6TH STREET. When Austinites want to hang out with friends and party, they tell everyone they're going to The Library (wink, wink). It's not exactly deception, but it definitely means beers before books! Frequented by a collegiate crowd, the casual place offers drink specials, a lively atmosphere, tons of like-minded folks, and pool tables to keep things active. If you're looking to socialize, The Library's got that in spades, too.

6TH STREET. If you're shy and retiring, you may want to reconsider a night at this "Texas-sized" sing-along bar. That's because audience participation is a big part of the action as folks belt out their favorite songs, accompanied by talented piano players and a club full of like-minded patrons. Eminently singable tunes include those recorded by Elton John, The Beatles, Dave Matthews, ABBA, and more. Since two pianos and pianists are dueling, you'll likely have to give your vocal chords a real workout if you want to be heard!

Hours: Mon 8pm-2am; Tue-Thu 7:30pm-2am; Fri-Sat 7pm-2am

UNIVERSITY AREA. Texas's oldest tavern is still thriving, even after nearly 150 years in business, and its fascinating history is rooted in the German biergarten tradition. Over the years, the place has welcomed innumerable politicians, writers, artists, and musicians; O. Henry and his wife (both active in local singing groups) even performed here a few times. Today, the place continues to be a favored watering hole, and it offers a good selection of beers and traditional German and Texan foods like bratwurst and barbecue. A great hangout.

SOUTH AUSTIN. The Saxon has a history of supporting Austin's singer-songwriters, a large contingency of whom congregate every night to enjoy performances from the area's best and brightest or to play themselves. The club doesn't restrict itself to just one genre, so you'll find anything from country and acoustic to rock and blues on any given night. An ideal place to hear local musicians. A cover is charged after about 7pm.

NORTH AUSTIN. This circus-themed bar gets props just for being quirky. They only serve beer, but they do provide set-ups, so you can bring your own liquor. Local bands take the stage (backed by a large pink elephant) on Tuesdays and from Thursdays through Saturdays. True to its independent nature, Carousel closes at midnight, so it's better to start your evening here than try to end it.

Hours: Tue-Fri 2pm-Midnight; Sat 2pm-1am

Payment Methods: Cash Only
