so these will take place an hour after the last relay or around 6:30 ish
Friday: Shady Grove www.theshadygrove.com
Saturday: Moonshine www.moonshinegrill.com
Sunday: Scholz www.scholzgarten.net
2 blocks from the pool (the closest bar)
I'm thinking Friday or Saturday night to maximize numbers
Where ever it is people can just pay for what they order
We need to pick the
Date
Friday or Saturday which do you prefer?
Time
I think early would be better than later
like around dinner time or maybe an hour - hour and a half after relays are done and
Location:
I suggest somewhere in Central / Downtown Austin that serves both beer and food. if we want to be outdoors we need to watch the weather that day
Walking Distance from the Pool

The last of the Austin Texas Beer Gardens, open since 1866, and the oldest restaurant in Texas , and two blocks from the University of Texas.
