Ranch 616 is an iconic Austin ice house offering a vibrant dining experience deeply rooted in bold Southern, Gulf Coast, and Tex-Mex flavors crafted by renowned Texas chef Kevin Williamson. The restaurant is famed for originating the signature Ranch Water cocktail, blending reposado tequila, orange liqueur, lime, and Topo Chico, which has become a Texan classic. Its distinctive neon 'Big Daddy' snake sign by artist Bob 'Daddy-O' Wade embodies its lively Texas spirit and adds a retro charm to the venue.
