Okay, we’re burying this in the family section because at least it’ll slow the inevitable invasion of mule-chugging jugheads from taking over Sunday brunch hours, but the Pitch is the best place to fútbol-and-chill in the entire region (maybe the entire state). Housed on the campus of Austin FC’s training facilities in Northwest Austin, the Pitch features four restaurants ranging from vermicelli bowls to fajitas to burgers, two bars, and a coffeehouse. But what makes the Pitch positively glorious is its dedication to he Beautiful Game on match days: plenty of sound-on screens in a variety of mood-fitting seating arrangements both indoors and out, plus an easily viewable sand pit for your little Lewandowsklings to toil around in with a soccer ball while you order cold beer right from your phone.
