Standing sentry over her long-abandoned club, this classy reminder of the Eastside nights of yore has been around as long as we can remember. Around the corner, current spots like the White Swan and Aristocrat keep the 12th & Chicon nightlife bumping, but the nostalgic, ghostly quality of the Fresh Up makes us long for her return. Even though the Fresh Up Club moniker has been given new life by Peat Duggins and David Bryant of the Eastside art space, we still hope that, someday soon, this landmark of the old East Austin will reclaim her place in the community as well as her rightful glory.
