‘Brat’ Singer Charli XCX Follows Dua Lipa’s Lead With a Visit to Austin Bar Donn’s Depot | Eater Austin

"Housed in an old train station turned bar, this cozy Austin watering hole is recognizable by its signature red glow, Christmas lights and neon Bud Light sign, and even features a defunct train caboose used as the ladies' bathroom. It has a dive-bar vibe but a notable music pedigree: Donn Adelman, the namesake owner, has been a fixture on the Austin scene since 1961, often performing on piano with a bass player and drummer, and permanently established the spot in 1972 after years playing around Austin and in Las Vegas. The place frequently attracts high-profile visitors — videos on social media and Reddit showed Charli XCX partying there while in town for her 2025 tour, and Dua Lipa stopped by after Austin City Limits in October 2024, enjoying drinks and snacks and posing for photos with the owner — underscoring its reputation as a celebrity-friendly local hangout." - Brittany Britto Garley
