Ski Shores Cafe, Barton Springs Road Location. Alive & Open!



The legendary Ski Shores Cafe of actual Lake Austin lore, love, fame, and embraceable, easy ambiance now has another more ATX friendly location on Barton Springs Road. Located adjacent to upcoming the Eastciders brewery, Ski Shores Cafe is open, guest friendly and awesome. 

My girlfriend and I stopped in for the first time yesterday during our Town Lake Trail Bike Ride. Every other time I'd been near the  Ski Shores Barton Springs Road Cafe's proximity, the outdoor patio had been bustling with happy talking customers. Ski Shores Cafe on Barton Springs Road finally introduces the ATX city slicker folks, to the ideal, peaceful, causal Lake Austin vibe, boat owner mentality, and Lake Austin love, recreational Lake folk have known about and loved for decades, literally decades. 

Anybody still remember the PIER on Lake Austin? Anybody? (R.I.P)  Click here for the old Pier Closing  article.

Although the Barton Springs location is lacking actual waterfront sounds, vibes and views, it makes up for it with a friendly, attentive waitstaff, tap beers, a full bar, decor, and a full menu of burgers, appetizers, and fried catfish and shrimp.

 GVM gives the experience a solid A-grade. 

So if you don't own a boat or can't make it to Lake Austin, swing by Ski Shores Cafe on Barton Springs Road for the Lake Austin ATX city style experience.

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...

I got up early and went = ESPN's Live College Football Gameday Show @ University of Texas - Austin Fall 2024

 I awoke circa 5:30 am this past Saturday, took a shower, grabbed a quick bite to eat and coffee@ QT; then rode my moped down to the University of Texas, South Lawn or "6-pack" area to view the LIVE ESPN taping and broadcast show, COLLEGE GAMEDAY. When I arrived on campus at 6 am it was still dark and there were plenty of fans already there. The actual LIVE College Gameday Show started at 8 am Central Time. We as fans are simply backdrop visuals and noise for the show. There were tons of fans signs, almost too many to even read. All of the On-Air TV Talent was friendly and excellent! Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreet, and Nick Saban. Pat McAfee is the "get the home crowd revved up" talent, which is needed for the live show. Overall it was quite entertaining and free to attend. It'll get your Saturday juiced up. https://promo.espn.com/collegegameday/
