Austin Restaurants, Bars & Venues need our help!

Everyone has felt the financial hardship of the Pandemic. More of our favorite and treasured establishments are closing up shop. Every week we're making a commitment to feature local businesses that could use our help. Let's Keep Austin Weird and shop local!

From Depot Framily Member, René Britt: Hello Donn's lovers, I know many of us have watched as bars and restaurants close, one after the other, worrying what will happen to our beloved Depot. I have been going to Donn's since 1982, it was where Danny and I went on our second date 32 yrs ago and where he has played one Sat. a month for over 15 years. We love the Depot and cannot imagine a world where it does not exist. We met with Donn, Tammi and Michelle last week to brainstorm ways to keep the business afloat. They were proactive and received a PPP loan, but that money runs out this month. As many of you know, they were open for a very short time at 50% capacity, but with all the precautions and extra costs they were losing money daily. Most of you can imagine with home and property prices the way they are in Austin, rent is also sky high, but must be paid in a pandemic. Michelle and Tammi have great ideas for raffle prizes etc. to raise funds, but Danny suggested a Donn's Depot All Star Subscription fund. We can each give a little each month to make sure they can open again when this crisis is over and we can get together again. LET'S SAVE THE DEPOT!!! We need 250 people to pledge $50 a month, to make sure the Depot doesn't have to close. Danny and I are going to make a donation and then commit to $50 a month, for the next year. I know some are in a position to give less, and some will be able to give more, please give what you can. Pledges will go to operational costs only. (rent, utilities and reopening costs) See snail mail, PayPal and Venmo options below. Donn's Depot All - Star Family monthly pledge drive subscription gets you: Invite to a Private Facebook Page Private thank you party with food and drink when the Depot reopens Private Christmas Preview party 2021 Your name on the "wall of thanks" posted in the Depot The knowledge our beloved Depot will still be here Checks payable to: Donn's Depot 1600 W. 5th Street Austin, TX 78703 paypal.me/donnsdepot venmo:@donn-adelman I hope you are staying safe and healthy, Rene Britt 512.970.6213

Have we told you lately that we love you? ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 We always feel that way, but today we’re especially grateful... after 10 full days of fundraising, we are at 35% of our goal! 🤯 That’s incredible, y’all. Like, mindblowingly awesome. We are immeasurably grateful to all of you. 🙏🥰😭 We are actively pursuing a few funding options we’ve heard about, and we appreciate every like, share and order you’ve made over the past ten days (and beyond). Our GoFundMe is still live (link in bio ☝️) and we’ve added a donation link in our web store to make it easier for anyone who wants to give directly to us. THANK YOU. Truly. We’re beginning to believe we can do this. 💪👊💙 #eatlocal . . . #madefromscratch #atxeats #keepaustineatin #bestfoodaustin #atxfoodie #austinfoodstagram #512eats #atx #austin #austineats #austin360eats #austinfoodies #austinfood #eateratx #eatdrinklocal #texasfoodgawker #eatingatx #eeeeeats #atxbakery

Hey Texas Football Fans! You know the Texas-OU game is this weekend. Stay safe and stay home by throwing yourself (and your pod?) your own backyard tailgate party. Up your tailgating game and simultaneously boost your Texas pride with Texas-made products. We recommend our Taste of Texas grab bag or box (pictured here) which includes 3 Texas cheeses and 3 Texas pairings. And if you drink, we recommend grabbing some locally-owned @barbecuewife Bloody Mary or Margarita mix (available at most our groceries and liquor stores). I’ve been craving Bloody Marys, so here are some pairings to complement it: Pairing 1: @ckcfarms Jalapeno Artichoke Chevre (Blanco, TX) with @viscacharcuteria Tuscan Salami Pairing 2: @veldhuizencheese Redneck or Sheep Cheddar (Dublin, TX) with @cocoapuro Kakawa's Chocolate Covered Cocoa Beans (Austin, TX) Pairing 3: @riverwheycheese Caldera Espana (Schertz, TX) with @blueherontexas Cajeta - goat milk caramel (Field Store, TX) **** Fun Add ons: @sheenaspickles Pickled Okra or Spicy Pickles (Austin, TX) @the_sourdough_project Whole Wheat Crackers (Austin, TX) @austinjamcompany Jam Sessions (Austin, TX) You can also order anything online or by phone a la carte to get just the item(s) you need. What’d ya say #TexasFans? #TexasFootball #TexasLonghornsFootball #TexasLonghorns #tailgatingathome #tailgating #austin
