Starting November 1, 2011, La Sombra Bar & Grill, with its Central and South American flair and cuisine, will stay open until midnight on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights to meet the late night demand in the area. To kick off the new extended hours, “Late Night” deals will also be available for patrons those nights from 10 p.m. – midnight, with Latin-inspired appetizers and drink specials. La Sombra, located at 4800 Burnet Road, Suite 200, will offer patrons from the Rosedale and surrounding neighborhoods new late night options as they continue to seek more diversity for entertainment in the area.
“We are excited about all the late night activity that establishments here in the Lo-Burn IBIZ District are experiencing. The shaded patio, comfortable lounge area, Latin beats, and full bar make La Sombra a fun neighborhood destination,” commented managing partner, Cameron Lockley.
La Sombra Bar & Grill will still be available for private rental on Mondays, and now available for private lunch parties during the week. After catering several successful events in the Austin community, the owners plan to expand those operations. Executive Director Matt Hinsley of the Austin Classical Guitar Society had this to say about a recent dinner that La Sombra Bar & Grill catered for two hundred of the Society’s patrons, “It’s been such a pleasure in every way. I look forward to next time!” In order to focus on the new Late Night program and catering operations, the restaurant will discontinue its lunch service during the week.
Revised hours and offerings include:
Happy Hour Tuesday – Sunday from 4pm to 7pm with ½ priced appetizers, $2 off classic and signature cocktails, $2 off wines by the glass, and $1 off beers
Live Music Thursdays from 8pm with local Latin artists like house favorite, Cienfuegos

And, more late night menu options are in the works.
