Austin

7 bars in the catalog. This is not every room in town. It is a start.

West Austin · Austin, TX

A cash-friendly neighborhood tavern by the springs, dark at noon and proud of it.

Drag · Austin, TX

The Drag's longest-running music dive, still launching bands from a room the size of a garage.

Clarksville · Austin, TX

A converted train depot where the piano player still runs the room.

East Sixth · Austin, TX

Burgers, punk on the juke, and a patio that ignores whatever Sixth Street became.

Hyde Park · Austin, TX

Year-round Christmas kitsch and cheap well drinks in a Hyde Park living room.

East Austin · Austin, TX

East Side honky-tonk with iced Lone Star, a packed dance floor, and no cocktail list.

North Loop · Austin, TX

Chicken shit bingo and a room small enough that the band is in your lap.
