This has become my most favorite bar in Austin. Servers are the best every time I've been. Great atmosphere and very inviting.

Stumbled upon this place as we were just staying a 5 min walk away. Mix of bikers, hipsters and college bros. It was a good place for a drink and chill on the large patio. Order at the bar, no table service.

What a great time! Mario is probably one of the best bartenders we have met in our travels. He’s got that old school vibe with a fantastic personality.! The bar is exactly what you would expect. If I could give 10 stars I would.

2 shots $55 premium liquor didnt tell us it was premium. Kinda scummy

Edit: Well look harder. We did order a shot of scotch and a shot of casamigos. The scotch was $35 and the casamigos was $20. For two shots. Thats a rip off. Seeing as this is a dive bar in memory of Johnny Cash? He would roll in his grave.

Crooked bartender charged me $20 for a whiskey Coke and then charge the next person 12 disgusting I don’t remember her name but she’s fraudulent and gave that place a very bad name. I will never go back.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. My friends and I went to this bar expecting a fun night, but unfortunately, we were met with terrible treatment and outright discrimination. Not only were we singled out, but one of our friends was kicked out for no reason, while others were allowed to stay. The staff seemed to treat us differently based on our appearance, which felt incredibly racist and unfair.
We tried to maintain a respectful attitude, but it was clear the staff had no interest in providing a welcoming atmosphere. It’s disappointing to see a place that claims to be for everyone behave in such a discriminatory way. I would highly advise others to avoid this bar until they address their issues with fairness and respect for all customers.

Great Austin authentic atmosphere with a really vibey patio. I would highlight how fantastic the bar service was ...impressively so. They didn't let anyone go long waiting for a drink no matter how many people waiting. Some of the best customer service at a bar I have seen in years.
