Soho House x Porsche presents Highway to House: Episode three

We’re back with the third leg of our American road trip. Designated driver, Pro BMX rider Jarren Barboza, continues the journey from Austin in a Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. Driving from House to House, he used the Connect function on the Soho House app to get in touch with local members who gave him recommendations for places to eat, relax, skate, and more – all to celebrate 20 years of our North American Houses. 

In this episode, he drove from Soho House Austin to Soho House Nashville. Here are our suggested stops for your own trip. 

Soho House Austin 
1011 S Congress Avenue, Building 2, Suite 100, Austin

Located near Lady Bird Lake, the cosy bedrooms and outside pool at Soho House Austin make it a great starting point before a long journey. After a good night’s sleep, enjoy a relaxing soak in a free-standing bath and go for a dip in the pool, before a coffee and breakfast on the wraparound terrace. Then, take a walk by the lake and you’re all set for the next part of the drive.

Iron Works Barbecue 
100 Red River, Austin

For a true taste of Austin, you’ll want to grab a bite at Iron Works for some authentic smoked goodness with meat served by the pound. Try beef ribs, pulled pork or smoked turkey with sides of cream corn, pinto beans, and mac and cheese. And if you thought it couldn’t get more southern than that, finish with a pie or cobbler and a beer to wash it down, in true Texan style.

Whether you have a bike, skateboard or rollerblades, this place has all the ramps, dips and pipes for anything with wheels. Even if you’re not taking part yourself, it’s worth going to watch people doing tricks. 

Highland Collective

Art nights on Tuesdays

A group of artists and makers came together to work out of a facility in central Austin, and they now host a range of exhibitions and display their art at the Highland Collective.
