WE LOVE YOU

Austin, TX

Over the years we’ve embraced South Congress as our home. The street and the city of Austin have such a rich history, restaurant scene, and artistic impact that we think it’s worth celebrating. Here’s our guide of what we love about our neighborhood.
A boutique interior with tall wooden shelving units displaying framed art, decorative objects, books, and clothing racks. A central doorway leads to a staircase and more apparel, with a table and chairs in the foreground.

THE SHOP

We’re in one of the oldest buildings on the street and even have a photograph of the original building framed on our wall. We recently renovated to expand and include a custom showroom.

 MAKE A CUSTOM APPOINTMENT
A large painted mural on a building wall reads “WILLIE FOR PRESIDENT” in blue text over a red and white wavy sunburst design, with a blue-and-white portrait of Willie Nelson. Part of a dark storefront and trees are visible at the left and top edges.

THE SIGHTS

We love how the artistic spirit lives on our street through a myriad of murals.

THE SOUNDS

C-Boys Heart & Soul has live music that plays classic soul and R&B. It’s got a 1950’s vibe that our nostalgic hearts can’t get enough of.

A decorative outdoor signpost featuring a baseball-shaped sign that reads 'The Longtime Texas Sandlot' with crossed wooden baseball-club signs below reading 'Wood Only' and 'Only Wood'. The sign is photographed outdoors in a rural setting with trees, a fence, and vehicles in the background.

THE SHOWS

Watching the Texas Playboys play baseball is such a treat. It’s a rag-tag team of artists and adventurers who are dominating the sandlot. They’ve even played against the Alabama Slammers in Florence, Alabama!

A nighttime street scene featuring a retro motel and diner with glowing neon signs, including a prominent blue 'Joan's Fine Foods' sign and a red motel sign. Long-exposure light trails from passing cars stretch across the foreground, with trees and a cloudy dusk sky in the background.

THE SNACKS

There are so many great places to eat at, but if we had to narrow it down we’d choose Home Slice with its New York-style pizza and Joann’s Fine Foods. The Austin store director in, Matt Salazar’s go-to Joann’s order? “ Their turkey club sandwich with their homemade chips and queso.”
