The food hall, which has been closed due to the pandemic since March 17, 2020, will feature six eateries.
Previously included restaurants Henbit and TLV will be joined by four new eateries:
- Taco Pegaso
- The Market
- Little Wu
- Austin Rotisserie
“We want our guests to feel that Fareground is a dining and shopping destination in the heart of downtown where they can grab a bite to-go, enjoy an elevated experience, and find new local restaurants and vendors, not just a transient eatery,” Aneesh Sharma, Director of Operations at Fareground, said in the release. “Our goal is to create a fun atmosphere that feels safe for our customers with guidance from local authorities and health officials. Fareground is changing with times and adapting with Austin as it evolves into a global hub.”
An onsite retail market will sell flowers and arrangements by House of Margot Blair and select provisions from other local brands like Austin Jam; Tiny House Coffee Roasters; Texas Hill Country Olive Oil; Tea Sip; Mixy Craft Mixology; and Dude, Sweet Chocolate.
The Fareground is swapping their long picnic tables for two- to four-person seating to encourage social distancing. It will also conduct daily temperature checks for staff and sanitize regularly. Organizers said they will check in regularly with city authorities regarding masks prior to opening.
The food hall will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Online orders can be placed until 8:30 p.m. Ellis will be open 3 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
