Love this place! Admittedly, they get points for convenience, as they're just down the street from me, but even when they weren't we drove out of our way to visit. You never need to order a double shot, as the bartenders pour well, there's always (GOOD!) Karaoke, and the atmosphere is juuuuuuust the right amount of trashy. Wearing my super short skirts and barely-there tops, no one bats an eye, and i always feel at home. There are 10+ tables with decent felt and not-chipped balls, well-lit where it counts, tuesdays are free, and theres also a night ladies play free, although i can't remember when. Also tournaments, but even when they hold them they dont use *ALL* of the tables, so us regular joe shmose can still play too. 10/10 would recommend. Bonus points for entertaining bathroom graffiti!
Edit: Still going here, a year later! Ladies nights Saturdays, league night thurs, free day is Tuesday. Im bummed they painted over the bathroom graffiti... but im guessing it'll find its way back, lol

Original Manchaca. A not-so-hole-in-the-wall-anymore bar that offers ~15 pool tables, karaoke nights, friendly staff and clean enough facilities, and the prices are far better than any awful trendy 6th street joint. Glad they've stuck it out longer than most places down South of town.

Huge selection of beers and liquor, 10 billiards tables. Plenty of free parking.

Very casual atmosphere and a good crowd for a Tuesday night. There are plenty of pool tables and a tabletop version of shuffleboard, which was a lot of fun. Great place to relax, visit with friends and have fun!

Looking for a lowkey billiards with a laid back vibe ! This is your place on Saturday’s they have karaoke! And one bartender who is wonderful!
This bar and pool hall offers a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere. The pool tables are well-spaced, featuring durable equipment. The bartenders and staff are approachable and attentive to customer needs. However, a notable drawback is the condition of the restroom stalls, which are often broken, unclean, and lack privacy.

One of the last of the real bars anywhere in Texas. Don't let morons deceive you. Some folks just can't see. Play some pool. Drink a beer. Have a conversation. Be nice. Have fun!

One of my favorite dive bars in Austin. Tons of pool tables, cheap drinks, awesome staff, karaoke and just an overall great atmosphere to hang with friends
