go-to places. I have a theory I live by called the two-thirds method. The three components for a successful night out are good people, good drinks and a good atmosphere. My theory is if you have at least two out of these three components, you are destined to have a good time. I’ll give you the drinks and the atmosphere, but the people are up to you – the perfect equation to an amazing night! Doing all of this with a healthy mindset just levels up your evening! You can have your glutenfree cake, and eat it too. Balance is key, and you should be able to go out guilt-free with friends without being the “health police,” aka, a total buzzkill. Here’s your guide to local Austin favorites with a cheat sheet to healthy options. Now, as we all know, Austin is growing rapidly, which directly correlates with the lines and crowds. So I am reluctant to share some favorites with you, but who am I to gatekeep these gems?

If you’re craving a hill country view and a night outside to enjoy the crisp weather, spend the evening at 5 Soul Winery. It is the epitome of Spicewood in all its glory and perfect for sharing a few glasses of wine or their delicious fall sangria accompanied by local artists’ live music. Though it is a more casual, relaxed location for a night out, you can play pickleball if you’re feeling active! Personally, I love their frosé made with organic juice and their own rosé. The more calories you burn, the more glasses you earn – am I right?
