The East Austin bar scene has expanded with Parley’s recent opening in the area.
What to know
Founded by Bar Hacienda, Bar Fino and Here Nor There alums, Terance Robson and Jack “Slim” Hogan, the new spot has partnered with Oseyo and Idlewild.
Both from Ireland, Robson and Hogan stated the new business is a love letter to the pubs they grew up going to. The duo is using the bar as a way to bring Irish culture to downtown Austin.
“We grew up in places where the pub wasn’t just where you drank, it was where you gathered,” Robson said. “That energy of catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, and just enjoying good company is exactly what we’re bringing to Parley.”
Behind the name
As stated in a news release, the name “Parley” means “to meet up,” which is what the space will serve to be a spot for in the local community.
During the day, community members can enjoy a coffee bar with espresso and light bites. The bar’s menu includes:
Cocktails include:
The space will host a range of events from golf outings and weekly run club meetings to watch parties and wellness-focused gatherings.
“Hospitality doesn’t have to mean expensive or exclusive,” Hogan said. “Parley is for everyone – industry folks, creatives, neighborhood regulars and anyone else looking for a place to feel at home.”
