Beer, wine, and Eastern Mediterranean food on a covered terrace in East Austin. No reason to dress up.
Food & wine
The kitchen is Chef Gilbert St. Peter's Sefra: Eastern Mediterranean food built on the flavors of the Levant and his Sephardic roots. Silky hummus, stuffed pitas, bright salads, pickles, and plates made for sharing.
Beer and wine only, no spirits. The list leans approachable and is priced so a second bottle is an easy decision. Order at the counter and sit anywhere.
The people
General Manager
Kayleigh grew up in restaurants. Her mother was a waitress, and some of her earliest memories are of days spent at work alongside her. She took her first industry job at 16 and moved to Austin in 2018.
She has worked in an upscale diner, a great seafood restaurant and a full French style wine bar, and has helped open three concepts. She brings wine knowledge, a head for operations, and real care for the people on both sides of the table.
Chef · Sefra at Glou Glou
Gilbert came up through Indian restaurants, brewery food trucks and fine dining, then spent four years with Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group, rising to Chef de Cuisine at TLV and helping open Ezov as Executive Sous Chef.
After cofounding the Knuckle Sandwich food truck, he went back to the food he grew up eating. Sefra Mediterranean is the result: the core ingredients and flavors of the Levant, with a distinct influence from his Sephardic roots.
Wine Director
Patrick came to Austin to join MML Hospitality as assistant wine director and worked his way to the top job. By the time he left, he was running the wine programs for 30 restaurants across three states. He went on to found Sidecar Beverage Consulting, helping independent restaurants build drink programs worth talking about.
Few people care about what is in the glass as much as Patrick does. At Glou Glou he leads the wine list, and the training and education the whole team is built on.
