Editorial Review for Barton Springs Saloon – by Tara Hall
In Short
This small corner bar just south of Town Lake exemplifies the term low-key. A dozen mismatched tables and bar-front stools provide seating for the saloon's laid-back patrons. Some smoke and mingle beneath the old gas pump-covering carport while others hang inside at the bar lit primarily by neon beer signs. A well-stocked jukebox playing in the background completes the small-town dive feel as bartenders serve up standard beer, liquor and wine.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyIf the cash flow is low, take advantage of the $2 Lone Star beer all day every day, or the $2 well vodka Saturdays and Sundays.
The ExtrasIf conversation among friends isn't enough, be sure to bring spare quarters. Pool, Ms. Pac Man and other fun arcade games will occupy the time.

Been hanging out at the saloon for almost 2 years now. Great place, bring your dogs, grab a drink. The staff is always so nice and helpful. The Andrews x 2 are super fun and keep the night interesting. Recently met Nikki and she's awesome!! If you are expecting red carpets and fancy service....just take a cab to the driskell. This is a low key fun bar filled with REAL people. The saloon never gets old!! I love this place
Pros: Great location
Cons: Hard to find a spot if busy

I love this bar! I frequent this watering hole often throughout my week and I absolutely can not get enough of it. The crowd is great, mostly just laid-back Austinites looking for a good relaxing time. I usually play a couple games of pool while there, and totally hit-up some Galaga. The staff are so much fun! They all seem like down to earth people and love to chat it up if they aren't busy. There's a cool deck out front where you can listen to the jukebox and people watch. I highly recommend this bar if you like to chill out and have a good time just being in Austin ( Greatest City in the WORLD!)
