Hey Austin 💛 One of our fellow runners, Chad, was involved in an automobile accident on April 4 while training downtown. We’re coming together to support him and his family during recovery — and we’d love for you to join us.
📍 Benefit Run for Chad
☕ Better Half Coffee & Cocktails
📅 Saturday, May 16
⏰ Run starts at 7:15 AM
Better Half opens at 8:00 AM and will feature a special menu, with proceeds from every purchase going directly to the family.
Let’s show up strong for one of our own — whether you run, walk, or just come grab a coffee and support. Every step, every sip makes a difference. ❤️

Mother’s Day, a day for all the people who mother or have been mothered. Mother’s Day isn’t always for a ‘Mom’ and it isn’t always a warm fuzzy feeling, but we don’t just celebrate our moms, we cheers to all the people that cared for us on this day by caring for them. So bring your bestie to brunch, and take your dog on an extra long walk, give your aunt a bottle of wine and tell your ex you appreciate them teaching you how to to do your laundry.
Get yourself a mom (or someone motherly) that can party with you and be there for you like this cool lady and our wine buyer @leenie_boyle
The official wine to drink on mother’s day is Domaine Jousset ‘Exile’ Sparkling Rose. Zippy, crushable, basically orangina but pink. “I was privileged to have an incredibly strong, very funny, patient and caring Mom and I hope to be just like her when I grow up (which should happen any day now). If she didn’t live 2000 miles away, I’d bring her to BH to share a bottle or two because we’re into that sorta thing.” -LeenDawg Boyle
Also pancakes and eggs. Mom's love pancakes and eggs....and a nice rosemary latte.... -BH

Hey y'all! This is our newest SLOPPEE ™️, Pickle Rita.
Its a frozen margarita. It's chock fulla pickly goodness. Like pickle juice and actual pickle garnish in a balanced and deeeeelicious MARG-Y and its only 10 American Dollars today. Its also corndogs & HALF OFF wine bottles day. I'm no CPA, but this is DEFINITELY financial advice.... grab a couple corn dawgs, 2 sloppee-tizers, and a briney-ass bottle of skin contact grape juice. You'll have plenty of $$$ left to tip like the angel we all know you are.
Ya know, we heard that this "appetizer" thing is V popular and figured that maybe our Better Half besties might could want something snacky and shares-y for when y'all are at the PINKnic tables making eyes and making jokes and making cocktails disappear. This here is called Lil' Chicken Chimichingas and its basically best friends with Head West. If you follow this account and you dont know about Head West you officially have homework. See ya at the Half, bozos.
Its a bucket Hat kinda Monday at the Half. Is there a reason? Who could say? Will it make you smile? Assuming you're an alive human, we think YES. Wear your own bucket Hat and we'll give you....lets say.... 15% off your tab today. Why not?
Weathers been doing weather. Lotta blue, lotta grey, lotta soggy socks, lotta happy plants. But sometimes them greys might give a sun-loving-austinite the blues. So, for the sprinkly springtime Leenie suggests ‘if you’ve got the blues, drink the reds’. This Gamay Noir from Arnot Roberts is just the ticket. Juicy but with a solid equilibrium, like a bramble berry’s first time at the disco. These are things @leenie_boyle knows about, we're certain. Also tonight is HALF OFF WINE BOTTLES night, so hurry up.

The bakers have concocted a new MAPLE BROWN SUGAR BACON DANISH and frickin' heck, is it good! You can dunk it in yer coffee, you can ask us to fry a egg and put it on top, or you can just stuff it in your oversized Chore Jacket pocket on this cool beautiful day and give 'er a nibble as you wander around Austin. Them crumbs are an October-you issue. Besides, bacon's what pockets are for, bozos.

This here is Barrel X Riesling by @lauerwine . Its Leendawg's wine pick of the week and these are photos of it in the "wild". Leendawg told me it smells like the tires on yer car, but I dont know how she knows that. She also said its a crispy humidity crusher what tastes like pear & green apple & lemon. Sounds pretty swaller-able if'n ya ask me. Perfect for chasing corndawgs
