Restaurant offers more than just beer and sports

Owen Reschman and Kathy Boyd opened their first Round Rock restaurant—La Margarita—in 1987. Twenty-five years later, the owners have expanded their business beyond Mexican fare with the opening of Westside Alehouse.

Westside Alehouse is designed to serve a range of clientele. The restaurant opened for business in a new building in March and offers patrons 51 beers on tap and a full menu featuring American staples such as burgers, salads, and fish and chips. The expansive location includes inside seating for 200 people and an outdoor patio area that can host another 100 customers.

"The idea was to do something different in Round Rock," Westside Alehouse Area Manager Eli Aviles said. "We are a family-owned restaurant, so we really care about the food being made fresh and handmade."

Aviles said the Westside Alehouse menu was recently updated to include more healthy and fresh-made selections. The goal, he said, is to appeal to a wide group of clientele and draw repeat customers.

"Business has been good, and we are still trying to grow," Aviles said.
