Bar Peached and Sister Concepts
Bar Peached is part of the Peached Tortilla hospitality group founded by Eric Silverstein. He started the culinary journey with a Southern-inspired Asian food truck in 2010.
It expanded into a network of restaurants and event concepts. Its mission of uniting flavors and influences from across cultures in a relaxed, welcoming environment led to the evolution of The Peached Tortilla.
The same philosophy continues at Bar Peached. It is a neighborhood restaurant and cocktail bar serving Asian comfort foods and cocktails. Chef-prepared dishes include shareable platters, dumplings and bao buns, and tacos. The beverage program includes signature cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits.
Bar Peached offers the vibe of a cocktail bar with the welcoming atmosphere of a neighborhood gathering spot, making it a West Sixth Street favorite.
The restaurant chain also has Peached Social House. It is a space designed for event rentals, including corporate events, community events, weddings, and private parties. It is nestled in the heart of Central Austin and provides indoor and outdoor event spaces.
The Peached Tortilla, Bar Peached, and Peached Social House offer dining, events, and catering services.
