NEWK'S EATERY
$122 in mixed-beverage sales, February 2022
NEWK'S EATERY also filed a mixed-beverage return for July 2022 reporting no receipts. A zero-receipt return is a filed return with nothing on it — most often a formality on a permit period that has closed — so it is not read here as a month of trade, and no percentage on this page is measured from it. The figures above cover February 2022, the newest month with receipts.

📊About NEWK'S EATERY
NEWK'S EATERY reported mixed-beverage sales at 408 CONGRESS AVE, AUSTIN, Texas 78701 in Travis County. Its last reported month was February 2022, at $122. The Comptroller record stops there. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
Across its filing history this location reported $23,605 over 55 monthly returns, January 2018 through July 2022 (2018 – 2022). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was March 2018, at $3,780.
The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for this location as having ended on 2022-07-31. That is the state saying the permit period closed, which is stronger evidence than a simple gap in filings — but it still describes a permit, not a front door.

📈Monthly Receipts, January 2018 – July 2022
55 monthly returns filed by NEWK'S EATERY. Months with no filing are absent from the series rather than plotted as zero — a missing month means the venue did not file, which is not the same as reporting nothing. A month that was filed with no receipts is a real filing and is plotted, on the baseline and marked, because that too is a different fact from either of the other two.
A later return was filed for July 2022 reporting no receipts. It is plotted below at the baseline and marked with a ring, but it is not treated as this venue's latest month of trade.
Monthly Revenue by Category
55 months of data • Hover or tap to explore20 of these 55 months were filed as a return reporting no receipts — plotted on the baseline and ringed, because a filed $0 return is a real filing, not revenue. Months with no return filed at all are not in this series: the line skips them rather than dropping to the baseline, so a gap in filing never reads as a month of zero sales.
Annual Comparison
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year with fewer than 12 filed months is marked — a part-year total is not comparable to a full one.
📅Year by Year
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year-over-year change is shown only where both years are effectively complete — comparing a full year against a four-month stub would be a fabricated collapse.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
- Is NEWK'S EATERY still open?
- The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for NEWK'S EATERY as having ended on 2022-07-31, with its final return filed for July 2022. That is the state stating the permit period closed, which is the strongest closure signal in this dataset — but it describes a permit, not a front door. That return reported no receipts — a filed return with nothing on it, which is not a month of trade. Its newest month with receipts is February 2022, at $122. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
- How much does NEWK'S EATERY make? (February 2022)
- NEWK'S EATERY reported $122 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for February 2022, a change of -$31 from the previous month. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $23,605 across 55 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue. NEWK'S EATERY also filed a mixed-beverage return for July 2022 reporting no receipts. A zero-receipt return is a filed return with nothing on it — most often a formality on a permit period that has closed — so it is not read here as a month of trade, and no percentage on this page is measured from it. The figures above cover February 2022, the newest month with receipts.
- Where was NEWK'S EATERY located in AUSTIN?
- NEWK'S EATERY filed mixed-beverage returns for 408 CONGRESS AVE, AUSTIN, TX 78701, in Travis County. The address is taken from the venue's filings, the most recent of which covers July 2022.
- What did NEWK'S EATERY sell?
- Over August 2021 – July 2022 (the last 12 reported months), NEWK'S EATERY reported 0% liquor, 0% wine, 100% beer and 0% cover charges. The largest share was beer. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is NEWK'S EATERY busy? How does it rank among Austin bars?
- This dataset tracks mixed-beverage receipts, not foot traffic, so there is no direct measure of how busy NEWK'S EATERY is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for February 2022, NEWK'S EATERY ranked #1590 of 1598 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #233 of 234 venues in ZIP 78701. A higher-ranked venue sells more alcohol in a month; it is not a measure of how crowded it is at any given time, and that is a single month's rank, not a lifetime one.
- What time period does the NEWK'S EATERY data cover?
- 55 reported months, January 2018 through July 2022. Mixed-beverage receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes; the newest month currently published for the Austin metro is August 2026. Every figure on this page names the exact window it covers, because a single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities.
- Where does NEWK'S EATERY's revenue data come from?
- The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, a monthly record every Texas mixed-beverage permit holder is required by law to file. This page reads that dataset directly and adds no estimates, no modelled figures and no user reviews.
ℹ️How to Read This Page
What mixed-beverage gross receipts are
Every bar, restaurant and venue in Texas holding a mixed-beverage permit must report its monthly alcoholic-beverage sales to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Those returns cover liquor, wine, beer and cover charges. They do not cover food, retail or non-alcoholic sales, so these figures are a slice of a venue's business, not its revenue.
Why every number here names a window
A single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities, and averaging a venue's whole history produces a number that has never been true of any actual month. Each figure on this page therefore carries the exact period it covers. Where a comparison needs history this venue does not have — a full prior year, two complete twelve-month windows, three complete calendar years for a seasonal index — the comparison is omitted and the reason is stated, rather than shown as a zero.
How current is this?
Receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes. The newest month currently published for the Austin metro is August 2026, and every recency judgement on this page is measured against that month rather than against today's date — so a late publication by the Comptroller never changes a venue's status. NEWK'S EATERY last filed for July 2022, 49 months behind it.
What a stopped filing does and does not mean
A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open. A gap can also be a remodel, a seasonal close, a permit transfer or a slow filer. This page never states that a business is closed; it states when it last filed.
