“ A hidden gem about to be 8 years in existence. All kinds of people in there so any newbies visiting do not screw up this vibe. Has a record store inside the bar definitely hard not to walk out without a record. The bartenders were awesome!!! ”
“ My new favorite dive bar. Drink and food specials Monday thru Wednesday and a very well stocked record bar on the inside. I highly recommend ordering their "off menu" wings as well. Cheers ! ... ”
“ Fun, cool, welcoming bar with a big drink menu and kitchen open late. The rock theme extends from the decoration to the little record shop. They have bar seating, booths, tables, a shaded patio, and even an asshole section. Loved the loaded french fries and a native Texan lager. There is free parking on adjacent streets. It's within easy walking distance of so many other places on Cesar Chavez and a great addition to a night in East Austin. ”
“ Love this lounge. Friendly staff who will remember you and probably even your regular order. Best tended bar I've been to on Cesar Chavez with a great food selection and always good music playing. Love that they have a photo booth and pool tables and sometimes even a witches market...always enjoy myself whether it be with a group of friends or just having a beer by myself. ”
“ This place was awesome! Our bartenders made some great cocktails and the service was fantastic. ”
