Editorial Review for Emo's – by Citysearch Editors

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.

Pros: good music scene

Cons: It gets excrutaitingly hot outdoors

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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!!!!

Pros: killer bands, killer scene, great beer

Cons: parking, parking, parking
