This news makes us want to cry into our Texas-sized plates. We want to catch you all up on some recent restaurant closings around town. Here are five spots we’ve said farewell to in the last few weeks — some temporarily, others permanently.

🌊 Ski Shores, 1608 Barton Springs Rd. | Now Closed

The Zilker Park restaurant and its 50-year-old first location on Lake Austin have been bought by McGuire Moorman Lambert Hospitality. The Lake Austin spot will be “revitalized,” but the Barton Springs location will be turned into a second Lou’s, serving burgers and ice cream. Reopenings are planned for spring 2022.

🐟 Catfish Parlour, 11910 Research Blvd. | Closing Nov. 6

The Catfish Parlour is closing after nearly five decades of serving Austinites “meat with no feet” in North Austin, as the founder believes it is simply “time.” The South Austin + Georgetown locations will remain open.

🍺 Dry Creek Café & Boat Dock, 4812 Mount Bonnell Rd. | Closed Oct. 31

After 65 years in business, the Dry Creek Café has shut its doors. The Mount Bonnell Road location was an Austin favorite for its relaxed + nostalgic atmosphere. The unique spot was known for great music, beer, and bags of chips.

🍣 Maiko Sushi Lounge, 311 W. 6th St. | Closed Oct. 27

This popular downtown sushi restaurant opened in 2005. The spot will be replaced with a new 60-story BBVA USA apartment + office tower.

🍻 Craft Pride, 61 Rainey St. | Closed Oct. 23

This beer bar is temporarily closed. There are plans for the brew bar — which prides itself on offering drinks from the Lone Star State — to set up shop at a new location. An official announcement about the new spot has not been made yet.
