It’s no secret that Mueller is one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the city. Formerly Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, it’s now a 700 acre mixed-income, mixed-use community. Mueller has just about anything you need: Bustling nightlife, restaurants, a movie theater, an abundance of family friendly offerings, and most importantly H-E-B!

🎬 Movie or a Show?

Alamo Drafthouse and Barrel O’ Fun share a spot on Aldrich Street. Not only can you take advantage of Alamo’s diverse movie selection and programming, but Barrel O’ Fun hosts events ranging from trivia nights and poetry slams to stand-up comedy showcases. It’s a great one-stop-shop for any day of the week!

🍔 Feeling Hungry?

There is no shortage of places to catch a bite in Mueller. Iconic Austin eateries Kerbey Lane and Chuy’s are a must if you’re feeling nostalgic. L’Oca d’Oro is a good date night spot for locally grown farm-to-table Italian-inspired food. Want something quick and on the go? Head over to the food truck park near the hangar and check out The Original New Orleans Po-Boy and Gumbo Shop for some truly life changing Cajun food, or Conscious Cravings for vegan wraps, salads, and more! If making your own delicious food is more your speed, Texas Farmers’ Market is open every Sunday 10am-2pm.

🥂 Wellness

OK, I know!! But hear me out: The options for health and wellness in Mueller are kinda awesome. Firstly, there are 140 acres of parks and open space that includes a 5 mile hike-and-bike trail loop, 10 park areas, and a lake. There are various businesses dedicated to health and wellness like Swish Dental, Whole Family Chiropractors, and Massage Heights. Lastly, if you want to pamper yourself a little you have to stop by Great Nails or any of the countless retail stores in the neighborhood.
