Get ready, Austin – the Lone Star State’s latest dining destination has arrived. Haywire Austin, the Texas-inspired restaurant known for its bold flavors, legendary whiskey collection, and unmistakable Texas charm, is officially open for business at 11501 Rock Rose Ave. in The Domain.
“We couldn’t think of a better place than Austin to bring Haywire,” says Jack Gibbons, CEO of FB Society. “Austin has an undeniable love for great food and a good time, and we’ve created a space that embodies everything Texas stands for—big, welcoming, and designed for people to gather. Whether you’re here for a hand-cut steak, a rare whiskey, or just an evening out with friends, we want Haywire to be a place where everyone can relax and have a great time.”
Spanning over 13,000 square feet across multiple levels, Haywire is a celebration of everything Texas, from its rustic charm to its urban flair. The design channels iconic Texas destinations like Marfa and Luckenbach, with a contrast of laid-back comfort and city energy that’s perfect for Austin’s vibrant atmosphere. Inside, you’ll find a variety of private dining options, including a Shasta-style trailer on the second-floor patio, an artful Longhorn Lounge with a stunning barrel ceiling, and an intimate wine-lined Cellar ideal for private gatherings.
But it’s not just the atmosphere that will leave you in awe – the food and drinks are set to impress too. With Chef Zac Allred at the helm, Haywire’s farm-to-fork menu is a true reflection of the best of Texas. Expect dishes that celebrate the flavors of every corner of the state, like Lump Crab that pays tribute to the Texas Gulf Coast, and the show-stopping 33-ounce Tomahawk ribeye, inspired by East Texas ranchers. And if you’re craving something a bit more Tex-Mex, you won’t want to miss the signature Elk Tacos or creamy Queso Blanco.
When it comes to drinks, Haywire doesn’t skimp on quality. Their extensive whiskey collection is something to be admired, alongside a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring selections from across the globe, with a special nod to Texas’ finest. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just looking to enjoy something new, Haywire has the perfect pour for you.
With a variety of private dining spaces, Haywire is ready to host everything from intimate dinners to grand celebrations. Whether it’s the vintage charm of the rooftop Shasta Trailer or the hidden speakeasy vibes of the Michener Room – named after legendary author James Michener – there’s a spot for every occasion. And for larger events, Haywire offers spacious private rooms that can host up to 100 guests for a memorable evening of food, drinks, and Texas hospitality.
Since opening its first location in 2017, Haywire has become known for its unforgettable dining experiences, and the Austin location is set to be no different. It marks the brand’s fifth restaurant, joining established spots in Plano, Uptown Dallas, Houston’s Memorial City, and San Antonio.
