Nothing bad about Backlot, diverse crowd, cheap drinks and a food truck out front

Jonathan Parker

Classic local dive bar in a single story cinder block building. Bare bones, friendly atmosphere, great prices. There is a food truck but the bar is the main reason to come.

One of my favorite divey bars, well priced drinks and some of my favorite staff. I believe her name is Jess, she always has fantastic earrings, but she deserves a raise! Superb service. The taco truck in the back is amazing too.

Simply best bar in town

Incredible bar, one of my favorite bars in Austin (along with the sister bar, Workhorse) - very cool people here, reasonable prices, nice outdoor seating.

Lots of draft beer selection and very friendly bartenders. I’ve been coming here since it used to be Nasty’s way back in the day and luckily it hasn’t changed too much. Thank you so much Back Lot for keeping your beer prices like Old Austin when so many other places have gone the down the greedy New Austin path!

Backlot is the quintessential local bar. On par with the greats like Crown and Anchor. Going by yourself or with friends, the comfort and fun you’ll experience has had me coming back throughout my time in Austin. Great place to meet new people or to just read a book and have a beer at an affordable price. A personal staple and a must try!

Pool table, darts, booths, and chess. Plenty of stuff to do here, with all the normal bar amenities. There's also a dope taco truck open till last call outside.

this place should be retitled THE Back Lot. Because it’s THE bar to be at. Historical Austin landmark. Visit history in the making. Ranch water will save your life I promise. Tacos are scrumptious. Shout out to Ben and Spencer!!!

Parking: A bit tricky sometimes but that’s because all of Austin is here having a good time.
