Far South Austin roadhouse Indian Roller calls it quits.
On Oct. 6, Indian Roller, the teeny bar just south of Slaughter Lane on Menchaca Road, announced its closure viaalongside the lineup for its 8th anniversary party, which muffles if not softens the blow. It allows time to visit, and mourn the loss of another independent, eclectic Austin business that welcomed everyone inside.
Indian Roller is on the surface a postage-sized dive bar in which a variety of memories may be made: singing karaoke, playing drag loteria, watching bands, eating from food trucks. But the little roadhouse lives on an eight-acre lot with a total of four buildings, all of which are zoned to sell drinks, and spots for five food trucks including water and electrical hookups and ethernet connections for each. All that, plus a lot of green space.
BR: Oh, I love that. And it’s going to be missed, it’s a part of my soul. That area deserves something amazing. I hope to partner with someone and curate, in that sense. I love the change and growth in Austin, it’s a beautiful thing. But I want to see that heart and soul I saw in Austin 20 years ago. Where people can walk in and be accepted no matter who they are. Like their grandma’s house.BR: We’re talking to way too many people right now. It's all preliminary.
Indian Roller’s 8th anniversary party is on October 22, kicks off at 4pm, and is free. David Ramirez, Weed Martyr, The Kelly Doyle Trio, The Heavenly States, and Heartchaser will play. There’s a photobooth and the East Austin Handmade Arts Market will be on site. October 23 will be the bar’s last day of operation.has been Austin’s independent news source for over 40 years, expressing the community’s political and environmental concerns and supporting its active cultural scene.
