"An enduring campus-adjacent institution since 1971, this classic college bar proves the best places don’t have to change much to stay great. The beer is cold and cheap, the patio overflows on game nights, and the burgers are decent—or taste like heaven after a few Lone Stars. Generations of Austinites have passed through, from students staggering in after class to parents dropping kids off on move-in day. Walk inside and the only real update is the flatscreen TVs; otherwise, it’s the same reliable hang that’s been there for decades, and it feels poised to keep going for many more." - H. Drew Blackburn
