Austin Proper Hotel Austin Proper Hotel
Austin’s own MML Hospitality—the renowned team behind iconic Austin dining establishments like Jeffrey’s, Elizabeth Street Café, and Clark’s Oyster Bar—is our exclusive partner across our four Proper hotel dining concepts. While you’re here, we invite you to indulge in Israeli & Turkish-inspired cuisine at Peacock Mediterranean Grill; enjoy authentic coastal Mexican fare, ceviches, and sizzling fajitas at the poolside La Piscina restaurant; sip classic cocktails and spin a record at the living room lounge The Quill Room; or tuck into the elegance of Goldie’s Sunken Bar, our intimate 30-seat lounge exclusively open to Proper hotel guests.
The Peacock
Mediterranean Grill
Sharing foods and flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean — think North Africa, Greece, Israel, and Lebanon — is the worldly inspiration behind The Peacock restaurant in Austin. Mezze and wood-grilled fare is colorful and loosely plated, healthy and wholesome, perfect for a health-conscious diet. Underneath twinkling rope fixtures hung in various heights, everything is fresh and fragrant — even the organic natural wines, and light spirits mixed with lots of fresh herbs, fruits, and citrus
La Piscina
Elevated above the city with commanding sunset views, but still connected to it, is our poolside Mexican restaurant and refreshing raw bar. We invite you to sit by the engaging open kitchen and watch tortillas griddling on the open comal. Here, antojitos are made to order, and platters are piled high with fragrant, wood-grilled fare. Serious but not taking itself too seriously, our Austin poolside restaurant features playful cocktails, frozen margaritas, and a spotlight on native tequilas and mezcals.
Goldie's Cocktail Bar
Imagine a cozy, old-fashioned back room, with whispers of an authentic Turkish bar… Translated through Austin’s cool, laid-back vibe. Its mix of pink marble tables and warm copper is illuminated by the glow of hand-crocheted covers on suspended glass globes. Seating at the actual sunken bar inspires in-depth conversation, while a 16-foot sofa with bolsters beckons guests to linger over boutique wines, artisanal sips, and garden-fresh cocktails.
The Quill Room
Tucked away on the second floor of the Austin Proper Hotel is The Quill Room, an intimate music lounge with stunning views of the iconic Butterfly Bridge. Designed by renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler, the space is a perfect blend of Southern charm and refined modernism. A menu of elegant, Texas-inspired small bites, creative cocktails, and curated live music performances reflect Austin’s vibrant culture.
