Continental Club
1315 S Congress Ave Austin, TX 78704
(512) 441-0202
Commonly referred to as the ‘…granddaddy of all local music venues in Austin’, this iconic music venue has been kickin it since 1957. All of the greats have played here including Willie Nelson and Tuesday’s Toni Price. You’re always assured a good time with local Austinites. The lingering perfume of ganja may hit you smack in the face. If you’re really feeling adventurous, go two doors down to The Club’s other bar. Venture up the creepy stairs to a small sea of people, a jamming surf rock band, and a mean game of ping pong. Don’t tell anyone about it or we may have to kill you. Open Mon 12am-2am, 4pm-2am; Tue-Fri 4pm-2am; Sat 2pm-2am; Sun 8pm-12am
Antone's
213 W 5th St Austin, TX 78701
(512) 320-8424
Clifford Antone: Austinite Legend, Man Around Town, Professor and general BADASS. RIP. This fabulous Austin haunt showcases bands from around the country from mainstream bands like Cowboy Mouth to Austin’s own Bob Schneider. There’s usually something to see nightly so check out the daily happenings on the our main page for Austin. Stop by Lucky Lounge or Red Fez on your way out for a nightcap and a late night hookup. Open Mon 12am-2am, 8:30pm-2am; Tue-Sat 8:30pm-2am; Sun 8:30pm-12am
Stubbs
801 Red River St Austin, TX 78701
(512) 482-0035
After grubbin on some of Austin’s famous BBQ, catch a show at this local favorite. While the inside stage is cool for smaller gigs, the outside stage certainly has a presence. Multiple bars make it easy to grab cold Tecates and jam out to your favorite band. Beware of the tall asshole that thinks it’s cool to make his way through the crowd and stand in front of you. If you rally the people around you, it’s not too hard to kick his ass out. Open Tue-Thu 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 11am-9pm
Saxon Pub
1320 S Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78704
(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 Open Mon 12am-2am, 11am-2am; Tue-Sat 11am-2am; Sun 12pm-12am
Emo's
603 Red River St Austin, TX 78701
(512) 477-3667
Head on down to 6th Street for some loud music, sexy coeds, sweat, and of course, drunken debauchery. This indoor/outdoor venue is a great place to grind your junk, drink copious amounts of booze, and just flat out get shitty. After losing your dignity and abandoning all morals, head down the street to Treasure Island for some scary cheap drinks and a police presence that will baffle you. Be sure to get your picture with one… just for kicks.
Momos
618 W 6th St # 200 Austin, TX 78701
(512) 479-8848
If you’re in the mood for niche Texas music, check out this great venue with a deck overlooking downtown Austin. Austin favorite James McMurtry plays occasionally and if you have chance, check out The Austin Jug Band. Sister venue to the Saxon Pub, you’re guaranteed a good time with tasty beverages. Open Mon 12am-2am, 7:30pm-2am; Tue-Sat 7:30pm-2am; Sun 7:30pm-12am
