Tasty Tidbits

  • The moon tower on the front of our building is a tribute to Austin, the only city in the world known to still use the 110-year-old system.
  • We’re the only Central Market with A22, a cozy wine bar for tasting and learning about wine. A22 was recognized as the Austin Chronicle’s 2008 Critics Pick for the “best place to take a break from shopping.”
 


Football Fiesta!

A22 Wine Bar
We're proud to be the only Central Market to have a wine bar in the middle of the store. Think of it as an oasis in the middle of a sea of tasty food, you can stop by and grab a glass to sip while you shop, or you can sit and enjoy a flight of wine or cheese. Our A22 Partners are highly knowlegeable, and would love to talk wine shop with you, or help you develop your tasting palate. Its a great place to taste and learn about wine! See our Event Listing for our class offerings and for any special events. The road to wine leads you to A22!
