TC's Lounge

T.C.'s, at 12th and Webberville in East Austin, is housed in a building that might have seen better days ("TC Parking Only" is scratched into the exterior paint). But inside the bar remains vibrant, from the the DJ spinning Fridays and Saturdays to bands such as the Leghounds and Moving Blues playing Sundays through Thursdays. T.C.'s -- owned by T.C. Perkins since 1979 -- is exactly the right size. Through the front door is the bar, a wall-mounted TV and a table (eight to 10 could sit comfortablymore

The bar counter plays host to hot food, like the Manwich, on Monday and Tuesday nights. Around the corner from the bar lies another bunch of tables (eight to 12 folks could squeeze in) and a railing that separates this section from the area two or three steps lower is covered in lights. The lower section, of course, is home to the stage, just as the upper is where the DJ plays.
