Beauty Bar

Downtowners are of two radically different minds about the "Booty Bar": either they love it or dismiss it as hipsters gone wild. Then there are those who love it because it's hipsters gone wild. Whatevs, anywhere Blur's "Girls + Boys" comes on at closing time twice in 10 days is fine by us. Because the local proprietors, Trail of Dead's Jason Reece and his lovely wife Chi Paek, couldn't be more gracious hosts, the Austin branch of this nationwide franchise is something they sure don't have in New York, Vegas, or L.A.: a down-home bar for the beautiful people and the best source of material Misprint magazine will ever have.
