So, I'm there at the end of the night throwing darts like a good Irish boy and all of a sudden, no beer in my hand, they shut down the game. Now this isn't a legal thing or anything of the sort and these guys are just being dicks. I try to talk to them and they're asses. In any case, I'll never be back and I will never give them another cent. As a reference, I'm a regular at many an Irish pub in Austin and a welcome customer. I tend to be very nice to people because I've worked in service before. Not nice people at close. If you intend to be there at close, choose a different bar.
Pros: Good prices and location
Cons: Staff aren't held accountable

This authentic Irish bar is all about the beverages. No food to get in the way of a relaxing good time. A recent renovation has moved the front wall back a bit to create a lovely, covered front patio for people watchers and smokers alike. There is a nice HDTV for watching the games, but the music stays on most of the time.... even when we're watching sports. Plenty of eateries close by so you can get your grub on and still be in the neighborhood. This bar is my home away from home. I come here for happy hour. I come here for Friday nights. I come to celebrate the good things and drown my sorrows after the bad. Come on down for good beer, mixed drinks, icy ciders and hot Irish coffees.
Pros: Adults only, just drinks, The Big H
Cons: They won't let me move in

This is a no-nonsense pub. Bartenders are friendly and happy to engage in conversation over a pint. It's a good place to escape the crowds and obnoxious frat party that is much of 6th street. But make no mistake, the patrons here know how to have a good time, too.

When I was new to Austin, a friend showed me this place and I always love going back. The bartenders are great, the beers are dark, and if it suits ya there's a nice little courtyard so you can still enjoy your smokes.
Pros: Smoking-Area, Laid-back

When you walk into Bull's you'd better have left your pretense in the car b/c the boys are there to sit back, have a few pints, and enjoy some truly merciless slaggin. Slaggin, is the art of giving it to ya just as you deserve, with a side of wit. So, say you come strollin in tryin to impress somebody, well God help ya, b/c your probably gonna get trimmed back a few notches. Now if your lookin for a good no nonsense place to relax and enjoy a couple of pints w/ some real people, you cant find a better place.
Pros: Harry, The big H, The regulars, The jukebox
Cons: , Open too late, Close too early
