ClosingsThe Brass Tap
The Brass Tap has closed its location at The Triangle in North Austin. The craft beer bar and eatery had previously taken over what was formerly Flying Saucer Draught Emporium in August 2023, with the taproom announcing its final day of business less than two years later in mid-April 2025. However, the Round Rock location remains open, offering more than 60 draft beers, wine, cocktails, a full food menu and a spacious outdoor patio.
Stinson’sTenured coffee and taco bar Stinson’s has shuttered its North Austin location on the corner of 45th Street and Burnet Road this month, announcing that the concept will be reopening in a nearby food trailer. The new trailer is currently working though the final details of permitting with the city of Austin and is expected to be open to the public within a couple of weeks.
