Courtesy of Cassandra Klepac Photography Love is in the air in Austin, and one new neighborhood restaurant and cocktail lounge hopes sharing the love puts diners in good spirits.
Honey Moon Spirit Lounge, which opened this week at 624 W. 34th St. in Central Austin in the space formerly occupied by Salvation Pizza, is the passion project of an Austin couple who parlayed their pandemic-affected wedding plans into a labor-of-love restaurant featuring a menu piled high with elevated comfort food.

If you ve driven down 34th Street in recent months, you ve noticed the transformation of one building that has been a hospitality staple in the neighborhood for years.
The bungalow that was home to Starlite and then the first Salvation Pizza has a new face. Honey Moon Spirit Lounge opens on Tuesday at 624 W. 34th St..
When co-owners Reed Calhoun, a musician and longtime restaurant veteran, and Adrienne Wiggins saw the pandemic postpone their planned wedding, the couple started thinking about a honeymoon on a different scale. Why not open their own bar and restaurant and name it Honey Moon, a space where they could celebrate their love and express their passion for hospitality, as they say in a news release announcing the opening?
