Wow... what a place. I'm sure Gnar Bar was at its prime about a decade ago, but these days it's just a neglected venue holding on for dear life. Dive bars can be cute and kitschy, but this one is just gross.
It is very obvious that the owners have gone on to pursue other ventures and have completely forgotten about this place.
I've been here twice and both times they had plumbing issues. 1st time the women's toilet wouldn't flush and there was a mountain of toilet paper in the bowl (real nice ladies). 2nd time they had such a serious plumbing issue they had to shut down comedy in the back patio in order to snake the drain. I'm confident at this point that the bathrooms aren't even functional and simply exist for... other activities.
This place needs some serious attention and TLC from the owners. Based off their Instagrams they all seem to be doing pretty well for themselves, so why not reinvest money back into the bar?

Please cancel my transaction I will come in and pay in cash one day I promise!!!!
I paid with revolut and it won't go through. I've tried so many times. What a great bar, and great comedy out the back.
I feel awful about drinking for free. I will make it up to you, but FFS please cancel my transaction I get reminded of that hangover every morning when revolut fails to pay you
Much love from rainy England

Didn't try the food ... Got drunk and did karaoke 😁
Tried to order a round of beers with salt and lime at 1:40, and the bartender said oh no I’m not dealing with the salt and limes. ??? Like girl bye. Denying a paying customer, been there multiple times, won’t be back after tonight. And the round I ordered before, the guy who made our drinks said he was a bar back, drinks were asss, and the other girl behind the bar put the whole $40 I paid into the tip jar..

I had an amazing time! I came in last minute to watch a comedy show on a Monday night in the back and had a blast.
The bartender (Brandon I think his name was) was SO sweet and fun to talk to. If I ever have the pleasure to return to Austin, I will be back!
