Description


The Pier, once located on Lake Austin, was a local institution and a major piece of Austin's history. The original site opened as a hard-to-find fishing camp in 1928 and in 1958 Jim Walls founded The Pier on Lake Austin. The building by the water now stands vacant but is still filled with many wonderful memories of days gone by.


Throughout The Piers' history, nearing a half-century, many different types of people gravitated to the picnic tables, stage, volleyball courts and washer pits to relax and enjoy the sun while catching up with friends and family or to just catch a show, burger and a cold beer. "It was a place where the governor could go stand right next to a biker and have a good conversation, and neither one of them knew the other, and neither of them cared", according to co-owner Mike Walsh.


In March 2007, Mike Walsh and his wife, Jan Hansen, teamed up with Todd and Anna Hynes and Mike and Diane Wacker to bring back The Pier. The Pier's doors and docks reopened, but this time on Lake Travis. The Point Venture community welcomed them to their restaurant site, a floating restaurant and bar formerly known as Shades. In addition to a floating fuel dock and plenty of boat slips for patrons, The Pier provides a mini-convenience store.


With close to 50 years combined experience in the restaurant and bar industry, it is the goal of the owners and managers of The Pier on lake travis to create a casual welcoming environment much like the former Pier with great food and enjoyable music. They are looking forward to creating lasting friendships with the members of the community and the vacationers that drop in for a relaxing and fun experience known as The Pier.
