Industry sits on East 5th Street in East Cesar Chavez, started by people who describe their own backgrounds in the service industry — waiting tables, cooking, washing dishes. That ethos runs through the place: a full bar with 30 taps and a cocktail list, a food menu, a separate pantry section, and weekend brunch service.
Regulars point to the smoked meat dishes and portions that don't hold back, along with a staff that keeps things welcoming even when the room is loud. Games on hand add to the atmosphere, and the space reads less like a destination kitchen and more like a spot the neighborhood treats as its own.
The Infatuation has covered Industry as part of its Austin restaurant coverage.
