Even More Exciting Restaurant Openings to Know in Austin This July
Every month, a new crop of restaurants opens in and around Austin. While everyone loves a good sushi spot, food truck, or outdoor patio, this round-up will give you the high-end spots and the low-end spots that are new to town — be they good, bad, or so bad they're good/so good they're bad. Whether it's a locally owned restaurant or the latest addition of a chain, here's what's happening in the world of restaurant openings in Austin and beyond for the month. Send your openings news to austin@ 1123 East 11th Street in Austin One of our most anticipated openings of the year opened at the Frances Modern Inn. The menu is by chef Laila Bazahm, who also owns El Raval on South Lamar, and has a culinary career that includes serving as executive chef at Eberly and owning restaurants in Barcelona, Singapore, Houston, and Ibiza. The menu marries the small plates of tapas with finger foods from the hawker center of Singapore. Look for dishes including a hiramasa (yellowtail king fish) with Tom Kha Kai broth, Thai chili oil, Asian herb emulsion, smoked trout roe, and Asian pear; Sambal Striped Bass that is banana leaf-wrapped and grilled, and served with pineapple and tomato salad plus nasi lemak; and charcoal-fired lamb chops with butter masala, tamarind, and naan with cheese. Late-night sushi is coming, but for now get a preview of Konbini. Konbini 908 East Fifth Street, #107 in Austin Konbini, a late-night sushi spot collab between Papercut and Tare, is doing a pop-up now and will open later this fall. Chefs Michael Carranza and Danielle Martinez of Michelin-recognized Tare are running the kitchen, creating dishes that marry Japanese technique with Texan and coastal Mexican flavors. It is walk-in only — find it behind Papercut, operating during that restaurant's opening hours. Bring on the hot pot and chiles. Old Hot Pot Alley Austin 11900 Metric Boulevard, Suite F in Austin The owners of Mian and Bao bring this new Sichuan mala (meaning numbing and spicy) hot pot spot to Austin. The dishes feature broths, including a spicy beef tallow, pork bone, and a tomato-based option that is vegan. Those are paired with the diner's choice of beef and lamb, or Sichuan delicacies including honeycomb tripe, goose intestine, duck gizzards, and beef aorta. The owners are chef Tony Xu, a 2018 James Beard Award Semifinalist, and Sean Xie. The nostalgic interiors reference hot pot culture from Chengdu and Chongqing in the '80s and '90s. Try all three of these cocktails during summer happy hour for $20. Kaitlyn Hughes 400 Colorado Street in Austin Co-founders Terance Robson (Two Doors Down in NYC, and Here Nor There in Austin) and Jack 'Slim' Hogan (also of Here Nor There) are the folks behind this underground lounge in the basement of Tiger Lily. Expect drinks by Robson like the Sunshine Sazerac (mango cognac, banana whiskey, vanilla Peychaud, and watermelon cordial), Salero (vodka, mango, vanilla sorbet, freshly squeezed orange juice, and bubbles), and Caragigilo (reposado tequila, sweet vermouth, miso, liquor 43 smoke & spent coffee). The bar is running a summer happy hour Tuesday to Saturday from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., when your choice of three cocktails costs only $20. An orange cocktail, two dishes of food, and a smaller cocktail sit on a table. The Pershing 2501 East Fifth Street in Austin All-day coffee spot Perishing East has added a cocktail arm. The restaurant becomes Perishing Milkman from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily, serving classics like the negroni or iced Irish coffee, along with a menu of new cocktails (including a monthly special), wines, and beer — as well as light bar bites. It also serves mocktails for those who want to hang out, but not drink. Additionally, it is offering a to-go bottled cocktail program, including clarified, shelf-stable versions of classic cocktails and tropical drinks including a margarita, Miami Vice (rum, pineapple, strawberry, lime, Mahina coco, clarified in coconut milk), and Whiskey Punch (bourbon, lemon, bergamot, Earl Grey tea, clarified in honeycomb cereal milk) that are available on Favor and DoorDash with takeaway delivery also available to order online. Bring all your friends and enjoy a drink. Revenge Bar 507 West Avenue in Austin The 'revenge' at this bar comes from founder and mixologist Emily Smitheal, who says in a press release that she is 'frustrated' with all the outsiders trying to shape the city and its hospitality scene. Her revenge is serving what she calls 'bold' cocktails, including The Devil Made Me Do It (a spicy margarita with hints of orange, lime, blackberry, and agave), Sleep On It, Sweetheart (a spring on the espresso martini made with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cold foam), and Brushfire (Rosaluna mezcal, Campari, sage, jalapeño, lime, grapefruit, and clarified milk). The design is pretty classic late-night cocktail bar, with small marble-topped tables, red velvet seat covers, low and red-tinted lighting, and a curvy bar with mid-century modern style. 3363 E. Commerce Street, Suite 104 in San Antonio A catering spot in San Antonio is turning into a pop-up with limited service for barbecue lovers. Starting on July 23, it is open Mondays and Tuesdays from 11 a.m. until it sells out (or 7 p.m., whichever comes first). All the expected smoked meats are on offer, including brisket, barbacoa, pork carnitas, turkey, turkey legs, pecan-smoked chicken, and Polish sausages, along with a lesser-seen barbecue item in Texas — St. Louis-style ribs.

West Ham United ‘interested' in signing 22-year-old AC Milan star
Milan's Midfield Revolution Signals a New Era Under Allegri and Tare Fresh Faces, Familiar Intentions Milan's transfer activity is gathering momentum, and it is not just about who arrives at San Siro this summer. With the Ricci deal edging closer, Jashari in the crosshairs and discussions underway for Xhaka, there is clear intent from Massimiliano Allegri and sporting director Igli Tare to lay solid foundations after a season of tactical inconsistency. As reported by TuttoMercato, a 'half revolution is underway to restart,' marking the beginning of a new era. Outgoings Reflect Shift in Strategy But every incoming wave requires an outgoing tide. Milan are clearly trimming the squad to reshape their identity. 'Among the players leaving, in addition to Theo Hernandez who is virtually an Al Hilal player, there are three names leaving in midfield,' writes Tuttosport. Theo's departure would be symbolic, and so too would the exits of Yunus Musah, Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer, all of whom once carried high expectations. Premier League Beckons for Musah For Yunus Musah, 'the Rossoneri are waiting for the Premier League,' with West Ham showing long-standing interest. Talks previously broke down due to Napoli's stance on Anguissa, but Milan's patience may finally be rewarded. Photo IMAGO Adli and Bennacer's Future in Limbo Adli and Bennacer, according to Tuttosport, are on the margins of Allegri's plans. 'The ball is mostly in the court of their respective agents who will have to find a solution for their clients.' Both players are at a crossroads, with technical profiles that once promised more than they ultimately delivered. Advertisement Milan fans will recognise this is not merely a rebuild but a redefining of identity. With Allegri back at the helm and Tare pulling the strings, the next chapter begins with bold choices and brave exits. Our View – EPL Analysis As a European football observer, this report feels like a red flag wrapped in a well-worded press release. Milan are hitting the reset button with Allegri and Tare, but selling so many key players in one sweep risks further instability. Theo Hernandez, effectively an Al Hilal player now, represents not just a loss of quality but also a symbol of star power walking out the door. Musah's possible move to West Ham? That might excite Premier League fans, but for Milan it screams of talent slipping through fingers just as it could blossom. Adli and Bennacer were once supposed to be the future of Milan's midfield engine. Now their agents are 'finding solutions' while Allegri appears set to discard them. Advertisement There's a worry here for fans that the 'half revolution' described could become a full collapse if results do not follow early. Milan may be laying new foundations, but these decisions need to be nailed down with performances or the structure could crumble just as quickly. Fans will back the badge, but Allegri and Tare must prove this overhaul is a vision, not a gamble.

USMNT's Christian Pulisic will be a ‘key player' for Milan next season, says sporting director
Christian Pulisic will be a 'key player' for Milan next season and discussions over a contract extension will take place, the Serie A club's sporting director Igli Tare said. The 26-year-old U.S. men's national team forward recorded 17 goals and 12 assists for Milan last season, the most fruitful season in front of goal of his career despite the club's eighth-place finish. With his existing contract set to expire in 2027, Tare, who was appointed as Milan's sporting director in May, said there will be discussions over a renewal in good time. Advertisement 'I will have the opportunity to discuss the renewal with Giorgio [Furlani, Milan chief executive officer] at the right time but right now we are only focused on the team,' Tare said at a news conference. Following Stefano Pioli's departure as head coach last summer, his immediate successor Paulo Fonseca was dismissed within six months of his appointment. His replacement, Sergio Conceicao, took charge for the remainder of the campaign but also parted ways with the club after failing to secure European football with their lowest league placing since 2015-16. Pulisic still impressed for Milan and was consistently available with 50 appearances in all competitions, his 11 league goals the highest in the squad. Tare recognised the forward's contributions and said he 'has a central role in this group'. 'I think he was one of the most positive players last season and he is one of the pillars of the season to come,' Tare added. Massimiliano Allegri was appointed as Milan's new head coach shortly after Tare's arrival. The 57-year-old previously held the position of head coach at the San Siro from 2010-2014, and won a Scudetto with the club in 2010-11. Pulisic opted to not make himself available for the USMNT's Gold Cup squad this month, and was left out by Mauricio Pochettino for the preceding friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland. ()

Chelsea sent final transfer message by AC Milan over Mike Maignan transfer
AC Milan sporting director Igli Tare has insisted that Mike Maignan will not leave the club this summer despite an approach from Chelsea. Chelsea had explored a deal for Maignan before the Club World Cup as a potential upgrade on their current goalkeepeing options. The Milan captain, who has one year left on his deal, was keen on a move to Stamford Bridge, but both sides failed to reach an agreement prior to the tournament. Enzo Maresca's side were only willing to pay around £15million for the French international, while Milan were demanding a fee of at least £20m. While Chelsea could seek to resurrect a deal later in the window, their chances of success would appear slim after Tare confirmed the club had no intention of letting the 29-year-old leave this summer.

'Maignan is not leaving, he will be at Milan again next season,' Tare told reporters on Tuesday. 'There was interest from a Premier League club but in the end no agreement was found.' Tare continued: 'Also knowing that Maignan is an important point of reference not only on the pitch, but also off the pitch, we decided to focus on him for next season and to move forward together. 'Football is unpredictable, but for us he remains a point of reference in this team.' Despite being dropped midway through last season, Robert Sanchez has regained the first-choice spot between the sticks in Maresca's side and has started both of Chelsea's games so far in the Club World Cup. More Trending The Spaniard will once again face competition from Filip Jorgensen next season, while youngster Mike Penders could also feature after his loan at Genk last season. Djordje Petrovic enjoyed a fruitful loan spell last season, impressing for French side Strasbourg in Ligue 1, but the Serbian is now set to leave Chelsea this summer after he was left out of Chelsea's squad for the Club World Cup. Elsewhere, Chelsea are seeking wide attacking reinforcements after they opted to not make Jadon Sancho's loan deal permanent. The Blues failed with two bids for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens prior to the Club World Cup, but remain confident of agreeing a fee for the Englishman.

Milan appoint Tare as new sporting director
AC Milan have appointed Albanian Igli Tare as their new sporting director, the Serie A club announced on Monday, as part of a broader reset following a disappointing season.

"We are pleased to welcome Tare to the Rossoneri family. He is the right person to kick-off our reset," Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani said in a statement. Tare spent 15 years as sporting director at Lazio, overseeing a period that included three Coppa Italia and three Italian Super Cup titles.
