Circus-themed dive with live music, beer, wine & BYOL setups

























"This Windsor Park circus-themed dive offers set-ups, beer, and wine. Open since 1963, it features an eclectic mix of live music, including rock and jazz sets, all of which are played beneath a giant pink elephant mural. It’s cash-only, like any good dive should be, but there’s no outdoor space." - Darcie Duttweiler


"A long-running Austin dive bar founded in 1963 by Cecil and Myrtle Meier that has retained staying power under family ownership; current proprietor Nicki Mebane credits much of its longevity to also owning the building that houses the bar." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Carousel Lounge, another local dive bar, is featured in Legacy Business Month and is a stop where people can visit and get a passport stamp by purchasing something." - Nadia Chaudhury

"On his Instagram, Doug wrote of the Carousel Lounge, “Mercifully, some things never change,” reflecting his appreciation for bars that resist trendiness and retain a familiar character." - Brant deBoer

"A bring-your-own-liquor bar with circus-themed decor that supplies mixers and a playful, carnival-esque atmosphere for DIY cocktail nights." - Nadia Chaudhury
