Incredibly frustrated with the treatment me and my friend received at this RACIST establishment. We’ve been all over W 6th before and have never, ever encountered an issue like this. “Bouncers” kicked us out because my friend was using her real ID, yet they claimed it wasn’t her? HUH? Doesn’t make any sense.
If you have any type of melanin, do not come to this place. I’ve seen them let in underage blonde girls who come with football players, they clearly pick and choose when to be respectful and when not to.
It’s even more frustrating because this was a go-to place for us. We love Tacos Wey and have even gone on random weekdays. However, because of the treatment those racist “bouncers” gave us, who also refused to give me their names, we will not be going back and will be making sure to let our friends and family know how racist and rude this establishment is.
Never, ever spending my money here again!!!!!!! Y’all clearly cater to the white crowd. Me and my friend do not plan on stopping calling your establishment out until it is addressed.

Buford’s has an awesome atmosphere — spacious, energetic, and perfect for a night out. The drinks are solid, the music is great, and the outdoor area gives it a really chill vibe. It’s one of those places you can stay at for hours without realizing it. Definitely worth a visit!

Last night my phone and wallet was stolen from my purse and I tried to get in contact with Buford’s through their email and phone number and haven’t heard a single thing back. The bouncers and bartenders were not helpful at all. I would be very careful and aware of your items here because when it gets crowded, it’s really easy for people to snag your important items.

Good fast service. Drinks are over priced. But a good bar to hang out at overall.

We’ve seen the recent one star bombing of this place, so let’s start off with something honest: this is a bar directly on West 6th that clearly focuses on the younger crowd and having a fun, dance friendly energy. Do not come here expecting the same over the top service and brown nosing treatment you’ll get over on East 6th. This is a bar meant for having fun, so if your $6 beer comes out 30 seconds later than you’re used to… get over it!

Anyways, Buford’s is a classic post grad bar focused on offering a fun, semi-chaotic environment with a large open dance area and multiple floors where you can rest and grab a drink. It’s one of the larger bars on 6th so you can always look for an area to relax if things get a bit too crowded (which they will, it’s popular). The music is typically pretty good and the atmosphere is very lively making it a go to for post grads or 20 somethings.

The service can be slow at times but that is typically because they are overwhelmed. If you would like to be served faster then go to one of the bars on the second floor, service speeds up a bit there. Again, this is more of a wild and loose dancing bar on weekend nights, they do slow down more in the mornings where it has more of a traditional bar feel. We would say if you’re looking for something more relaxed and reserved on a night out then walk a bit further down 6th to see other options, but if you’re looking for a place packed to the brim with energy then this is your spot.

Bartenders were more interested in talking with their friends serving customers, and when I did get a beer after multiple times asking for one, it was skunky, they obviously haven't cleaned their tap lines in awhile. Just sloppy altogether.

Cant believe how nice the bar staff is, genuinely amazed on multiple occasions they were very accommodating even on busy nights . If i had to pick one place on not just 6th street but all of austin this would be my go to. Simply because it does everything well, particularly when it comes to drink selection, cleanliness and the new upgraded cinema screen is the best bar none.

I really liked the vibes here. Inside there is a club like area where you can dance to music. There’s stairs on the inside so if you want to be raised you can overlook people. There’s also a higher level for more space and a bar kind of vibe. Outside there is also a chill bar area that doesn’t have the music blasting so if you need a quieter place to chill out it’s really helpful.
