Editorial Review for The Back Room – by Whitney Friedlander

In Short
A night at this hardcore lair means goatees, beer bellies and motorcycles. Those wishing to stay away from bar fights sit at the worn wood counter and leave their cell phones at home. Seventeen pool tables crowd the floor, as well as a substantial arcade to blow laundry money and win a stuffed animal. Live music is available most nights, featuring goth, thrashcore, heavy metal and death metal, along with occasional rap appearance.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

there is no more live music. I don't know nor understand why the live music is gone? This "was" the best and only place to see a metal show. I am beyond saddned that the venue is gone. Allthough, if you live neer by, it is the perfect local hole in the wall! A bunch of metal heads, bikeres and gutter punks just hangin out drinking and playing pool. The perfect austin bar!
