Oh, ever-changing Austin! So many new and exciting restaurants, shops, and establishments pop up each month, but so comes the closure of some of our old-time favorites. Some of these places were beloved Austin staples that served the community for decades, others maybe barely visited, or so quick to open and close we hardly had the chance to love ’em. Regardless, we say a fond farewell and pay tribute to them here. Here’s to the places we lost in 2024:
- Ah Sing Den
- Austin Antique Mall
- Austin Eastcider’s Collaboratory (closed last remaining tasting room, still producing ciders)
- Aviary
- Baby A’s
- Beerburg
- Diner Bar
- Easy Tiger (7th Street location)
- Elementary
- Epic Fun
- Estelle’s
- Icenhauers
- Irene’s
- Love & Cookies
- Foxtrot
- Parlor
- Patika
- Progress Coffee
- Revival Coffee
- Royal Fig
- Outer Heaven
- Salt & Time
- Slab BBQ Cedar Park
- Star Seeds
- Try Hard Coffee
- Wu Chow (N. Lamar)
- Outdoor Voices | Closed all physical locations and is now online only
- Unbarlievable Rainey Street
Of course, this isn’t even close to all the local businesses that shuttered in 2024, but we give a nod of appreciation to all that came and went!
