February 07, 2012Depending on the night of the week, the Scoot Inn handily pulls off mixing bootleg mash-up parties with intimate bluegrass shows, all inside a (proclaimed) centuries-old beer hall with an outdoor shot-bar and a friendly, roving black cat. Phew!

February 21, 2012Yes, The Hole in the Wall has its grungy, dirty, rock-loving persona. But make no mistake: its stages are primed for local rockabilly, roots and classic country acts throughout the week.

February 21, 2012Ginny’s is the Church of Country, and it even has the steeple to prove it. This Little Longhorn will make you want to boot scoot, but the space is tiny, so you may have to step out back for a proper two-step.

July 24, 2012It’s not as old as you might think, but Mean Eyed Cat, like the Man In Black himself, is already legendary. A gorgeous eyesore in between office buildings and high rises, this bar is what Austin is all about.

February 07, 2012Barfly’s is home to pool tables, foosball, arcade games and super loud punk rock playing on the jukebox. A note for the novice: if heading to the patio, take an extra drink, those stairs get treacherous as the night progresses.

February 21, 2012Rio Rita Cafe is the perfect coffeehouse and bar to gather with friends, sip on espressos or cocktails, and hang out. It’s a great place to hold a Renegade Crafters meeting or a Magic the Gathering club.

February 09, 2012The original downtown dive bar has a contagious love of music classics and hosts the city’s most beloved karaoke. It’s almost pitch-black in here, it always smells musty, and the bathrooms are deplorable. But you’re here to sing and enjoy the work of the true amateur professionals.

February 07, 2012Carousel Lounge is at the helm of Austin’s themed dive bar collective. Circus-themed murals frame the bar and a very large pink elephant takes center stage. Go for the novelty, stay for the low-key company and local acts.

February 28, 2012ure, most bars could serve well enough as a makeout point, but Mugshots offers you and your partner the best opportunities to get some much needed privacy compared to other downtown bars. It lacks the overwhelming crowds of Sixth Street bars and is nice and dark in many of its corners.

February 07, 2012A south Austin icon for cash-only beer, neon signs and pool, The HSL is pure song-writer material. Just ask Slaid Cleaves, or listen to his song about a night down at the lounge. Beer is cheap, music is solid and a tightknit group of regulars abound.
