Radio Coffee & Beer opened in 2014 in a renovated 1940s house on Menchaca Road, founded by musician Jack Wilson and his father, Greg Wilson. After years in Seattle’s specialty coffee scene, Jack returned to Austin to create a laid-back neighborhood spot with Greg—serving house-roasted coffee under RCB Roasters, local craft beer, food trucks, and live music.
In 2023, Radio expanded with Radio/East on Montopolis Drive, a nearly two-acre live music venue featuring three stages, colorful murals, a full bar, and some of Austin’s favorite food trucks, including Veracruz All Natural, Shortwave Diner, and Tommy Want Wingy.
Early 2025 brought the opening of Radio Rosewood on East 11th Street—a lounge-style café and cocktail bar that introduced the first brick-and-mortar Shortwave Diner kitchen. From tacos and smash burgers to breakfast bowls and vegan options, Rosewood extends Radio’s signature cozy vibe from morning coffee through late-night drinks.
More than coffee, beer, or music, Radio creates inclusive, creative spaces where people gather to share great food, drinks, live performances, and community—all rooted in the spirit of Austin.
