Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew, named after the historic 1800s I. & G. N. railroad stop Stiles Switch, Texas, is also namesake of the owner Shane Stiles. Shane’s inspiration for Stiles Switch BBQ is derived from his admiration of the Texas BBQ Legends he was raised on growing up in Central Texas. Stiles Switch plays tribute to these Texas “greats” by assembling a passionate team with decades of industry experience. Stiles is focused on setting the bar high with his “no corners cut” methods of preparation and selection of quality product.
Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew, set in the historic art deco 1950s Violet Crown Shopping Center on N. Lamar, is designed to host a nostalgic atmosphere that transcends back to the old Austin neighborhood style eatery which combines exceptional Texas BBQ , great atmosphere, and cold Texas craft brews. FUN FACT: The Violet Crown Shopping Center, one of the “oldest” shopping centers in central Austin, was also the film production hub for the late 1990s film “Dazed and Confused” starring Matthew McConaughey. The Stiles Switch BBQ lease space is the famed “Emporium” pool hall filmed in the movie. The Stiles Switch BBQ crew is excited about breathing new life into a historic part of central Austin and revitalizing the community that surrounds them.

Nature and Outdoor
Endless gorgeous hiking and biking trails, as well as a 1-2 mile paved path with bridges over Walnut Creek that extends from an entrance on Metric Blvd. to N. Lamar Rd. The creek fills up after a good rain and there is an off-leash dog area. Picnic tables and grills, bike repair stations, and a snow cone truck in the summers!
