Man, I forgot how amazing this place is!!! Went Friday for a happy hour. No cover, saw two great bands. Bartender (Yvette?) was the sweetest, most welcoming person I've come across in years!!! She was so kind and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Beers were ice cold, all the patrons were very friendly and zero pretension to be had! No muddled drinks with exotic herbs and salts, no mustachioed sleeved bartender doing key bumps in the walk in, no bridal parties shrieking Journey and guzzling White Claw. Used to come here all the time when I lived in the hood 25 years ago. Been way too long. I can't recommend this place enough.
This is quite possibly the greatest bar in Austin for music, people, and ambiance. Fantastic food, service, and general weirdness.
2$ happy hour, cool, weird circus themed place, live music! Sign me up, Bar tender was friendly and even drew me a cool little portrait! Officially on my favorites list!
It's a set up bar but it's an Austin classic. If you're looking for weird and authentic, look no further.
One of my top two or three bars in all of Austin. 'Nuff said. A little slice of the old Austin I once knew.
Attentive service, $2 happy hour, live music that isn't too loud, and a fun setting, definitely coming back
Bring your own liquor?! Awwwwyea. They'll sell you a setup to accompany any bottle you bring in if you so choose. This place is funky in all the right ways. Come here on the right night and you just might be serenaded by band of masked surf rockers. Cheap beer, quirky staff, timeless decor. Hope this place sticks around another 50 years.
