A legendary dive bar on the Drag that has been Austin's scrappy live-music institution since 1974, hosting everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughan to unknown locals on their way up. Grab a cheap beer, catch an early set, and soak in the graffiti-covered walls and no-frills atmosphere. It gets genuinely packed on weekends, so arrive early for a good spot near the stage. This is the kind of bar that defines Austin's 'keep it weird' ethos.
