Texas Bar & Grill

It's ok I guess. Typical hole in the wall neighborhood bar. Staff seemed friendly, but were not overly attentive. Didn't charge me for one of my drinks, even after me trying to get their attention for about 45 min. My gain I guess. Good thing is you can smoke. Not that I do, but my companions do. Didn't try the food, as the menu was not all that impressive. The couple next to us got what looked like queso in a dinky plastic souffle cup. Beer was cheap, shots were not. A "cheap" shot cost what 2 beers did. eh, may be back, may not. Overall, it was an Ok place to hang out for a few drinks. The place definitely had its regulars, but outsiders seem to be ignored.

This is definitely The Horseshoe Lounge of north Austin. Interestingly, this bar also falls beyond the realm of the smoke ban, so you can light up freely w/o any worry or precautions. Cheap domestic beers, NASCAR on the tube,  & darked-out windows makes this a diamond in the North ATX rough! The bar staff is friendly & the patrons seemed to be regulars who frequent the place regularly, & had a "Cheers"-like personality about them.  This unholiest of dive bars is a place I wouldn't frequent all that much if I lived in Wells Branch but bars like this are a dying breed here & it's nice to know that Texas Bar has survived.

Been coming here for years... friendly staff, cheap drinks.  It's your smokey hole in the wall "Cheers".
