Austin restaurateurs come to the rescue of Hill's Cafe – Austin American-Statesman

By Austin Post Staff / Feb 19, 2013

Two Austin restaurateurs have pumped some much-needed cash into Hill’s Café, keeping the iconic restaurant and music venue from shutting down. Brothers Austin and Ellis Winstanley, who head up locally based Tradelogic Corp., say they learned about the restaurant’s money woes after reading a story in the American-Statesman. Less than a week later, they’d become majority owners, unveiling plans to add more than 20 new employees and expand Hill’s Café’s hours of operation.

“We’re very excited to be a part of such a special place and glad we had the opportunity,” Ellis Winstanley said.

Get ready for a Pop-Culture-Palooza this weekend! We have a premier party for the return of Doctor Who, a premier party for the return of Game of Thrones, and a chance to pitch in and help build the only 1:1 replica Star Wars Starfighter in America. Along the way, there’s also LARPing, gaming, and plenty of other geeky get togethers.
