Patio Bar with Plasma Screen, and Live Music!

  • Outdoor Seating
  • Happy Hour Specials
  • Live Music

The Tiniest Bar in Texas may be tiny, but it is one Grand time in Austin! This eclectic, outdoor seating venue is centrally located on West 5th Street in the heart of downtown Austin. It has two large outdoor seating areas to accomadate all. This is a great place to go for a drink at night, during the day, and when the time arises for a cold drink and deep conversations with friends. A large plasma screen television is in the middle of the bar so the crowds can cheer on the Longhorns while enjoying the nice Austin weather. The Tiniest Bar in Texas also serves as a live music venue, so you can listen to live music while drinking your favorite beverage, all on a large outdoor patio. This bar has a laid back vibe, welcoming everyone, even your dog! Stop by today or tonight, so that you can say you've literally been to the Tiniest Bar in Texas!

Editorial Review for Tiniest Bar in Texas – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Texans are known to exaggerate, but they don't often boast that something is the smallest. The bar is essentially the size of a snow cone stand, serving beers, margaritas, Mexican martinis and other mixed drinks. Located near an increasingly busy location, back behind Whole Foods and Pure Austin Gym and amongst the condo buildings, the bar serves a mix of neighborhood upscale professionals and residents who enjoy the comfortable patio chairs and low-key atmosphere.

User Reviews for Tiniest Bar in Texas

4 Star Rating: Recommended

This bar is different from most any bar I can think of in town because it has people from all walks of life. People you might see at a preppy bar, gay bar, rocker bar all come together to enjoy great music (often a lot of 80s and Indie) in a very low key atmosphere. I am also totally hooked on Tito's and Sweetos. This is Tito's Vodka with Sweet Leaf tea. Anyone from the SF bay area might see a similarity of vibe with Zeitgeist in the mission district. Me likeskit!!!

Pros: Great Location, Great People, Great Music, Great Vibe

Cons: Lines at the bar, but thats true anywhere I guess

2 Star Rating: Below Average

the photo here is flattering. up close, it's pretty shabby next the glitzy condos and the whole foods compound. drinks are cheap and there is a good selection, but it's a little grungy and it's right on the road. better hope it doesn't get cold or rain because there is nowhere to sit inside.

Pros: cheap drinks, good location

Cons: zero atmosphere, car exhaust level, noise level, no indoor seating
