Restaurants and bars play a huge role in Austin s community and camaraderie, and two new spots hope to reignite a small bit of Austin s sense of togetherness, one pod at a time.
In the Cherrywood neighborhood just off of Airport, Bobo s Snack Bar quietly opened last week. Married couple Bethany Andrée and Karl Gilkey owned South Congress Snack Bar, the restaurant at Austin Motel for seven years, until they lost their lease in 2016 when the property was sold. Their new snacky bar venture, Bobo s, has been three years, three months, and two weeks in the making, says Andrée.
