Jenna Bush Hager proved she’s fully able to laugh at her past after sharing a photo with an Austin restaurant that poked fun at one of her most infamous college moments.<\/p>\n
“Happy Holidays from me and @elarroyo_atx !!!” Bush Hager captioned a photo dump on National Tequila Day as she posed in front of the iconic Austin restaurant’s famous marquee.<\/p>\n
Known for changing its sign daily with witty one-liners, El Arroyo didn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate the occasion.<\/p>\n
“It’s National Tequila Day \u2014 Party like you’re the president’s daughter,” the sign read on Friday<\/a>, July 24.<\/p>\n The joke<\/a>, of course, is a reference to the former First Daughter’s widely publicized underage drinking citation while attending the University of Texas in the early 2000s. Bush Hager, now 44, since spoken candidly about the incident\u2014and even recently poked fun at it herself.<\/p>\n “I didn’t actually go to jail, I just was arrested,” she explained on Today in 2023, per Hello!<\/a>. “I wasn’t even arrested, I was never detained. I just got a minor in possession of alcohol when I was 20 years old because I ordered a margarita<\/a> at Chuy’s with a fake ID.”<\/p>\n The story has returned to headlines in recent weeks after the Jenna & Sheinelle star used her underage mishap for the viral “Netflix<\/a> Documentary” TikTok<\/a> trend before later admitting she’d mixed up the restaurant where it happened and issuing a tongue-in-cheek apology to El Arroyo on Today.<\/p>\n “Preparing for my Netflix documentary about that one time at El Arroyo when I was 19…iykyk,” she wrote over the clip.<\/p>\n She was later forced to apologize and “set the record straight<\/a>” after misremembering the location of her underage crime.<\/p>\n “I need to set the record straight. on something that was posted on social media yesterday. So on this video right here, I incorrectly stated, with the help of the social media team, that I had a drink at El Arroyo,” she said on air earlier this month. “Now I have had some drinks at El Arroyo, but the drink we will be talking about in the documentary was actually at Chuy’s. So I just want to say, I am sorry El Arroyo, you always served me. I’m just kidding!”<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Jul 24, 2026, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
