Deep Eddy Cabaret

"One of Austin’s oldest dive bars, Deep Eddy Cabaret, has been serving cold beer and good conversation since 1951. This no-frills spot near Deep Eddy Pool is known for its jukebox, neon signs, pool table, and laid-back atmosphere. Despite being in an area not known for dive bars, Deep Eddy Cabaret remains a classic hangout for those seeking old-school Austin charm. It has a rich history and a loyal crowd of regulars." - Darcie Duttweiler

"If you’re looking for an old-school Austin experience, head to this beloved neighborhood bar. Deep Eddy Cabaret has been open since 1951 and is a dependable spot for cold beer, loud tunes played from a jukebox, and classic dive bar vibes. It is open until 2 a.m. on Sundays." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Pretend the sun isn’t out at this dimly lit West Austin dive bar while armed with beer and mixed drinks starting at noon daily (but yes, there’s a patio too). There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury

"This Christmas light-covered dive just west of downtown looks like a set straight out of Friday Night Lights, but with more old hippies and fewer Tim Riggins sightings. Grab a pitcher of Lone Star or really whatever cheap beer you prefer, and play some pool while enjoying the sounds of Willie Nelson on repeat. When you get hungry (or decide you want a tiki drink), check out Pool Burger around back. " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary

"Have an after-fest beer or five far from the Sixth Street crowds. Another easy walk across the pedestrian bridge. There are indoor areas." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
