The random rabble-rousing at this Sixth Street drinking hole suits the mythical mammal it's named for.

Must look like a greaser to get any service. Of the three times I had been to the jackalope, the majority bartenders have been very rude and unattentive. A bartender friend of mine whome works there warned me that in order to get good service, you must look like a greaser/rockabilly girl. She wasnt kidding.

The last time I went there, I asked for a fat tire. the bartended informed me that they did not carry fat tire and then asked what else i would like. While I was deciding she yelled at me for not having though of a second choice already and then stormed off. I stood there for about ten minutes waiting for her to come back (the bar was empty) but she never did. Every female bartender I have encountered there has been very rude.

favorite bar. Some of my favorite bar food is served here! (in the back, not the pizza.. never the pizza). The burgers and waffles fries are awesome, the fried pickles are noteworthy and quesadillas rock. The crowd is always locals, service, music and tattoo industry. Music is (usually) good. Always have great movie flicks goin on in the background.

sometimes the bartenders just dont care enough to serve you immediately.. but i'm low maintenance and patient so dont really worry about it. Since its a popular bar their specials dont usually go on the entire night like a lot of the other crap bars on 6th but thats okay.

This bar rocks!. I am new to this City Search thing, but me and the band passed through Austin on tour and I wanted to let other musicians and travelers who may not be familiar with Austin where to go eat and drink. The locals already flock to this place, but we were lucky enough to stumble (literally) upon it. The rest of 6th Street pretty much sacks, but this place is worth passing through to get to. In a nutshell: Big bar, cool velvet paintings, nice patio ( you have to smoke outside in Austin), TWO kitchens, hot and really nice bartenders, CHEAP drinks, fast service, tons of beers to choose from. Your money goes a long way here, and the Chipotle Bacon burger is not to be missed. I wish they did not have to close at 2am, but they told me they open everyday before noon, so I guess that is long enough. I will be back, and you should not miss this place when in Austin. Freddy

I heart the Jackalope. The Jackalope definitely one awesome bar, with amazing food. The regular kitchen has great bar food, the best burgers around. The pizza place in the front makes a fine thin crust pizza with a fantastic sauce and a some really great and unusual toppings ( pulled pork, blue cheese and bacon, and a chicken caesar salad pie are some I have tried). This place is a far cry from the mostly crappy pizza in Austin. The bar scene at The Jackalope doesn't neatly fit into a single category as most downtown bars do - all sorts of people rub shoulders here. It can get really busy at times, but there are always places to sit, and the drinks are strong and cheap. The staff and owner are really cool and friendly. Me and the girls favorite spot to go out!
