Malverde at La Condesa
Written By: Molly McManus, Simplifiers Apprentice
We fell in love with the modern, inviting and enlivening event space at La Condesa. Adjacent to the restaurant, Malverde is like the cooler twin sister of La Condesa. Its contemporary design incorporates natural elements, like the warm wood found throughout, expansive windows, recycled materials and plant life everywhere, including a “living wall” of floor-to-ceiling greenery.
Austin’s skyline provides an amazing backdrop for your event, whether you’re outside on their balcony or inside the lounge with its massive, wall-to-wall windows. There are garage-like doors that connect the balcony to the lounge and can open to expand Malverde, providing the feel of an open-air bar.
Malverde offers full-service catering provided by La Condesa, either as a customized seated family-style dinner, passed appetizers, or buffet.
For family-style seated setup, Malverde can accommodate up to 50 guests for brunch, lunch or dinner. Their seated meals reflect La Condesa’s gourmet menu with selections of mouth-watering, aesthetically pleasing food to enjoy with family and friends. The family-style approach makes the meal a fully interactive experience to engage guests, creating a truly memorable experience.
If you opt for a reception style event, Malverde can accommodate up to 125 guests for a fabulous cocktail party with passed appetizers and/or a buffet station. Every station with your selected menu includes an experienced kitchen attendant to serve guests. Typically, one or two food stations will feature light to medium appetizers and a variety of delectable desserts to be passed.
Pricing is based on a food and beverage minimum that varies, dependent on date, time frame, guest count, menu, and bar. The starting food and beverage minimum requirement to reserve Malverde for up to three hours ranges from $2,000 – $5,000 plus tax and service charge.
Adjacent to Austin’s City Hall, the W Hotel, ACL Live at the Moody Theater and minutes from Sixth Street and the Convention Center, Malverde is the perfect location for your next office party, wedding reception, or corporate event. Trust us, your guests will be blown away by Malverde’s magnificence.

The Flour House: La Condesa’s historic private underground vault, offering an intimate and unique dining experience for up to 20 guests seated.

All buy-outs are customized and include the space, food, beverage, and staff.
