Stiles Switch plays tribute to these Texas “greats” by assembling a passionate team with decades of industry experience. Stiles is focused on setting the bar high with his “no corners cut” methods of preparation and selection of quality product. Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew, set in the historic art deco 1950s Violet Crown Shopping Center on N. Lamar, is designed to host a nostalgic atmosphere that transcends back to the old Austin neighborhood style eatery which combines exceptional Texas BBQ , great atmosphere, and cold Texas craft brews. FUN FACT: The Violet Crown Shopping Center, one of the “oldest” shopping centers in central Austin, was also the film production hub for the late 1990s film “Dazed and Confused” starring Matthew McConaughey. The Stiles Switch BBQ lease space is the famed “Emporium” pool hall filmed in the movie. The Stiles Switch BBQ crew is excited about breathing new life into a historic part of central Austin and revitalizing the community that surrounds them. Another key feature of the concept includes the craft brew features on tap. Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew, will pay homage to the local and Texas craft brewers by hosting a variety of Austin craft brew favorites from the likes of new and established local breweries as well as the domestic Texas favorites for the not so adventurous.
