81 beers on tap. If you're from out of town - try something local. Ask for a St. Arnolds - I personally prefer their Lawnmower variety.
One of the best dive bars in Austin. Friendly waitstaff, GREAT live music, and there's dancing every Friday.
Nicest outside drinking venue around. If there's long lines on one side, you have 3 other bars to choose from in the venue!
Definitely try to grab drinks & a better view on the roof bar. Fun fact: Michael Cera pwnd that Big Buck Game Hunter in the upstairs lounge.
The Deviled Eggs and the Brisket Sandwich, you can't go wrong. They're phenomenal!
Cool idea: new bar made from repurposing an old house in an worn industrial area. It spurred 3 other lounges around it. Check out the many benefit events hosted here too.
Frank is the only espresso bar in Austin serving Intelligentsia and the only Intelligentsia retail shop in Texas.
Into tech celebrity spotting? You'll be sure to "run into" a few web celebrities here. Just don't make it look like you're stalking them, which you are. - Royal Frasier
Awesome board game selection (some rare/German ones not available in your standard tabletop gaming store). Also check out the attached candy store!
Great for a relaxing evening with friends. Lady bartenders are also super friendly (towards fellow ladies) - make sure to flash 'em a smile!
Jalapeño Poppers are phenomenal (and addicting). You can't go wrong with and roll specials here.
Elysium is bound to be crowded during SXSW with its two bars and great dance floor. Find out what's going on here at do512.com!
Macaroni and Cheese is divine! Also all of the pressed sandwiches are delicious.
Stats: >20 taps, serving $2 Pearl Light to Belgian man's Chimay, a menu of specialty sake bombs, pre-video games like skeeball and shuffleboard, & stand-ups like Donkey Kong & Mortal Combat. Nuff Said Leer más.
Try the crepes - totally worth it. Also the decorating is deceptively fancy, it's actually a decently priced meal.
Their sides are almost universally excellent. If I were to ever "leave" my wife, she knows she can find me in a giant vat of their Scalloped Potatoes.
This is really the bar to go to when it's after 10pm on 6th street and you really just don't want to buy that pizza.
