Looking to get rowdy? Drink some cheap beer?  Do512 has your guide to all the awesome Austin Dive Bars, for those of us who want to have a good time without the hassle of bright lights, overpriced drinks, or massive crowds.  Sometimes the right atmosphere makes all the difference, especially if that atmosphere includes a rockin' jukebox, laid-back people, and graffiti in the bathrooms. And you can always count on a hassle-free evening when you use Tabbedout from your phone to pay your tab.  You can skip the line and also redeem in-app offers at supporting locations!

      Rain or shine, G&S Lounge has you covered. The inside is filled with vintage games and free popcorn, and the new(ish) covered patio offers quiet refuge from the pinball patrons. Post up and have a drink. But bring plenty of cash: you shouldn’t expect special treatment here.

      Poodle Dog’s patrons are down-to-earth, and the friendly bartenders and regulars will join you in a beer and likely offer an opinion on the jukebox’s next song.
