Lamberts Downtown Barbecue

Lamberts Downtown Barbecue is located in the beautifully restored historic Schneider Brothers Building on 2nd Street in downtown Austin. Established in 2006 by Larry McGuire, Tom Moorman, Will Bridges, Lou Lambert, and a group of Austin friends and investors, it is the first restaurant in the MML family. The menu features slow-smoked barbecue combined with modern Texas cuisine, enhanced by a beverage programme that includes local beers, classic cocktails, new world wines, and an extensive whisky selection. The restaurant provides a fun, relaxed atmosphere with warm, professional service throughout its historic environment. Guests can enjoy an upstairs bar and lounge that often features live music, as well as an outdoor patio with a retractable roof overlooking the Mill Scale BBQ smoker. Lamberts also serves as a versatile event space, offering a second-floor area with a private bar, stage, and state-of-the-art sound system, along with full-service catering and customisable event options for business meetings, rehearsal dinners, birthdays, holiday parties, and full restaurant buyouts.
