Nicely decorated beautiful Valentine pop-up bar  highly recommended to everyone 

If you only have time to eat at one place while visiting Austin, eat at Paperboy!!!!!!! The food was amazing (damn that secret sauce 🤌🏼✨) BUT S/O the staff, everyone was so nice & great vibes all around!

The service was friendly, attentive and helpful. Food was creative and delicious. Only complaint was our table. Circular booth directly to the right when entering the dining area. We sat very close to one another on one edge of the semicircle. If we sat in the middle of the table we were staring directly at the couple next to us. Very uncomfortable. If you sat one on each end of the semicircle you were too far apart to have a conversation. Would definitely request a different table next time.

Fantastic atmosphere and fun menu items make this a wonderful place for a special occasion or a date night. Will definitely consider a return visit to try other items that we didn't get a change to experience.
