After closing its original Sixth Street location and opening in South Austin this fall, local bake shop, restaurant and beer garden Easy Tiger is expanding to East Austin in early February.
The new location at 1501 E. Seventh St., Austin, was formerly event space 7Co, less than a mile from the now-closed original location at 709 E. Sixth St., Austin.
"We are making good on our promise to return to downtown," CEO Mike Stitt said in a news release. "We are grateful for everyone who has supported Easy Tiger this year and feel an enormous weight on our shoulders to pay it back, starting with our newest location on the East side where we'll be creating another 60 jobs for Austin."
