According to a recent report in Eater, Lobos Hospitality will soon open Toasty Badger, downtown sandwich shop Manny’s, and downtown cocktail bar Powder Room.
“The first to open, Toasty Badger, will be found at 2206 South Congress Avenue in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood starting on Friday, January 26. Toasty Badger is a family-friendly, retro-by-the-way-of-the-1970s diner with East Coast vibes. It’ll serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a daytime menu that includes pancakes, French toast, omelets, ham and eggs, and soups. In the evenings, expect dishes like meatloaf and Salisbury steaks. Drinks-wise, there will be coffee, local beers, and cocktails,” the report states.
After this, Lobos will open Manny—a casual restaurant with classic cafe offerings— and Powder Room, a cocktail bar that aims to feel “like a living room with 1980s leanings; there will be live music and bartenders to offer table-side cocktails.”
“We gave up all of these high-level careers and bet really big on Austin,” Ellefson told Eater. “We want to create really unique brands conceptualized for Austin. We don’t want to import anything. So we looked at the market [and asked], ‘What would work here?’”
No exact opening dates have been announced.
