Come for the cheap drinks, but stay for the community
Austin takes great pride in its dive bar culture, and even though pricey cocktail lounges and artisanal breweries are more popular than ever, there’s still a place for hole-in-the-wall saloons with cheap drinks, unflashy decor, and neighborhood regulars who embrace these spots as pillars of their communities. Only a few of these are within walking distance of SXSW’s Downtown environs, but they’re all worth the extra effort.
We love a dive bar with serious longevity and Deep Eddy Cabaret has been keeping Austinites well-quaffed since 1951, so it deserves a spot on this list. West Austin cherishes its local watering hole for its down-to-earth charm, very reasonable shots-and-beers drink menu, a legendary jukebox, and proudly vintage flair.Neon lights, vinyl banquettes, mounted stag’s heads, and Skee-Ball: all the markers of a quality Texas dive bar, and all present and accounted for at the Aristocrat on Burnet Road.
If you want a dive bar where you can two-step, then Sam’s Town Point has you covered. In far South Austin, you’ll find a cheap AF dive that’s a hub for live local music and that heartily encourages its patrons to get out on the floor and start dancing. Karaoke aficionados in Austin will tell you that the No. 1 place for living out your rock-star fantasies is Ego’s on South Congress. But even if you don’t have musical talents, you can enjoy Ego’s for its slightly run-down aesthetic, inexpensive drinks, and pool table.
South First Street is becoming an impressive avenue of prestige restaurants, but G&S Lounge is still why many Austinites choose to head down to that area. Low-cost beer, charmingly surly bartenders, and dim lighting are readily available here. Because this location has been serving cheap booze and DGAF vibes to Austinites for over 40 years, it’s worth a visit for any dive bar aficionado.
