Editorial Review for Bar Austin – by Stuart Wade
In Short
With a handsome, exposed-brick and hardwood-floors interior Bar Austin is essentially two long rooms divided down the middle, with full bars on either side. On the western half, the crowd bellies up for bottled beers and an extensive cocktail list, while the eastern bar features live music. The cozy back room offers sanctuary and comfortable seating in which to kick back. Fans come for bar-band faves Vallejo and DJs spinning techno and house music.

I love dancing up on the platfoms they have. The DJ saw us dancing and gave us free drink coupons, very cool of him. The bartenders are hot and friendly. They have a cool lounge area in the back where you can actually get comfortable and talk. Definitely stop here if you're down on 6th St.!
Pros: Hot Bartenders, Cool DJ, Something to dance on
