After 10 years serving the Austin community with unique donuts and cocktails, local landmark Gourdough's Public House, will be closing their brick and mortar location on South Lamar at the end of this week and concluding foodservice this Sunday Night, Nov. 6, 2022, with a final goodbye party. They hope everyone will join them this weekend for some incredible food, drink specials, and fond memories. 

Business partners Paula Samford and Ryan Palmer said that many factors went into deciding to close the restaurant. Ryan Palmer said, "It's a bittersweet decision but with an upcoming residential project being built in the near future at the location, coupled with two years of extreme labor shortages, inflation, increased food cost and the desire to pursue other opportunities, we felt like it was the right time to conclude business after 10 happy years of food service."

Gourdough's will continue serving up their delicious donut concoctions at their original food trailer located at 1503 South 1st St., as well as opening new food trailer locations and continuing to expand their catering program. 

Paula Samford said, "We have decided to go back to our food trailer roots and focus on festivals, catering events, and opening new food trailers in the outer edges of Austin to better serve the growing Austin community as a whole."

Starting this Friday through Sunday, the entire Gourdough's Public House staff would like to invite local fans to celebrate 10 incredible years of service with them, which will include: all-day brunch, spectacular food specials and cocktail specials like $5 you-call-it drinks & $2 draft beers.
