Contigo

Great for large groups of friends who want to drink and enjoy a fine meal, Contigo is the first place that residents of Austin think of when they want to have good time. But just make sure to get to Anchor Lane early because the line for dinner forms pretty quickly. And with its hearty, scrumptious menu, it is well worth the wait. At first glance, Contigo may seem as an adults-only establishment, but many parents love bringing their kids to enjoy the fun and boisterous atmosphere. “Though it’s not typically called a family-friendly type of spot, I happen to think it’s one of the best places in town to take our kids,” says Anne Campbell.
