Sternewirth at Hotel Emma is proud to host our friends from Nickel City — the acclaimed Austin-bred bar ranked #70 on World’s 50 Best North American Bars — for an exclusive one-night takeover! Led by owner Travis Tober, Nickel City has become a defining voice in modern cocktail culture, with locations now open in Dallas and Houston.

In town for rodeo season, the Nickel City team has crafted a special menu for the occasion, featuring bold, Texas-sized flavors and classic inspirations, in partnership with Beam Suntory. Join us to experience what Nickel City does best: unpretentious cocktails and party-starting boilermakers, served with the friendly neighborhood bar energy that’s become their signature.
