Moonshine Downtown in the Historic Waterloo Compound

About Moonshine Downtown

If you’re looking for things to do in Downtown Austin, Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill is a local favorite for lunch, dinner, happy hour, and Sunday brunch.

Set in a historic mercantile and saloon in the heart of Austin’s Entertainment District, Moonshine serves Southern-inspired comfort food alongside a highly curated bar program featuring craft cocktails and award-winning single-barrel bourbon picks. Walking distance from downtown hotels, Rainey Street, Sixth Street, and the newly opened Waterloo Greenway, we’re an easy stop while exploring Austin, heading to a show, catching a Texas Football game, or planning a night out downtown.

With spacious patios, a laid-back Sunday brunch, and plenty of historic character, Moonshine brings together old Austin charm, genuine Texas hospitality, and the easygoing atmosphere that has made us a Downtown Austin favorite for over 25 years.
