Accept your flavorful fate at This Too Shall Pass and spend some time at this swanky restaurant and cocktail lounge. Located in the heart of 4th Street’s famous Warehouse District and beating with the posh pulse that runs through this strip of town. This is one of the area’s newest additions and they’ve brought a unique and sensual experience to 4th street. Celebrate surviving another day in this weird world with a wildly delicious This Too Shall Pass dinner.

Is This in your future??


This familiar name is a Persian adage that was said with the intention that it, no matter what, will always hold true. Whether times are good or bad, easy or tough, no moment is permanent. Use TTSP as a retreat from the rough, or as an oasis for your next occasion. Beautifully balanced between avant-garde and antique, and authentically Austin.

Impermanence and Intrigue


Wander into this 4th Street fantasy and pass some time in a proper manner. TTSP has combined a sultry cocktail lounge with a culinary experience. This lounge will transport you away from the hustle of the city to an intimate and sensual setting. Here you can enjoy supple leather seats, warm low lighting, and romantic red decor. Dreamy house music melodically marinates the air at a decibel that drives privacy without overpowering conversation. As you feast, you’ll be faced by the dramatic masquerade features and surrounded by a racy renaissance aesthetic. Along with these timeless traits, TTSP promotes progressive events and local artists. This makes for a mecca of fun, food, and friendship.

Delightful Delicacies


Behind the velvet kitchen curtains is their talented chef, Mirza Rodas. This team has created a small but mighty menu with some heavy hitters including Crudo, Calamari, and Beef Carpaccio. Every item on this menu carries its weight and will be worth your wallet. TTSP has crafted their own take on the popular Goat Cheese Ball and you’ll want to keep popping these in your mouth all evening. Melt your mind with the bubbling butter flight infused with herb, chili, and curry flavors kept hot over a candle. This simple yet succulent course reminded us of family recipes and had our table reminiscing on fond food memories even after the last butter soaked bite. Search no longer for Shishitos and crunch on their crispy, fried version of these green goodies. Cap off your meal with a delightful delicacy and order the Carpaccio. These melt in your mouth slices of meat are topped with a fresh pile of arugula, parmesan, and a bountiful boost of balsamic caviar. While you eat, sip on something stellar and save room at the end for a whipped sorbet snack.

Superior Sips


You’ll certainly want to splurge on their specialty cocktails. Savor sips inspired by old drinks and new ideas. Take a refreshing flavor flight with the Avion Papel, their take on a paper plane. Court your date with the sweet and sexy Call Me Lover. This pink passion fruit drink literally glows, lit up by love (and the LED that rests at the bottom). Let TTSP make a proper Impression for you, a refreshing feature of Empress Gin and Chartreuse. This Too Shall Pass has one of Austin’s best espresso martinis, made with the force needed to form that ever loved thick froth. 

With every beverage and bite on the menu, your taste buds will be carried off to far away countries. This Too Shall Pass is a place to escape our town and travel the world without leaving your table. 

See y’all there.
