When a new bar opens up it becomes an exciting and eventful time for the sheer fact that you are not at the same ol' Red River bar or the Longbranch. Shangri-La is Austin's newest addition to the east 6th street bar/lounge/coffee shop line up, which includes Rio Rita: a cozy coffee shop by day and lounge bar at night and The Good Knight: a dark and sultry bar with a full French inspired menu.
From the outside, Shangri-La appears to to a space with well...much space. However, a painted sign on the front of the building instructs customers to 'please use garden entrance'. Garden entrance you say? Ah, yes. As you walk through the side gate, you realize you just walked into an amazingly large beer garden canopied under Christmas lights and littered with tables and chairs. There is also a shed turned full bar outside for those extra crowded nights. Inside, the space is gracious, the drinks are cheap, and the bartenders are friendly.
