In Short
Located in the heart of Sixth Street, Emo's offers a generous helping of bands on two stages. Nestled between the two sides of the club is a cozy, under-the-stars backyard with tables and chairs for the Courtney Love-esque girls and chain-wallet, baggy-pants guys who are taking a break from crowd-surfing and moshing. Affordable, ice-cold long neck beers perfectly complement the white-hot local and touring punk, alternative, grunge and thrash-core bands for which Emo's is famous.

Emo's is one of my favorite austin venues. I enjoy their list of lineups, even though they refuse to book some rock bands, but this is what makes Emo's original with their music choice. This place is a great enviroment to be in, and the live music is what really attracts me.

now if you wanna hear and see some great punk rock bands emo's has got it going on...one of the best places to see punk bands...i love the street feel to it...good beer selection, interesting mix of people go there. doesn't bother me that it's all ages cuz that's what's cool about it...it can get real crowded and there's not many places to sit, other than the floor which can be a drag when you're hammered and need to sit for a spell but i love it!!!! it's a true 6th street joint!!!!

Emo's never really changes. Okay, they started selling Newcastles in the smaller bottles, but that's about it. There's not much to it. Two stages...one small one inside, one large one outside. There's an open lounge-type area in the back. (Not swanky lounge, more like some picnic tables and lost of cigarette butts, but charming in its own right.) The bathrooms are small and scary. But you come for the music. And they deliver. The acoustics are surprisingly good for such a little place (inside). Outside has to be the worst layout of any bar in Austin. There are bleachers but they are over to the side where you can't see the band. To get to the area in front of the stage, you basically have to permeate the crowd (almost impossible to slip in from the side). Once you're in, it's hard to slide back out to refresh a drink. The music is incredible. They get some really great traveling bands as well as the locals. It's always fun. Sometimes the crowds run a little younger (but that only makes the bar lines shorter). It's laid back and comfortable. And it's a piece of Austin. Everyone should go at least once. PROS: Great music, just a fun place CONS: Typical bar complaints - plus the worst outdoor stage in Austin!
