So beautifully decorated for Christmas and live music is fantastic! The drinks were strong, good and relatively cheap even though there is a $5 cover to get at least around Christmas time. Such a fun time tho and would go again!

Cool chill spot for some festive holiday drinks! And the decorations are really fun! Will definitely make this an annual stop to celebrate the season.

Went to meet friends and bought only 2 beers. I woke up to a $50 charge on my bank account. Either a canned beer is $25 a piece or they add 300% tip on walked tabs instead of 20%

Never in my life have I been met with such incompetence. Forget ordering a drink, these people don’t even know how to count capacity to let people inside. Look up the Webster Dictionary review of Bafoon and you’ll find a picture of Matt Eberflus and another picture of Donn’s Depot.

$10 cover and the door people couldn’t manage to count the number of people leaving so it created a line unnecessarily
One of our favorite places of all time old school, Austin. There’s no other place like it in the world and Michelle and Tammy are the absolute best mini beautiful memories of the best music wonderful friends dancing laughing & running into all kinds of wild characters from the early 20s all the way up to 100 years old. We love you Donn!!!

Just around the block from El Arroyo and Mean Eyed Cat... What a great classic Austin spot, and they've been around a while, for good reason.
Went to 'Donn's Depot' expecting a musical chill dive. Donn's did not disappoint, as always.
I'm told they have a tiny stripper pole in the women's restroom, ha!
Atmosphere is an dimly lit, older style venue with tables and nooks with more tables, dance floor abound. They have a baby grand piano with a custom table built around it so you can sit around the piano and eat/drink/watch. There's also a keyboard on the long end of the table.
Music: Saw some incredibly good music there. A lot of heavy hitters in local music playing there, was really a magical evening of great jams, dance floor boogie, and get down!
Drinks: The drinks are quite affordable. Maybe $6-8 draughts. If you get the bottled Lonestar, I believe they are $4.
For service industry workers, (I think) all the beers, maybe drinks, are $2 off, each, granted this was a Monday, so that could be limited to Mondays, YMMV.

Last July, my wife and I, as newlyweds, travelled across eight Southern states in 10 days. Our stop at Donn’s Depot was, by far, one of the highlights of our trip. We stumbled upon this wonderful establishment on the recommendation of another bar that was closing up for the night.
In Michelle, Michael, and the rest of the team, we found a true home away from home. The live music was sublime, unpretentious, and heart-warming, as were the people who came and went. They’re that little bit of magic at Donn’s that means, two months on, as we sit eating breakfast back under our own roof, we still talk about the trip and wholeheartedly agree that we’d go back to Austin just to drop in here and say hi. What a place. Thank you
🙏 PS: if you visit, please go in with a warm heart, say hi and offer to buy the lovely folks behind the bar a drink on us.
Fun atmosphere with live music and cheap drinks
