Donn's Depot is a beloved Austin piano bar set in nostalgic rail cars, featuring live music, dance floors, and a laid-back vibe for all ages.
"A dive bar in an old train station in Clarksville seems just about right. There’s live music and often free two-stepping dance lessons. It’s fantastically fun, and a photo shoot in the bathroom is a must. Even Dua Lipa visited when she was in town for ACL." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A classic Austin dive bar with live music and an old-school vibe." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Old West Austin dive bar’s first-holiday phase is here with lots of festive details. The second portion begins on Monday, December 2 with its holiday menu and way more decorations. There are indoor areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Housed in an old Clarksville train depot—complete with former railcars and all—Donn’s has been the spot for drinks, dancing, and live music since the late ‘70s. In that time It’s become one of the most iconic institutions in Austin, attracting both a younger crowd and people who have been there since the beginning. There are two dance floors, and you can expect to hear live music nearly every night—sometimes a full band, sometimes just tunes on the piano. Depending on when you show up, you may even hear the man himself, Donn Adelman, on the keys. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The dive bar’s winter freeze break started on January 14 and runs through January 16, with a plan to reopen on Wednesday, January 17." - Nadia Chaudhury
