This extremely chill watering hole may be new to the neighborhood, but it feels like the very best of old Austin. There’s the spacious double patio (plentiful parking, too?!); the support of other local bootstrappers, from food trailers and musicians to ATX breweries on tap; and the mission statement to be a good neighbor to the 78704 and Mother Earth at large, borne out in a thoughtful ecosystem that includes a chicken coop, waterfall pond, and garden, the fruits of which are liable to end up in your v. tasty craft cocktail. To some, “drink responsibly” may sound like a nag. At Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden, it’s a way of life.
