"Head to Far East Austin, where Fear Fair runs through November 2 at Sign Bar, turning the bar and its grounds into a haunted carnival maze of jump scares, sinister clowns, dark corridors, and disorienting setups before themed drinks help settle the nerves." - Darcie Duttweiler

"A crawfish boil takes place on Saturday, May 17 from 2 p.m. until it sells out, featuring crawfish plus shrimp and crab and the standard fixings like potatoes and corn. Pricing is tiered to reward quantity: one pound for $11, three pounds for $30, and four pounds for $45, so the more you eat the more you save." - Courtney E. Smith

"I noted that Sign Bar is one of FBR’s newer additions." - Nadia Chaudhury

"A new opening framed as a monument to local nostalgia, designed to evoke familiar memories and offer a comforting, retro-leaning experience for patrons yearning for the recognizable touchstones of campus life." - Eric Webb
"We’re not entirely sure if it serves as a tribute to old Austin, or a stark reminder of how quickly the city continues to grow, but Sign Bar in far East Austin, near Walter E. Long Metropolitan Park, is a bar with dozens of signs from closed, iconic Austin businesses. Use it as an opportunity to revisit some old memories, or just as a mini history lesson. There’s a full bar with a small menu of pretty classic, simple cocktails, plus the usual options for beer and wine. There are rotating food trucks on-site most nights of the week. photo credit: Sign Bar" - Nicolai McCrary
