Verdant Sandwich Shop and Custom Cocktail Lounge Sneak into Downtown Austin
CultureMap Austin featured Powder Room ahead of its April 2024 opening in Downtown Austin, highlighting the intimate cocktail lounge designed by PETERMAX alongside its sister concept, Manny’s.
Austin CultureMap describes Powder Room as an escapist, dimly lit counterpart to the bright, plant-filled sandwich shop next door. Designer Peter Bowden explains that the concept was intended to offer a sense of sanctuary from the city, with an atmosphere built around surprise, discovery, and an experience that changes from guest to guest.
CultureMap also highlights Powder Room’s retro interior and personalized tableside mixology, where cocktails are prepared in front of guests as part of the lounge experience.
