ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR
$1,051 in mixed-beverage sales, November 2023 (-12.0% vs. October 2023)
ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR also filed a mixed-beverage return for April 2024 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 November 2023, the newest month with receipts.

📊About ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR
ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR reported mixed-beverage sales at 200 BUTTERCUP CREEK BLVD STE 118, CEDAR PARK, Texas 78613 in Williamson County. Its last reported month was November 2023, at $1,051. 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 $20,047 over 26 monthly returns, March 2022 through April 2024 (2022 – 2024). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was October 2022, at $3,021.
The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for this location as having ended on 2024-04-08. 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, March 2022 – April 2024
26 monthly returns filed by ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR. 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 April 2024 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
26 months of data • Hover or tap to explore9 of these 26 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 ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR still open?
- The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR as having ended on 2024-04-08, with its final return filed for April 2024. 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 November 2023, at $1,051. 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 ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR make? (November 2023)
- ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR reported $1,051 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for November 2023, -12.0% against October 2023 and -64.8% against November 2022. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $20,047 across 26 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue. ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR also filed a mixed-beverage return for April 2024 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 November 2023, the newest month with receipts.
- Where was ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR located in CEDAR PARK?
- ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR filed mixed-beverage returns for 200 BUTTERCUP CREEK BLVD STE 118, CEDAR PARK, TX 78613, in Williamson County. The address is taken from the venue's filings, the most recent of which covers April 2024.

- Is ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR 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 ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for November 2023, ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR ranked #1714 of 1792 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #56 of 60 venues in ZIP 78613. 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 ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR data cover?
- 26 reported months, March 2022 through April 2024. Mixed-beverage receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes; the newest month currently published for the Austin metro is July 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 ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR'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 July 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. ZEN'S CAFE LOUNGE & BAR last filed for April 2024, 27 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.
