not the best

by katiejamesteh

I like the atmosphere and the upstairs deck at Mae's but this place isn't one of my favorites. The live music downstairs is horrible and it takes forever to get a drink. On the weekends a domestic canned beer is $4 (lame) but the staff is always nice. This bar is a good place to head to after you're already drunk.

• Pros: outdoor area
• Cons: music, prices

A Gem on 6th

by bandit1619

Just did the tour of 6th and this place was the highlight of the night. Friendly bartender, decent prices (unlike Buffalo Billiards and Nunos), great atmosphere. My brother summed it up best for the crowd, "like nerds meet the women of Baywatch."

• Pros: atmosphere, prices
• Cons: none to speak of

Great afternoon, free wi-fi, cool breeze

by buckp

Recommendation for an afternoon on 6th St, in general, and Maggie Mae's in particular: Good little happy hour, currently $2 for wells and $2 for beer, but ck w/ the bartender; and they have a free WI-FI (after all, this IS Austin). It's a cool open air patio, w/ a full bar and a good breeze.

Good music, cool atmosphere

by mikendabox

I went here on a Friday night and it was packed! The beer wasn't too expensive for 6th St. and they had a really good guitarist playing some Hendrix. I like the way they divide the bar up. I will definitely be coming back.

Longstanding Sixth Street party spot known for rowdy crowds and loud music.

In Short
This Austin institution has a split personality. On one hand, you have the pub, with its large selection of draft beers. On the other hand, you have four distinct bar areas that accommodate a variety of crowds. Regardless of particular interests, this is a quintessential place to start out the night on famed Sixth Street. Expect to see a lot of college students and tourists soaking up the suds and the Southern-fried rock.

Classic Austin

by josh

This used to be the best bar in town in the heyday of UT. It's still pretty popular, but the crowd has gotten older and the music isn't quite as good.

Lots of out of towners come here, so if you're looking to meet one of them, this is your spot.

Live music on weekends.

Review

by samiam81

I love, love, love this bar. While walking down 6th street my boyfriend and I stumbles upon Maggie Mae's and it was very enjoyable. The waitstaff is excellent - very friendly. It also has the quality of being three bars in one. In a quiet upstairs nook we played pool, then checked out the Beatles cover band playing in the side room, and finally strolled upstairs to the roof to sit and drink. Plus we got in early enough to not have a cover charge - definate plus. If you stumble across Maggie Mae's like me definetly go in, you will not be sorry.

• Pros: Friendly Wait Staff

NEW AND IMPROVED

by Bishopbaby

Maggie Mae's has cleaned up the place a lot since last year. They are re-furbishing the loft area and have started booking decent bands. Bar staff is great and friendly and really made me feel right at home. I will be back, soon.

• Pros: cheap pricing, great staff, best view
• Cons: small bathrooms
