Live music, karaoke, cheap drinks, and a classic dive bar vibe
"Gary Clark Jr., Spoon, and Fastball all got their start at Hole in the Wall, and Bob Dylan once did a painting of its exterior. (He is also painted on its exterior.) Stop by and maybe you'll see the next big thing in music—or at least an entertaining show at a grungy taproom near UT." - matthew jacobs
"This unpretentious dive bar and live music venue has been serving cheap drinks for over 50 years. Located on the Drag, it’s a popular spot among University of Texas students and punk and rock music fans. It features three bars, two stages (one for karaoke), and a small outdoor patio. The mix of local and touring acts and the casual atmosphere make it a favorite among music lovers and those who just love to drink." - Darcie Duttweiler

"This super-divey bar on the Drag is a perfect spot to catch an up-and-coming Austin band while crushing some beer and bites, especially because the latter comes from JewBoy Cantina with burritos, flautas, and sliders. There are indoor and outdoor areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A West Campus dive bar and music venue at 2538 Guadalupe Street known as a student hangout, the space includes a back-room restaurant area that recently hosted a vegan burger operation and now houses a new burrito- and taco-focused kitchen. The venue’s owner, who has El Paso ties, partnered with the chef-owner to bring a campus-oriented food program and hosted slider service at the bar during South by Southwest events." - Nadia Chaudhury
