Austin 360
New Waterloo, the hospitality group behind some of Austin s top restaurants, this week confirmed a rumor: Late last year, it sold the property that was home to its restaurant Sway on South First Street. The upscale Thai restaurant, which opened in 2012 and closed indefinitely last spring due to the coronavirus pandemic, is permanently shuttered. Selling Sway’s South First location was bittersweet. We poured our heart and soul into that project and are proud of the community built and grateful for the meals and memories shared with guests and team members, New Waterloo president Delfo Trombetta said in an email to the American-Statesman. The Sway brand lives on and we hope to keep welcoming our community for many years to come.
