What Now reported back in January on the planned opening of The Butcher’s Daughter, the celeb-beloved vegetarian cafe with locations in New York and Los Angeles. It’s opening this spring at 1600 S Congress Ave.
As it turns out, however, this is not all the Butcher’s Daughter team, headed up by founder Heather Tierney, has in store for Austin. Behind the cafe will be a new outpost of the Butcher’s Daughter’s sister concept, Only the Wild Ones, the “wine and vinyl listening bar” born in Venice Beach, California, according to coverage on Resy.com.
At Only the Wild Ones, the records are sometimes spun by pro DJs and sometimes by local regulars, but alongside the music, the star in Venice Beach has been natural wines. These go together with a selection of small plates, plus some cocktails and beers.
In the Resy.com coverage, Kari Hendrick, Director of Brand and Cultural Development for the Butcher’s Daughter, revealed that plans were in place to bring Only the Wild Ones to Austin together with The Butcher’s Daughter. “Maybe now they go together!” Hendrick said.
“Only The Wild Ones was designed by Tierney, who also owns a design agency called Wanderlust and oversees all of the Butcher’s Daughter locations as well,” the coverage says. “The ceiling of the bar is corkboard, evoking a wine bottle. And the colors throughout the space are a variety of earth tones ‘reminiscent of a Moroccan palette.’”
It’s not yet known how Austin’s Only the Wild Ones may follow or differ from this formula, so stay tuned for more details!
