Historic beer joint with eclectic indie bands & dance floor
"The front door calls it the "Historic Scoot Inn," and the adjective is justified. This largely outdoor East Side dive has been around since 1871, which makes it about 15 years older than hair dryers and Coca-Cola. Today, it’s a hub for cool indie-rock bands and other performers on the rise. (Japanese Breakfast played here four years before becoming famous enough to book Saturday Night Live.) The barnyard exterior feels extremely Texas. You don’t need to drink Shiner Bock to fit in, but it helps." - matthew jacobs
