CastroNova

Castros is a great local bar with a family run friendly atmosphere.

The bartenders are awesome. They have darts and pool.

There is food and its good!

They allow smoking, so prepare to leave smelling pretty bad. But what do you expect, right? Who cares at 2 AM ;)

Love the Karaoke on Tuesday nights.

This is one of very few smoking bars left in Austin. Live music during the week and DJs on the weekend give this place a good variety of entertainment. Also they give a 30% discount to food and beverage service industry employees! I see a few people gave this place a bad rating but its been around for years and the menu has changed. Their philly cheesesteak, their pizzas, as well as their burgers are definitely worth trying... even at 12 midnight.
