The Belmont

The Belmont is one of our favorite places in Austin.  Great outdoor patio with free movies in the summer, live music, strong margaritas, and the interior makes you feel like you're in a gangster movie.
The food and drinks can be a bit pricey but luckily there are great happy hour specials: half priced appetizers and cocktails.  These happy hour cocktails were $5 each.

Fruit and cheese salads are hard for me to pass up.  This one had arugula, pear & goat cheese. ($5.95) mmm, so good. 
This shiner bock onion ring cone is normally $7.95, but $3.95 at happy hour.  Ryan ordered it for his appetizer and later found out his main dish came with onion rings.
This butternut squash ravioli ($14.95) was one of the best versions of this dish I've had.  Pine nuts and sage brown butter... I just wish there were more raviolis!  
The surf and turf sliders, made with beef tenderloin & scallops, are normally $13.95, but $6.95 at happy hour.  Wow, Ryan is a much cheaper date than I am.
