Blind Pig Pub

This place is fascinating, it was my first time there but it won't be the last. By the way, if anyone knows the name of the band or their accounts, I can follow them. I liked their atmosphere.

great 2 story bar with a roof top and a photo booth which i LOVED, also fun claw machine. we went on a friday night and there was an amazing cover band doing a bunch of 90s songs and the crowd loved it. i would highly recommend checking this place out if you’re on 6th street

It’s midnight here on sixth Street I’m 64 years old. I do have a beard and I have a long hair. I bought some pizza across the street and came over and they said we can’t bring the pizza in while I understood so I said now on the carbonate, my pizza and I want to go in and the little 17 or 18 year old kid whatever he is so go like I’m not letting you in He was a very disrespectful Probably been in this bar 100 times and never had a problem. I hadn’t even had a drink yet tonight he said I had what a punk I’m surprised they hire people like that. Give you a negative review for that if I could.

It’s a great pub with great vibe. The crowd is somewhere in their 20s-40s, that don’t leave the bar not until 1am lol. They have a great live rock band every night . You can enjoy great beers snd cocktails with great music. They also have a pizza bar in the rooftop. The bartenders are very friendly, too.

Fun place, the downstairs and upstairs have an equally fun but different vibe. Bartenders were great. However, the night got ruined after the musician there got creepy, saying that my girlfriend isn’t here and I should go make out with a random girl passing by, made me sober up real quick and think about some of the earlier comments. That said, it seems they always have new people playing and this was just one of them that wasn’t great, otherwise a VERY fun place to be.

Had an awesome experience here. Great live music. The band even brought up one of the bar patrons randomly and he was an excellent addition. The drinks were typical of a bar and decently priced. Cool space and all the bartenders were polite and helpful. Great spot for a few drinks and potentially dancing if you go at the right time.

Awful experience. Jerk bar tender yelled at me when I ordered my second round of drinks because he didn't find my card. He cussed at me and called security for no reason. A security guy said he was going g to f me up if I didn't leave. My wife and I just wanted our receit to make sure they were not going to charge us for drinks we didn't order. Don't come here. There are plenty of good places around

Came here during a 6th Street bar crawl. They had the NFL playoff game on the TV so I was pumped. I only had drinks here so do not know about the food situation. The beer was pretty good! It was easy to get a beer which was nice!

Quintessentially Austin / open to 6th street, good beer,good prices , rooftop bar ( if you can stand the Texas heat - right now too hot for me ) and good service ! Enjoying an IPA on 6th street

Just ok. First bartender was awful and basically ignored us. The place was empty.. However her replacement was personable and took care of us.

Very unfriendly staff that seem generally angry with the world. Would not go back would not recommend.

Great music! Upstsirs is open air (hot) but such fun! Great loud plsce with good drinks!

This is an awesome Austin bar! By far the best live music setting of all the bars we visited. It's huge! We visited the beautiful upstairs bar twice during our June visit. Big stage. Big bar. Very large seating area. No wait for beers here. Walk up, order, drinks out in no time. This was the largest bar we visited. I didn't even see downstairs. Upstairs is open air on one end, opening up to beautiful downtown views. Only issue here was the live band played the night before when we were there. I would have preferred to see a different band. It also became a real BROfest as the night wore on. Not my scene, so we moved on. This bar is a must visit when you are in Austin. Great location on 6th street. Great service. Clean bar. Friendly staff. I will return.

Quick drink service, big college crowd. Lots of dudes, not so many ladies both times i went over the weekend. The roof was covered, so thats nice. Big TV upstairs as well as some arcade style games. I like that they had big water jugs throughout. There was live music on the ground floor Saturday night. We went right upstairs though.

My husband is handicapped. They told us we couldn't come to see the band! Second floor no access!! It's federal law!! What a disappointment!

Most folks know about The Blind Pig Pub as this has been a landmark on the infamous 6th Street in Austin, Texas for over 15 years. I came here a few weeks back with some work peeps while waiting for out table to be ready across the street. We came in on a Monday night so there was not a crowd, and we were easily able to get our drinks and hear ourselves while listening to the live musician. We stayed downstairs but didn't venture to the upstairs patio as it was sweltering out. The bartender was courteous, prompt and mean (in a good way) with a shaker. We stayed and enjoyed our beverages for about 40 minutes. This was definitely a great spot for pre-dinner drinks. Fun fact: There's a photobooth inside and yah bes believe my colleagues and I used it! #supportlocal

Chill vibe (for 6th St) which I appreciate. Live music downstairs, games and TVs upstairs. I respect that they have a shooting protocol in place. So when there were shots fired outside the staff calmly ushered everyone upstairs, turned up the music and kept the drinks flowing. Lol. Good times.

Live music on a Sunday really nice outdoor atmosphere with fans. Games including cornhole and shooting baskets. Full bar

Went here to see a live band on a Thursday night and it was awesome. Will 1,000% be back.

What a wonderful way to finish a visit in Austin, TX!!!! The Blind Pig Pub had live music on the roof top on a Tuesday evening. It was a great blend of country, rock, modern, and classics. The band was Chris Gates and the Black Hats. They were fabulous!!!!! We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the music, the drinks and being on the roof top.

Did not have equis. Quite disappointed. I'm new to the channel and just making sure everyone is receiving a good equis.

What a cool place! We came here and went upstairs to get drinks, They serve High Noons which was a big plus for them on my end! They have a great view on the second floor and a live band was playing when we arrived. We were able to be served right away and got our drinks immediately! The bartender was great and k ew a lot! They even gave us some fun facts about the place! Enjoy!

This was a cute little bar on 6th street. The rooftop bar was closed when we arrived so we got our drink downstairs and enjoyed the live band for a bit then headed upstairs to enjoy the view of 6th street. Rooftop definitely looks like a good time when it's open. Staff was friendly and vibe was awesome. Definitely would come back

I do love rooftop bars and mixing that with live music I'm sold! Unfortunately, the service is less than. We stood at the bar where a couple was seated and talking to one another and waited for one of the 2 bartenders to acknowledge us. I'm not a fan of waiving down a server/bartender for their attention (that can be taken as a rude gesture in bars) so we waited. The bartenders looked over a few times but still chose to continue their conversation. Once we were acknowledged we were given ice filled cups with barely anything in them. They have a credit card minimum and they keep your card so don't forget to close out. Typical 6th Street bar downstairs but the breeze on the rooftop is unmatched in the hot months

Best SXSW place. Always an enjoyable time. Will take the train here but not as often as we like. Rooftop is the place to be.

Went at 3pm on a Saturday. Bar wasn't crowded at all, but bartender did not attend to us and acted like we did not exist. Seemed to me because we are people of color. Stood there for about 15 min and left. Do better. Also limited options for liquor. Bar smells like piss. Bathroom stalls are tiny, you will hit your head on the toilet paper dispenser, so be careful.

This place rocks! They always have live music (upstairs and down) and plenty of different bars to walk up to. They also have some games (cornhole, basketball) which are super fun to play with groups of friends even if it's on a day that's not super busy.

We went to the Blind Pig Pub for St. Patrick's day and had a blast the staff was great fast service at the bar the band was awesome so was the ambiance.

Worked well for our large group of women who went upstairs and claimed our own spot to dance and still had space around us. People around us were fun!

Such a cool spot on dirty 6th!! Live music on a huge covered roof, games, and good drinks! The huge tvs make it a good place to catch a game.

One of my favorite bars I've been to. The downstairs area looks normal but upstairs they have a live band playing and people from all around dancing to them. Drinks are also affordable and have a large variety while the staff is very nice

I was excited to hear we had A Texans bar in Austin to watch the game; we showed up early and got our seats and it was great; until the band showed up to play music and you can't hear the game. Do not recommend coming if you are interested in watching the game!

Cool, dive-y place on 6th with a huge, covered rooftop. Good beer selection and great TVs. Stage for live music as well and a few game machines.

Why did we choose Blind Pig? a) they were one of the only spots that night already featuring a live performer (in this instance, a solo guitar player/singer); and 2) their AC was on and very inviting. We sat at the bar and chatted up the very distracted bartender. He took the time to chat with us about beer - mostly to give my friend an overview of the types they had, and what he'd suggest for her tastes. We then got into a friendly debate about Stouts and IPAs, which I'm sure took him by surprise. We ordered a couple of drinks and opened a tab; I handed over my card to keep that tab open. The guitarist was good, even though he was playing to a mostly empty bar. My friend and I did appreciate his talent, and that he covered some of the songs that were the soundtrack to our lives. At one point, he had a friend - and I think, former band mate - join him at the mic for a song or two (that's when I remembered to take pictures.) We were there for maybe 90 minutes, trying out many of their local brews and enjoying the music. We left when the crowd started to turn a bit more...young...and when we realized we were hungry. The bartender we'd interacted with had left by then, so I called over the girl who'd come in for that shift, and asked her to close out my tab. She gave me the bill, had me sign, then turned around and walked to the other side of the bar. I flagged her again, telling her she still had my card. She nodded, went to the other side of the bar, and stood there. I had to get up and ask her again to give my card back to me. Not. Cool.

The security/bouncer was really rude to people walking by. As we were about to go in the pub, the bouncers made ridiculously smart remarks toward me and both of the girls that were with me. These bouncers single handedly made people repulsed and resulted in many lost business as there were many better pubs and bars around. Just judging by the bouncers, I'd give this spot less than a 1 star if I could!

Clarkson is an amazing. He knows the entire menu and was super social. If there was more tenders like him the world would be a better place

I visited the Blind Pig with family after the UT graduation and had a blast. Coming from Seattle, I really love the vibe of the rooftop/open-ceiling bar. But with that humid weather, makes sense bc I was still drenched in sweat. Appreciated the huge water jug and cups on dance floor! We arrived just as the live music was ending and the DJ was coming in. Service was fine, nothing noteworthy bad or good. A few photo booths in the building. The one upstairs seemed to have really dark lighting from the pics we saw left behind, but the downstairs photo booth was worth it to capture the moment.

As long as that horrible 90s cover acoustic background entertainment guy fabian Rivera never plays again; this place would probably fun again during happy hours. Fun place but not for everyone

It's just another bar in Austin, except it did have Macallan and Guinness, which was not easily found on 6th street

Horrible everything..rude inattentive staff. Dirty. $30 bucks for two cocktails. Won't ever return to this place again.

My husband and I went out Sunday night (7/30) and against my better judgement I wanted to try this place and step outside the box. As soon as we go in the Door man were giving my husband the stare down as if he was a criminal of some sort. We ignored that and walked up to the downstairs bar and ordered 2 shots of Jack Daniels. After paying $10 for each and taking the shot I politely ask for a small cup of water and the bartender surprisingly and rudely said " CAN I HAVE MY TIP?!" We were blown away how rude he was and how he assumed we weren't going to give him a tip (like we did the other bartenders throughout the night) but when we said are you serious he tells my husband and I to "get outta her then" We were the only black customers in the bar and when I realized this it all made sense. If you are a person of color DO NOT go here. And to the bartender YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!!!!

I liked the vibe of the upstairs area (music, dancing, lively all around) but the bartender downstairs was really rude, but only to me and my friends. He was talking and having fun with the group before us so we waited to order our drinks and said he didn't have the ingredients for the drink I wanted (which is understandable since it's mostly beer at this place). Didn't say a word to us while getting our drinks and while we paid but perked up and was really friendly to the next group that walked in. Went upstairs afterwards and it was more fun and the bartenders up there were friendlier.

Great Bloody Mary and lots of choices for drinks! Went midday and was bussin!!! Great place to watch sports !!! Excellent spot and large space! Bar crawl came through here and they were very attentive to everyone!

Located om 6th street this is the place to be during the day before those mosquitos come for you and you alcohol infused blood. They have a Super cool roof garden, a lot of fun games all around, free and paid ones. We came up as the rooftop gaden had some great jams happening and some cool vibes. The Live music had all the people dancing and having a great time as the tones were super fun and well chosen the selection was very eclectic for any and all musical tastes. The drinks are well made and the price is super ok. We had a great time and I will definetly come back. I am all for keeping austin weird this place made me a believer. There was no cover charge to come in when we came here and that is definetly a plus. I didn't have a chance to see if they served food as I was super busy enjoying the great music and drinks, but you come by here let me know what your experience was.

If you find yourself on Dirty Sixth Street you're likely there for a reason. If that reason is live music and drinks, you found the right spot. Blind Pig is spacious - the big reason I give it four stars. Even on a weekend evening it never felt overly crowded. There are tons of places to hang out, multiple bars, and the best part - a rooftop complete with views of Sixth Street. The rooftop is great for watching the madness below. Drinks are basic bar drinks. Nothing fancy. But the bartenders were always nice and kind. When a group of rude and rowdy college guys cut in front of me at the bar the bartender was nice enough to ask them to step aside and acknowledge me. Needless to say, he got a nice tip. Live music was nice. We danced, hung out, and just overall enjoyed ourselves. Great spot!

Chris is an superb bartender! It's a great location to pregame for some solid drink specials!

Great live music spot! Built like a maze and reminds me of the old college bars back north. Hundreds of people shoulder to shoulder enjoying the music! The live music was amazing and the overlook great! Truly enjoyed the venue and arcade games. We would come back.

The Blind Pig is kind of an institution on Dirty Sixth Street. I have been coming here for about 10 years and it never really changes. The reason I come here is to see Joe sing. He has a great song list and is always into the set. We grabbed a seat at the bar and had a couple of drinks while listening to Joe crank out the tunes. My friend who is a singer knows Joe and wanted me to tell him hello so I walked up and mentioned her. He knew exactly who she was. We probably stayed about 45 minutes and then moved on. You kind of get burned out with the drunks who pile in and out after a while but that's what Sixth Street is all about so you need to just roll with it.

Great music, fun crowd and amazing drinks! My friend from high school knew a bartender here and he hooked us up. I loved it!

I'm a sucker for a bar with a roof top. I always stop here when I'm on Dirty 6th. It's a cool rooftop where you can dance to mid-2000s hits. Sometimes, the other bars on 6th get a little too hot inside/feel a little too much like a frat basement. Blind pig's roof top does not suffer this criticism. I can't say the same about their main floor though. It's dark, but more like how a dungeon is dark than a club. The drinks are a little expensive but they have pretty standard prices for 6th street. You don't go to dirty without paying a premium for the drinks. Their beer selection is pretty limited. But, the mixed drinks are fine. Be warned, they lay on the 2000s nostalgia hard. I think I heard them play fergalicious 2x in 1 night. You could see this as a positive. It's kind of an austin thing in general. They know their audience. Be warned. They bar only accepts credit cards with a 10 dollar minimum. They will take your card, give you a drink, and then make you buy another drink to hit the minimum. Its fun to watch the college kids and bachelorette/bachelor parties get sloppy while jamming out to Kanye West pre 808. If you're in the mood for that, come here and do it on a roof top.

Absolutely TERRIBLE. Came to this bar a few times during my vacation and this past night my family and I were served at 1:55am when they're closed at 2am where we were pushed out of the door and I was assaulted where the bouncer PUSHED me and grabbed my drink out of my hand when I did nothing to provoke security. Because of this, my brother was upset and yelled at the bouncer where he PUSHED my brother as well for no reason intended (legal action will be taken) and kicked us out. Absolutely HORRIBLE experience after loving this place the past few days and completely violated as a woman who was pushed and degraded coming out of this place. Wish I could recommend, but I would not.

Dirty 6th how I loathe and like you all at the same time. I have been to the Blind Pig Pub many times throughout my bar crawls of 6th. It's a solid place to stop for a drink. I enjoy the rooftop bar the most since you can view the street while listening to live music and a drink or two. Note, the Blind Pig Pub had even made an appearance on TOSH 2.0. How cool is that? An infamous bar!! So now you have to check it out.

Terrible place! Avoid! So unprofessional: we came from nyc for a friend's bday weekend in Austin and the staff was so rude and there was a girl who screamed in my face. It was horrible, awful. So aggressive. DO NOT GO! Terrible place.

Great place to enjoy the evening breeze, sip a dos equis, listen to live music, watch a game or bust a move ( anything goes)

Great bar with great live entertainment. This bar has a live country singer who provides a large list of music he can play. The drinks are spot on and the bartenders are very friendly. Alcohol prices are very reasonable and the bar has a great vibe to it. Would definitely recommend.

Wow this place blew me away!! Great bartenders holyce and Thomas were very polite and funny while engaging my friends and I in conversation! Highly recommend going to The blind Pig to see live music and cold beers!
