We recently profiled Houndstooth brothers Sean and Paul Henry. Here’s what we pronounced about their third Austin spot: “It anchors a Platform chateau formidable nearby a MLK stop on a MetroRail line. It’s also tall, bony and welcoming. The prolonged opposite is corroborated by a food credentials area that will yield some-more food to go along with a coffee, beer, booze and cocktails as a emporium matures. Several features, desirous by trends in a liberality industry, mount out: One can sequence from anywhere in a emporium as baristas make their approach to one’s location; also, one can open a add-on during a longer stay. “We wish to overpass a a.m.-p.m. divide,” Paul says. “People consider coffee emporium in a morning and bar in a evening.
