Weenies and Tinis Pride Edition

Weenies and Tinis Pride Edition returns to Halcyon on Wednesday, August 19, from 4 PM to 10 PM. It's back by popular demand, timed to kick off Austin Pride Month with a dog and a drink on Fourth.

The premise is as simple as the name: you get a dog and a martini, and you find out who put on the weenie costume this time. The whole thing is billed as a way to start the city's Pride Month celebrations, and it's happening right in the middle of downtown, so it's an easy one to drop into on a Wednesday afternoon.

If you've been around for previous editions, you know the drill. The party is built around that same mix of dogs and drinks, and this time it's tied into the start of Austin Pride. It's a long window to work with, too—six hours from 4 PM to 10 PM—so you can swing by for a quick drink after work or settle in for the whole evening. Halcyon is at 218 W. Fourth in downtown Austin, right in the heart of things, which makes it a convenient spot if you're already in the area for Pride events.

So, if you're looking for a low-stakes way to get into the Pride spirit, this is it: a dog, a martini, and a weenie costume. It runs from 4 PM to 10 PM at Halcyon, 218 W. Fourth, on Wednesday, August 19.
