📊About THE BISTRO
THE BISTRO reported mixed-beverage sales at 9409 STONELAKE BLVD, AUSTIN, Texas 78759 in Travis County. Its last reported month was October 2019, at $5,775. 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 $71,259 over 17 monthly returns, June 2018 through October 2019 (2018 – 2019). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was April 2019, at $6,684.
The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for this location as having ended on 2019-10-29. 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, June 2018 – October 2019
17 monthly returns filed by THE BISTRO. 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.
Monthly Revenue by Category
17 months of data • Hover or tap to exploreMonths 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 THE BISTRO still open?
- The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for THE BISTRO as having ended on 2019-10-29, with its final return filed for October 2019. 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. Its last month with receipts was October 2019, at $5,775. 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 THE BISTRO make? (October 2019)
- THE BISTRO reported $5,775 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for October 2019, +0.5% against September 2019 and +62.3% against October 2018. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $71,259 across 17 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue.
- Where was THE BISTRO located in AUSTIN?
- THE BISTRO filed mixed-beverage returns for 9409 STONELAKE BLVD, AUSTIN, TX 78759, in Travis County. The address is taken from the venue's filings, the most recent of which covers October 2019.
- What did THE BISTRO sell?
- Over November 2018 – October 2019 (the last 12 reported months), THE BISTRO reported 30% liquor, 41% wine, 30% beer and 0% cover charges. The largest share was wine. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is THE BISTRO 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 THE BISTRO is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for October 2019, THE BISTRO ranked #1292 of 1468 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #35 of 44 venues in ZIP 78759. 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 THE BISTRO data cover?
- 17 reported months, June 2018 through October 2019. 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 THE BISTRO'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. THE BISTRO last filed for October 2019, 82 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.
