restaurant, opened in December with an emphasis on shared plates served at communal tables. The restaurant is available for buyout and has an inside seated capacity of 92 guests, including counter and bar seats, or 122 including the patio. Receptions can accommodate as many as 125 guests inside or 150 with the patio.

Opening in May, Searsucker is the third outpost of the concept from Top Chef finalist Brian Malarkey. The restaurant, which also has locations in San Diego and Scottsdale, Arizona (pictured), is in Austin's warehouse district and will serve New American classic cuisine with cocktails, craft beer, and wine. The 7,000-square-foot space will seat 293. The entire restaurant will be available for buyouts, and a semiprivate space will seat 12 to 14 people.

The farm-to-table Mexican restaurant El Monumento opened late last year in Georgetown, just north of Austin. The 7,700-square-foot restaurant features plants native to rural South Texas and Mexico and has four dining areas.

The American craft beer bar Chicago House opened in late January in a historic building in downtown Austin. The two-story venue covers 2,500 square feet and can host groups of as many as 300 people. Smaller groups can use the upstairs space. The bar offers 20 rotating taps and two cask ales, along with a full bar. Catering is available, and the bar has audiovisual capabilities.

The Italian restaurant Cherry Street opened late last year in midtown and serves house-made antipasti, pizzas, and pastas, along with Italian-influenced classic cocktails. With 60 seats, the spot offers buyouts for dinners or happy hours and can create custom menus for private events.
