"You can’t mention Crown & Anchor in Austin without Posse East’s name coming into the conversation—there’s a friendly rivalry between the two, and everyone has a favorite. This sports bar has been around even longer than its rival up the road, and in that time has developed a dedicated fan base by turning out solid, admirable bar food and Tex-Mex classics (especially the queso). The crowd is a mix of Texas sports fans, grizzled UT alums that never left town, grad students grading papers, and UT football coaches. And because Posse is right by campus, when there’s a home game at DKR, you can even hear the crowd when the Longhorns score. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
