In Short
The bar's dimly lit interior is roomy and comfortable, and covered with musty college pennants, wood paneling and wagon-wheel chandeliers. It's also forever brightened by holiday lights and a decorated tree complete with present. Regulars and students frequent this establishment, which offers a full-service bar with a pool table, foosball and TV set, as well as a separate seating area. Guests can order cheap but tasty food (burgers, chili dogs, etc.) off the mini-menu.

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! Seriously didn?t Austin pass a no-smoking law a few years back? There is basically no ventilation & the regulars are about as smart as a sack of nails. Lala?s could be one of the best dive bars in Austin but the amount of smoke and smokers completely ruins the hole in the wall charm of this local watering-hole.

Very small & dim place but it fits for what it is. They have a bar, pool table, jukebox & a few tables to eat at. The only food offered are small appetizers but the drinks are great! The margaritas are the best & I would definitely recommend them! The service is wonderful & they stay open later than any other bars around so it's a nice place to go to after going out so you can have a few snacks afterwards & don't have to go home at regular closing time!

I've been coming to LaLa's for over 10 years... and from what I understand, the place hasn't changed much since it opened 30+ years ago. To this day, it is still an old stand by that I always enjoy when I want to go out. It is smokey... grab a used beer can for an ashtray. Expect to talk to complete strangers when you go because it's often crowded with people begging for the use of someone else's table or chairs and it's not unheard of for someone to just join your group out of the blue. The Christmas decor is great but LaLa's at Christmas time is the very best... cold outside, X-mas music from the 40's on the juke... on the 23rd of December they throw a bar wide Christmas Party and give out prizes that LaLa's been shopping for all year round. Don't go expecting 5 star service or a hoity toity bar. What you'll find is low key, friendly folk who just want you to grab a drink, sit back and enjoy your night there. Our inside joke about LaLa's comes from a night when we were sitting back enjoying the fact that you never have blonde bimbos in hot pink glitter tops trying to get attention at LaLa's... just then a group of men came in, one wearing a hot pink glitter dress... That's LaLa's.

Know Before You Go:
Bring change: Pool and foosball tables take only quarters. There's no change machine and the bar gets impatient making change.
Save Money:
Every night from 4pm to 7pm, selected well drinks can be had for $3.
The Extras:
Lala's was grandfathered out of the "no smoking" ordinance in Austin, so expect a thick cloud of smoke throughout.
