"This is how this East 6th dive bar feels about SXSW: They play Apocalypse Now on repeat the entire time. They’ve seen the horrors, and they know not to get out of the boat. The Grackle has cheap drinks, one of Austin’s best whiskey selections, and a big covered patio out front—so it’s a good place to take a break from the SXSW frenzy. Just maybe tuck your badge in your shirt or something. " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
