Moving To Austin

In 1985 a series of circumstances forced Stubb to close his beloved restaurant. "Let’s put it this way," said Stubb, "I got run out of Lubbock ’cause I was broke, busted and disgusted. I can’t fight the IRS with barbeque and sauce." With his restaurant closed, Stubb decided to move to Austin and began selling his barbeque out of Antone’s, a blues club near the University of Texas, and in 1986 opened his second restaurant, Stubb’s Bar-B-Q. There he revived the Lubbock tradition of jam sessions that featured such musicians as Joe Ely, Butch Hancock and The Maines Brothers.

Stubb’s Bar-B-Q is still alive and well in Austin, Texas, featuring barbeque, cold beer and live music. You can learn more about the restaurant, see the menu and more, by visiting stubbsaustin.com
