An Austin institution located near the lake, Deep Eddy is a cash only/beer only bar that is the perfect hole in the wall to waste away a night...or a day for that matter. The cast of characters is about as Austin as it comes. Prepare yourself for Tutor Ted to tell you about his acid trips in the seventies and a sorority girl to bend your ear on how hard her bio-chem class is this year. The perfect dive bar with all the character that Austin can muster. Open Mon 12am-2am, 12pm-2am; Tue-Sat 12pm-2am; Sun 12pm-12am

Cheap drinks and great people make this the perfect spot to hide out from the noise of 6th Street. Just give the staff a holler, and prepare for a tossed bottled or canned beer from behind the horseshoe shaped bar - no draft pulls here! Open Mon 12am-2am, 12pm-2am; Tue-Sat 12pm-2am; Sun 12pm-12am

Just off campus, Showdown is filled with drunks of all shapes n' sizes. With the Drag just around the corner you are guaranteed to see more than a few of the eccentrics that make Austin the unique place that we know and love. Keep Austin Weird!

With a signature drink called the Purple People Eater, it is easy to forget the dingy interior and dubious characters mixed among the general populace. Relax, play pool and darts, and if you are drinking purple’s, try you best to remember your own name. A true rugby player hangout. Cash only baby. Open Mon-Sat 5:30pm-2am

The only known bar that has Chicken Shit Bingo...we shit you not. Always a good crowd, one of the only places in town where you might find an old Texas musician wander in, pick up a guitar and join the band. An Austin melting pot, look for Johnny Cash wanna-be's, bikers, hipsters and rednecks all peacefully coexisting to tunes kicked out by various local music legends. Open Tue-Sat 10am-2am
(512) 448-2552
Another of the South Lamar classics, Saxon Pub is known to have a good local band on any day of the week. Grab a drink, find a spot to stand, and enjoy one of the better live, loud music spots in Austin. Open Mon 12am-2am, 11am-2am; Tue-Sat 11am-2am; Sun 12pm-12am
