Things To Do
Hooper's Restaurant
Hooper's is a renowned restaurant and pub that offers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a variety of drinks throughout the day. Situated across the street from The Antler's Inn, it has gained popularity among enthusiasts worldwide due to its association with the iconic 1974 horror film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This film, considered a Southern classic, was written and directed by Tobe Hooper, an esteemed Austin filmmaker and alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin. Located at 1001 King Court, our establishment served as the actual filming location for the infamous home of the deranged cannibalistic family in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, including the notorious character Leatherface. In tribute to the legendary Texas filmmaker, Tobe Hooper, who sadly passed away in 2017, we transformed the former Grand Central Cafe into the modern Hooper's.
Perissos Vineyard and Winery
Perissos is a Greek word found in the Bible (Ephesians 3:20) meaning “exceeding abundantly, beyond what is expected, imagined, or hoped for.” A Perissos tasting consists of 6 current release wines, and is very casual. No reservations are required and costs $24 a person. Tours must be booked in advance and cost $40 a person. They run about 1-2 hours long and include a selection of wines that are carefully chosen from the estate based on availability.
