Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden broke ground March 20 on an expansion that will bring 15,000 additional square feet to the Rainey Street restaurant, located at 79 Rainey St., Austin.

When the expansion is completed in March 2018, the restaurant will include a new 101-tap draft system, a custom walk-in beer cellar, a meat processing facility, a large smokehouse, a 300-person basement event space and a specialty vegetable fermentation and pickling room. The construction will have no effect on Banger’s regular business operations. 512-386-1656. www.bangersaustin.com
