The best bakery and beer hall in Austin. Normally those two things do not go together, but on 6th Street in Austin, Texas they do. There is a perfect marriage between the suds of the local beer on tap being poured, and the aroma of rising dough. Whether you are looking for a quick latte and freshly baked pastry at the Bake Shop (we recommend the Tiger Claw) or grabbing a Live Oak Hefeweizen on tap and snacking on a artisan sandwich at the Beer Hall, there is something for you. It is a great destination for a large group, because you can park at the large picnic tables on their large patio. Easy Tiger always has special events going on, for example this month they have a Pappy Van Winkle Flight on February 20th and 21st. Beer vendors consistently debut their newest casks and kegs at Easy Tiger, which they tend to get exclusively. Joining the Mug Club, gets you exclusive access to their Reserve List, as well as some Easy Tiger merchandise. Grabbing a house made sausage before a heavy night of drinking on 6th Street is always a safe bet at this Bake Shop and Beer Hall. Easy Tiger by far has one of the best happy hours in town with $3 sausage links, $3 pretzel and beer cheese, and $3 select local craft beers.
At the end of the day though what makes Easy Tiger so special, is some the beautiful loaves of bread you can find in the bake shop. So good they are sold all over town at various Whole Foods locations. They have options that are tough to find, simply because they are tough to execute: such as Miche (Pain de campagne) and Levain Batard. These crusty and chewy loaves are not the super buttery and soft breads that Americans are used to, but these are more traditionally what you find a bakery in France. Don’t get me wrong the Ciabatta and Baguette found at Easy Tiger are just as delicious, just not as hard to find.
