TCP History

Welcome to the one, the only, the original Texas Chili Parlor. An Austin institution since 1976, TCP is many things to many people.

To Texas legislators, TCP is a favorite lunch spot, just up the street from the state capitol.

To University of Texas students and fans, TCP is a great sports bar, with plenty of enthusiasm for all the UT teams.
Don't you feel more like you do now than when you came?

To a core group of devoted regulars, TCP is that place "where everybody knows your name."
