Austin’s New Restaurant & Bar Openings - Austin - The Infatuation

"After closing in 2022 because of a massive fire, Crow Bar has reopened in a new location near the airport. While the old location was more of a dive bar, this new, bigger space is a music venue, with a big stage for live acts. Much like the old location, expect a dark interior, stained glass windows, and gothic decor." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

Crow Bar is one of the last true heavy metal dive bars in Austin, and its new location keeps the spirit alive. The setup is cool, with a mix of a bar, food, pool tables, and a jukebox blasting heavy tunes. The live music venue brings in different bands, keeping things fresh and loud. It’s got a gritty, old-school feel that metalheads will appreciate. The patio is a solid spot for smokers to hang out without missing the vibe inside. Whether you’re here for a drink, a game of pool, or a killer live set, Crow Bar delivers

Great venue. Fantastic atmosphere, excellent staff, good lighting snd sound. Didn't try the food, but it smelled lovely and others enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

Been loving the new location. All the staff are personable, and in good spirits. The dark aesthetic is something I was craving to find in Austin again. I also love that it’s a little tucked away and going there feels intentional. Plenty of parking, and been loving the fact they are a venue now too! Highly recommend the meatball sub, and the fried pickles are the best I’ve ever had. Their drink menu is pretty extensive and they can make a great mocktail too if you’re not in the mood for alcohol. 10/10 spot!

This Crow is rising from the ashes... Crow Bar is BACK!! And it is glorious. Much larger space, now with a stage for what's already looking like a sick lineup of bands, food truck still, pool tables, jukebox, and all the same sweet vibes. Get your sweet patoots out there and help reign in the triumphant return of the best bar in Austin. 🤘

Fun bar! I loved their jukebox and the phone booth photo op! They have a big menu. Loved the outdoor area. Loved the giant jenga blocks that we can play with. Nice pool room. Loud music, you have to shout in order to chat with the people next to you. Seemed like a lot of people were there solo. They have a pizza menu. It was easy to park for free on the street of the bar on a Friday night at 9 pm. They have weekly specials offered.

We were sad to see the OG Crow Bar go, but the new place is really, really good! The ambiance is killer, the drinks....man, the drinks were fantastic, everything about the new place is great. And there's room for live music! Really happy to have Crow Bar back!

I mean this with complete adoration: this place just opened and it is already a glorious craphole. Authentically dingy and sketchy in appearance/architecture while the staff is somehow upbeat and polite. The PA is crap but the sound person is still killing it. I could not love a new place more. If they had figured out how to preemptively make the floor simultaneously sticky and slippery they would have really nailed it. I mean it is only a matter of time before someone kicks a sink off the bathroom wall and the picture will be complete.

Great (and strong!) drinks, super friendly staff, and actually these guys have amazing food as well. They do italian flood including sandwiches, pizza, etc. and it is unreal. Oh yeah and great tunes served hot as well. One stop shop, we loving hanging out here.

You know the best thing about this new version of Crow Bar is that it truly feels like an upgraded version of Old Crow bar. They have sweet selection of fancy cocktails, craft beer and crap beer and damn near the coolest, nicest bar staff in the whole city. I like the new focus on live music. The Raven Room reminds me of the old lost well stage and so far the booking has been solid. I've already seen several great shows there. The patio is cool and he new areas where a tattoo artist can set up and the cool thrift store area also only add to the charm of the place. Crow Bar is a good time and totally worth visiting! I have as of yet not tried the pizza. I do love Chicago tavern style pizza and that's kind what they have here looks like. I'm looking forward to lots more fun at the new Crow Bar! P

One of the few places here that is a bar, bar. Also one of the few rock punk metal bars in the Austin. Good to see it come back in a short time after being burnt down previously. The pizza is still pretty good and there's a large cocktail menu. The staff was nice and lots of outdoor space.
