Barfly's - Austin

I was in Austin for two days and ended my evenings here both nights, so much I liked this place. Classic diving rooms, in absolutely best way! Cold beer, fantastic prices and the owner delivered perfect service behind the bar. Cosy environment, but still alive enough to be exciting, will be the next time I'm safe in town.

Barflys is my favorite tumbler since Hard Luck Lounge closed. It is definitely not unusual, but the music is great, the people are mostly chill locals, the bartenders are friendly and helpful, specials are good, and they have many pool tables (dive bar must-have . We happened accidentally to their 20th. Anniversary in the other night, and she gave every shot of something from a spare gas can (I asked the guy pour what it was and he said I didn't make it, but it was actually quite good and went perfectly with my Lonestar and it was creepy to watch him run around. It is largely indoor, but there are some decent outer seats, and everyone was masked. I am not so far north often, but I love to stop it absolutely when I am! Come on!

Strong drinks and chill bartenders. Come on the days for a cool time. That's one of my fav dive bars in the north center. $7 for 2 Tequilas

I've lived in Austin for 4 years, and this is my favorite dive bar in the city. There's a nice patio out back for smokers, or just to get outside on a nice night, and the inside is cozy and has that ambiance people who love dive bars look for. If you're passing through town and want somewhere not far off the interstate to visit, this is a gem.

Barfly is always a great choice to play some pool and just take it. Albert is a super cool guy who will also take care of you! He also makes a mean jamison and ginger.
