One of those unique Austin bar finds. It’s a great place to stop and have a cold beer if your waiting in line to eat at Pool Burgers.

As far as dive bars go, this really is one of the best.Its got cheap beer, with a few craft options. Its got a old decor and furniture, while remaining very clean. Its based around simplistic decor, while still feeling cozy. Its dark like a dive bar should be, while still well-lit enough to be able to interact with friends and staff.Its also in a good, safe location which is nice.

Employees do not know how to verify valid ids. Wanted to enjoy some beer at a local joint w/ friends but were turned away with valid drivers licenses. Wouldnt except other forms of id either. Hate to see it when your trying to support local.

Always good... Update... Have loved Deep Eddy since I was of age to drink. But at least let dogs on the patio downgrading from 5 to 4 because sometimes the dog is out, theyre allowed so many places, including the trail right there next to Deep Eddy, and pool burger, and then you get to Deep Eddy and have to go home :(

Another one of the last remaining personifications of the true old Austin. Cozy neighborhood bar with one of the best record selections on the jukebox in all of Austin. Don’t miss out on Will Bridge’s Burger trailer Pool Burger in the back.

This is a Dive bar. The very definition. Gross, dingy, dirty, ect. Two drinks cost $30 after tip. Outrageous. I will never go back here.

The bar tender told me to lose weight when I asked him for my check after being disrespected. He has no idea what feeling he made me feel or how to speak to a woman but that is beyond heart breakIng that a bar in Austin, TX would encourage this behavior.

Grungy, loveable old dive that at last accepts credit cards and sells wine and liquor, in addition to draught beer.

This is still one of the truly great local watering holes. While tons of wanna be hipster dives keep popping up, they still serve cold pitchers of beer in cold glasses and the ac still struggles to keep the place cool. Thankfully a lack of windows, excellent service, and a decent juke box keep the place cool enough even when its over a 100 fehrenheit during friday happy hour. Please stay away! Jk, just try and keep it the way it is.

This bar is great; I can’t believe I didn’t come here sooner. The drinks are reasonable and it is very clean for the dive vibe it gives off. It’s a hidden little gem, bonus you can bring food from Pool Burger up to eat while you drink. The bartender was friendly and the dark cool atmosphere is a great escape from the sun

Classic dive bar. Prices have increased recently. Id expect its because the area has recently got some new food joints. But nice place to hang out and play some pool.

Honestly one of my favorite dives in Austin. It smells like your friends parents pool house from the 80s and where else can you get a pitcher of beer for under $8? The Jukebox is good too.Love the atmosphere.

Still going strong with frosty beer mugs, a no nonsense jukebox, and walls that double as a museum of Austin culture. They also have local brews in cans, if you insist.

An old old Austin bar. And that is saying alot cause Austin is losing gems left and right due to scraping. (because its an over hyped cool place to live)

This place is classic, ice cold beer, pool tables and just steps away from deep eddy pool. This is the only bar on the west end of the lake and is a perfect stop when youre doing a bike tour!

Great little dive bar. When I walked in I was transported to the 1980s. I love the nostalgic feeling. And I was surprised that they had a patio but they did and I was pleased

Great CASH ONLY bar. Very friendly bartenders, locals and minutes away from the Deep Eddy pool. Great local hangout and a good range of local activities during the weekend. They do have an ATM here, but be forewarned that it is CASH ONLY. Many times Ive forgotten about this, but just as with my reusable grocery bags, it eventually sticks to bring em.

Review №61

Cheap beer. Not too crowded on Friday night. Plenty of characters. People willing to talk to you or join you in a game of pool. Parking. The outdoor area could be bigger and less smoky. Basically, a great spot to end the night away from the downtown crowds.

Horrible experience. Filthy glasses. Filthy restrooms. Some unknown substance floating in our pitcher and the rudest response after we brought it to their attention (discretely at that). On top of all that, they tried tacking an extra pitcher of beer onto my tab that definitely wasnt ordered. Manager was EXTREMELY rude. Stay away at all costs.

Review №83

This is one of my favorite Austin dive bars to date! Neon lights, ancient furniture, old-timey decor. Couldnt ask for much more.After trying 2 other places that ended up being closed on a Sunday night, we finally stumbled upon deep Eddy - they were open! Took a seat at the bar and the bar tender got to us fairly quickly. Really enjoyed the ambiance and it wasnt too noisy. It was a really chill place and a good spot to grab a drink w a friend and have a nice conversation.

They dont take credit cards.EDIT: Im told they take credit cards now. Upgrading my review from 1 to 3 stars. Ill have to visit again to give a more fair review since I cant remember what the place was like in my brief visit the first time.

Review №85

I love this bar. Its a dive and some of the bartenders dont give a hoot, theyll make you wait. Go sink a dollar in the good times jukebox and choose some classics. Shoot a friendly game of pool. Be sure to bring a buddy and split a pitcher because the beer is expensive by the glass. Dont try if youre underage. Listen to the most eclectic group of people try and talk about a single subject and try not to become a regular.

I lived across the street on south lake Austin Blvd. at the time a pitcher was a dollar. And they had a pool table in the back and a flying duck game you shot with a pistol. If you were a god shot and not to intoxicated, the ducks would fall screaming into the ground. Way before video games. A wonderful bar to. I loved it .. A short walk and myself, Steve crossant Bruce Morgan Martin, Richard Alcock, and many more friends Steve winters, and Martin Bernard..Gotta go again. !!!

This place is vintage Austin. Every time Im here Im transported back in time to when Austin was still the hidden gem of Texas. This is the authentic Austin bar experience.

I guess this was an actual cabaret back in the day. The history is completely lost on me though when I sit in a dive-ish hole in the wall. Its a popular place for a diverse crowd, but not for me.

Review №97

This is a nice, quiet place off Lake Austin that serves pretty dang cheap beers. The people who frequent are all mostly seem to know each other, which makes it even more welcoming. Its cash only, so make sure to stop by an atm or your bank before heading over here (& get enough out to tip well). Theres a pool table, and a juke box- add those to cheap drinks and youve got yourself one fine afternoon/evening.

Tiny little dive bar with cheap beer by the pitcher, an eclectic juke box, and pool tables that you cant make some shots on because the walls are too close. My kind of place.
