"This is how this East 6th dive bar feels about SXSW: They play Apocalypse Now on repeat the entire time. They’ve seen the horrors, and they know not to get out of the boat. The Grackle has cheap drinks, one of Austin’s best whiskey selections, and a big covered patio out front—so it’s a good place to take a break from the SXSW frenzy. Just maybe tuck your badge in your shirt or something. " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
"The whiskey dive is open from noon to midnight on Thanksgiving, with Wild Turkey bourbon whiskey specials all day." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The whiskey dive is open from 6 p.m. until at least midnight on Thanksgiving. If it remains busy at night, the bar will stay open through 2 a.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Texas State Senate Democratic candidate Robert Walsh’s election watch party is taking place at the East Austin bar starting at 6 p.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
"For your next stop, head to The Grackle on East Sixth Street — named for that polarizing central Texas bird that has its legions of haters and fans. The Grackle’s dark wood-paneled interior features a circular bar where locals like to catch up, as well as a roofed outdoor patio.Try the home-brewed Hot Toddy to warm up on a chilly spring night. The drink is an elixir of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, agave, lemon, and Bulleit Bourbon." - Vox Creative
