10 bars in Downtown Austin have a live liquor license application or build-out permit on file right now. 2 were filed in the last 30 days, the newest on Oct 16, 2026. Recent ones include Travis County Country Club, Aphrodite Restaurant & Lounge and Capitol Cafe. Filings surface 60 to 120 days before doors open, so this is the list before it reaches Google Maps. Bar-first venues carry different licenses, longer fit-outs and different suppliers than restaurants, so they get their own list.
