La Grange
Deep Ellum scores a slice of Austin

2704 Elm St; Deep Ellum; 214.741.2009

Seeding a dream often requires harnessing momentum from an
unrelated field: Mark Cuban earned billions from
Broadcast.com, but always with an eye on the real prize,
having someone actually broadcast him wrestling Randy Orton.
Trading business success for a shot at boozy bliss, the
woman behind La Grange.

Just opened next to Crickets, La Grange is helmed by a UT
grad who put sweet alcoholic dreams on hold to co-found a
health care placement agency; recently she cashed out to
start up this bar/music venue intended to be a cross between
Austin's Continental Club and La Condesa (wisely not called
the Condesinental Ub). The first step was gutting the
ex-Cafe Istanbul space and outfitting it with a central
stage, stone walls, floor-to-ceiling front windows,
sound-deadening panels camouflaged by local artists'
paintings, and a cozy 2nd floor green room; then further
styling the place with a mesquite-topped bar, a
cowboy-mural'd rear patio, and clear acrylic deer busts lit
by diodes in the neck (so, LED-heads?). The bar slings
mostly usual-suspect beers (Blue Moon/Guinness/Shiner on
tap, Negra Modelo/Dos XX bottles, $2-anytime Lone Star),
plus a Texas-only wine list (Hook Line & Sinker, Flat
Creek...) and five house cocktails, from the agave-nectar
"Home on the Grange" margarita to the Dripping Springs vodka
"White-Tail Martini", with Frangelico and white chocolate --
a dainty combo sure to scare tail away from your dripping
springs.

Bands (country/rural rock/folk) will play Fri-Sat to start,
on up to five days a week by spring; there's also a
state-of-the-art projection screen that'll host movie nights
and sporting events -- like the dream match Mark Cuban
actually intended against a smaller guy from an unrelated
field, Kyle Orton.

Liquored-up coffee drinks're coming. More 'bout that shack
