2nd Street Jam

It's been a long week of projects and work that it is hard to get out my usual hermit ways. Luckily an impromptu happy hour excursion came to the rescue Friday night. 

Malagas Tapas Bar on 2nd Street values it's flavor over large portions and has one of the top happy hours in Austin. From 5-7 you can enjoy $5 drinks versus the normal $8.50 price. On top of that wine and beer are also discounted. All happy hour drinks can be paired with a Tapas or Spanish Appetizer for $8. 

 What's the kicker? There really isn't one. For $8 you can enjoy a huge Spanish Sagra or a standard Mexican Martini. On top of that you will get the normal serving size of a Tapas. The usual price of the pork bites tapas is $8.75 while the happy hour pairing gets you the same amount of food plus a drink. Need I say more?

Sagria! Pork Bites! Pita Bread! Spinach and Artichoke Dip! Crostini s!  

Just getting happier and happier as the hours go on. 

After a walk down 2nd Street we started to crave something cold and creamy...like frozen yogurt. 

Berry Austin is a pretty Austin yogurt place. I know they can be a dime a dozen around Austin, but I will say this place has loads of toppings and great flavors. Almost everyone had to have vanilla and mint swirled on the hotter than hot summer night.

Keep Austin Weird. The plated decorations that line the entire yogurt spot.

Fun little bar perfect for people watching on 2nd street. 

 My personal favorite touch about the place. A bar top full of I-Spy-like games for when you are eating your yogurt. Couldn't keep my eyes from trying to find the little lists in front of each stool.

Hopefully your weekend has started off great as well!
