"Whether you’re part of a bachelor party of three or 30, Buford’s is the place to get your night started. You can rotate through the indoor, outdoor, and rooftop bar areas to see which bartender is willing to spray the bachelor with the water gun, and there’s pop-a-shot, cornhole, and digital beer pong for the former high school athletes of the group who have something to prove.

"Included among four bars whose liquor licenses were suspended for a month after failing to comply with capacity and table-service requirements during the pandemic; the suspension was part of local enforcement efforts that were soon overtaken by a statewide order closing bars again." - Erin Russell

"I observed that Buford’s Beer Garden on West Sixth had its liquor permit temporarily suspended by the TABC as part of its “Operation Safe Open” for failing to follow COVID-19 mitigation measures; the suspension began June 20 and will last 30 days. Social media posts over Memorial Day weekend suggested the bar had not been following social distancing for some time, and owner Bob Woody publicly criticized the new Austin mask mandate and distancing measures, comparing his business to recent protests and asking, “When I do something wrong, what do I get? I get threats. I get enforcement. I get punishments.”" - Nadia Chaudhury
