East Austin is constantly changing and evolving, and it can be tough to keep up. We’ve rounded up some of our new neighbors to help you stay afloat. Make sure to stop by sometime in 2023 and welcome these small businesses to the neighborhood.
Pure Barre
As of December 2022, this Barre gym opened its doors just in time to help East Austinites keep their resolutions. Barre is a type of workout that incorporates ballet moves. It’s great for improving flexibility, balance, and overall grace. The low-impact classes are well-suited for every fitness level.

Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics
This new dentist office focuses on the smallest of patients and is sure to create lasting smiles. It can be difficult to find providers taking on new patients, but the excellent dentists at Park Lane have their books open.

Bosses Office
Eastsiders had to say goodbye to Swift Pizza in 2022. Just six short weeks later, a speakeasy opened in its stead which is a not-so-well-kept secret we’re happy to be in on. This new concept by Adam Jacoby and Kris Swift is an elegant and moody lounge offering up extravagant cocktails and tasty small bites.

Murray’s
Opening in summer 2023, this New York-style tavern from Travis Tober of beloved local dive bar Nickel City will be located on Webberville Road. While the menu is yet to be announced, if Murray’s is anything like its predecessor, it will be simple, innovative, and down-to-earth.
2316 Webberville Rd.
Day Dreamer
Not much is known yet about Day Dreamer, but this neighborhood bar, which will be located on East 6th, has us daydreaming about what this new concept might be.

Aviator Pizza
One of the newest addition to Mueller’s booming Aldrich Street is set to be the fifth location of family-friendly Aviator Pizza. With dough prepared fresh daily and a robust menu, there’s surely a pizza for everyone, from the pickiest of eaters to the most adventurous.

Ezov
This new Mediterranean and Israeli-inspired restaurant from the Emmer & Rye team, which will be located in the Holly neighborhood (the former location of Pitchfork Pretty), will surely be a delectable addition to the Eastside’s booming culinary scene.

Eden East
While the specific location and date of re-opening have yet to be announced, Chef Sonya Coté is not done with Eden East. The restaurant will make its return to Austin in the near future to the delight of its longtime fans who have gone without since 2020.
