Mom + Dad

Howdy!

It was our dream to open a neighborhood bar serving good food, great cocktails, and good old fashioned southern hospitality with New Orleans-meets-Austin vibes.

Everyone is welcome at the Cavalier - we say "You Be You". Just don't be a jerk.

As a true mom and pop shop we are happy to share our space with such great friends, neighbors, and visitors. And happy to watch our young daughter grow up around good folks.

It is our goal to provide a welcoming and supportive community hub for all.

Come on by!
