- The drinks are strong, so order a hard drink rather than a beer to get your money's worth. But the prices are great either way and it's a good place to start your night. Maybe to finish it too.
- Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 26, 2018One of the best dives in Austin! Quick, friendly staff (get to know them if you can, Brittney and Mikey are as solid as they come), 3$ wells all day every day, 3$ drafts on Mondays. 5/5
- exfmFebruary 24, 2012The drinks are strong and cheap and the bartenders are awesome. Make sure to try all the homemade infused vodka. If you're a hipster here for SXSW this place will feel like home.
- love this bar! The bartender with the backwards hat usually gives divided attention because there's alway a girl he's talking to that's more important. Veronica is the best <3
- Michael WilkinMarch 16, 2015Really fun spot, but prepare yourself for some of the strongest drinks out there! Found this beauty on Supper:
http://supper.mx/places/side-bar-austin/ - Jeremy TeelDecember 15, 2015Three dollar well drinks are always good. The most I've ever spent there was $18 and I left pretty happy.
- Jennifer MartinezMarch 14, 2011Salvatore, the Italian doorman, is the sweetest. He will hug you when you show up crying and serenade you as you leave. Sit by the bar, enjoy a Sidebar pour, and tip Meghan and Veronica well!
- Uber ShaunaMarch 16, 2013I love the staff and the owners. What a great place to hang out! The drinks are always special.
- Matt ParkAugust 14, 2010Great place whether you love early happy hours chilling with a few people and a movie, or if you want to pull an all-nighter with a bunch of hipsters. It'll be a good time either way. Great staff!
- Huge patio out back. Great spot for pre-show drinks in Red River District.
- Sierra ClarkSeptember 8, 2014The sweetest bartenders and greatest outdoor seating around. Nice little break from dirty sixth.
- Lauren FachMarch 13, 2013I felt right at home here! A little hipster and divey, but I'm cool with that!
- There's a new house-made infused vodka at almost every visit -- seriously worth trying every flavor.
- Someone played Built to Spill - Stab on the juke box. Legendary. Oh, and the drinks are insanely cheap/stiff.
- Do512February 17, 2012Heaviest pours for a mighty nice price ;) Athens in Austin 25th Anniversary party during SXSW - check out do512.com for more deets!
- Dylan HeimbrockSeptember 19, 2012The pool tables are made even using napkins! Watch out for faulty rolls!
- Corey WardJuly 18, 2015There's a fee for paying without opening a tab. In other words you have to pay to pay if you're not sticking around.
- STRONG DRINKS! I always have to order a coke back for my Captain and Coke.
- Awesome as always. Best, most personable bartenders in town!
- Order whatever well you want for $3 (and rest assured you'll be tipsy off 2).
- Cheap, stiff drinks for $3. Don't even need to ask for a double
- I hope you like graffiti! Otherwise it'll be hard to urinate here.
- Would you like some tonic with that glass of gin? (via Scoville) Read more
- Andra LittonMarch 14, 2009Go to the side bar. avoid ordering doubles, they already come strong. sit at the bar, nicest bartenders in town. put chance in the jukebox, worth it.
