WHY THIS SUPPER CLUB MATTERS
This isn’t a typical restaurant night out. The Off The Menu Supper Club format invites acclaimed chefs to design dishes they don’t normally serve—culinary experiments, refined versions of beloved flavors, and one-off creations you’ll likely never see again. Chef Nic Yanes, known for Juniper and Uncle Nicky’s, brings his Uchi-honed creativity into the cozy, community-focused space of Murray’s Tavern, which opened in 2023 on Webberville Road. If you like staying ahead of the curve on local openings, you’ll also want to see what’s happening next in Austin’s food world at Roxie’s in Buda.
THE COMMUNITY CONNECTION
A portion of every ticket goes directly to the Texas Food & Wine Alliance, whose grants have helped Austin favorites like Rosen’s Bagel Co., Casey’s New Orleans Snowballs, and Three Six General expand and innovate. Your dinner directly fuels future local food businesses, and you can dive deeper into the Alliance’s impact via the Texas Food & Wine Alliance site.
Consider pairing this supper club with a future visit to Alliance-backed spots like Rosen’s Bagel Co., Casey’s New Orleans Snowballs, or Three Six General—you’ll see firsthand how these grants shape everyday Austin eating.
INSIDER INTELLIGENCE
• Arrive early for the Tito’s martini welcome—bartenders typically create off‑menu variations for supper club guests.
Show up a little before the 6:00 pm welcome cocktail to settle in, chat with the bartenders, and try any off-menu martini riffs before the first course hits.
• Murray’s Tavern replaced the longtime Gourmand’s Neighborhood Pub, so expect deep East Austin regulars mixed with culinary insiders. If you’re planning to make a full evening of it in the area, brush up on East Austin parking tactics before you go.
Parking along Webberville Road and the surrounding East Austin streets can be tight on busy nights—budget extra time or opt for rideshare so you don’t miss the welcome pour.
• Seating tends to follow a communal format at these events; request end‑of‑table seating if you prefer more space.
If you’re bringing a date or just like a little personal space, ask for end-of-table or corner spots when you check in—staff are usually happy to help if you arrive early.
• These dinners often sell out quietly—if seats remain, they’re usually released through Eventbrite only.
Set an Eventbrite alert and keep an eye on the listing the week of the event—last-minute cancellations sometimes free up a few coveted seats.
This one-night-only supper club blends culinary creativity, local impact, and East Austin character—making it one of February’s most compelling dining events in the city. And if you’re building out a full February calendar in Austin, consider pairing it with another standout one‑night experience like Eddie Izzard at the Paramount for a culture‑packed week.
