EUREKA AUSTIN

Eureka! Burger Austin is a vibrant restaurant that blends casual sophistication with elevated comfort food and a curated selection of craft beer and whiskey. Designed in collaboration with AB design studio, the space reflects the brand’s signature modern industrial aesthetic while embracing the creative energy of its East 6th Street location. The interior features reclaimed wood, exposed architectural elements, and bold lighting fixtures that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A central bar anchors the space, encouraging social connection and serving as a focal point for both design and experience. Every detail—from the layout to the finishes—was thoughtfully crafted to support both operational flow and community engagement, making Eureka! Austin a standout destination for locals and visitors alike.

Each Eureka! location is designed to reflect its local character while maintaining the brand’s signature aesthetic. The interiors feature reclaimed wood, exposed architectural elements, and eye-catching lighting fixtures. Unique touches like accented ceilings, Escher-inspired wallpaper, and custom bars serve as focal points, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages guests to gather and connect.

AB design studio emphasized community engagement in each design. Restaurants are positioned to interact with the surrounding streetscape, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The layout supports both social interaction and operational efficiency, with a carefully planned kitchen and back-of-house that ensures smooth service.

Designers collaborated with graphic artists to align branding elements—such as menus, signage, and wall art—with the architectural vision. This holistic approach ensures that every detail contributes to a cohesive and memorable guest experience.

As Eureka! expands, AB design studio continues to tailor each new location to its neighborhood, preserving the brand’s identity while celebrating local culture. The result is a series of spaces that feel both familiar and fresh—each one a unique expression of Eureka!’s commitment to quality, creativity, and community.

Whether you're enjoying a signature burger, sipping a small-batch whiskey, or attending a live music night, Eureka! offers more than a meal—it’s a thoughtfully designed experience.
