Downtown Austin's Destination for Oysters, Steaks & 6th Street Dining
Parkside has been a fixture among restaurants in downtown Austin since 2008, when Chef Shawn Cirkiel opened the city’s first gastropub on historic East 6th Street. Long before farm‑to‑table became an Austin staple, Parkside was leading the way with ingredient‑driven cuisine, sustainable sourcing, and a focus on seasonal flavors.
Renowned for its raw bar, Parkside serves freshly shucked Northeast Coast oysters with house‑made mignonettes and sauces, along with ceviche, raw bass, and beef tartare.
The menu also features expertly prepared steaks, including a New York strip praised for its generous portion and exceptional preparation.
Parkside offerings evolve with the seasons, showcasing elevated American classics made with local produce, sustainably raised meats, and premium seafood.
