Jared Padalecki and Chuck Liddell

A slew of celebrities attended The Statesman preview event in Austin and Spill the ATX was there! With locals like Jared Padalecki, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Dave and Odette Annable to guests that flew in for the event like Chuck Liddell, it was a star studded evening.

The Statesman is a new supper club and cocktail lounge from proprietor Craig Ley that is now open in downtown Austin. The old school charm and classy style serves to elevate the night life options on West Sixth Street. Inspired by the Heroic Age of our country’s founders and the spirit of Texas’ own impresarios, The Statesman serves sophisticated cocktails and delectable fare.

Now, back to the celebs. Here are all the famous faces we spotted:

  • Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos) and hubby Cutter Dykstra (MLB)
  • Jared Padalecki (Walker) and wife Gen Padalecki (Walker)
  • Odette Annable (Walker) and Dave Annable (Yellowstone/ Brothers & Sisters)
  • Stacy Keibler (WWE)
  • Lydia Jacoby (Olympian)
  • Tony Gonzalez (NFL) and wife October (Tobie) Gonzalez
  • Chuck Liddell (UFC)
  • Becca Tobin (Glee)

Beyond the celebrity sightings, our favorite thing about The Statesman is the “Press for Champagne” button located on the wall of the booths and the Audrey Hepburn themed bathroom.

You can visit The Statesman at 710 West 6th Street in Austin. Fingers crossed for your very own Jared Padalecki sighting!
