Nasty's

Not sure why an employed adult would go here

The name is very appropriate- if you're the type of person that could enjoy hanging out in a truckstop bathroom with a six pack of longnecks, then this is your bar.

I'm no snob- hole in the wall places can be great; I've been in some incredibly seedy bars in 3rd world countries even that I rather enjoyed. Those places however had a gritty character that justified the filth. Nasty's, true to its name just seems to be a dirty little place just because it is too lazy to care about being anything nicer.

If I were unemployed with no car and lived a block away I'm sure I'd love it, but since I meet none of those criteria, I have no desire to return.

• Pros: cheap?
• Cons: everything else

The name says it all: it's nasty and gross in there

I wasn't impressed. The place is a real hole in the wall, 4 legged critters and crickets and all.

I didn't see any drink/beer specials, so I don't see what draws people in. Maybe I was there on a slow night, but the bartender was a scary, rough old guy who could use a shower. The standard pool table, darts and other bar games were there, but it was all old and grungy.

Maybe I'm missing the whole point, but I prefer my beer insect free.

• Pros: It's gross
• Cons: It's gross

Longest running weekly & best hiphop

by texut at Citysearch

Nasty's on Monday is the longest running weekly in Austin. DJ Mel, internationally known, has a way with his records and tune choice. The diverse, active crowd is always happy and full. Although I can't attend very often, the vibe is always fun. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for hiphop lovers, dancers and people who just wanna hang out.

• Pros: Good music, good crowd, great times to be had
• Cons: Best night is on Monday and I can't always make it
