My husband and I visited here during a Christmas Pop-Up. It was crowded! They had a fun Christmas band and everyone was having a great time. They had clean bathrooms, quick service, and a fun atmosphere!

I love a good dive, especially ones with photo booths and Malort. Our first night in Austin with nothing to do had us looking for music and we found a small showcase at Hole in the Wall. The place wasn't too full, the sound for the bands was good, everyone, staff and patrons, were incredible friendly. For a good time, find the Hole in the Wall

This legendary location is where many young UT freshman get their first alcoholic beverage some may prefer to refer to them as spirits when they come from this place. Back in my day, they didn’t seem to care much about IDs. I don’t know how they get the drinks today. But the first drink I ever had at this bar was something called a mind-eraser, which was recommended by the bartender. The enlightening beverage consists of a shot of Kahlúa and a shot of vodka combined. Since then, I’ve seen many great live music show and many a fantastic scene at this bar and live venue. The place is known for its very dirty men’s restroom. I think it has been mentioned plenty of times around these reviews and in movies or documentaries. It’s a lot of fun to see an upcoming musician play on the front stage with the street scenes and people walking by the large window. Also fun to see the medium bands in the backstage with a little more sound. While you’re there take a look at all the interesting street art on the walls at the hole.

Good venue for live music. Saw Pink Skies and Retro Cowgirl saturday - great gig. Cocktails aren’t great, better if u drink beer instead. Parking might be a challenge but note the San Antonio parking garage nearby.

Fun spot! Good shows, kind stuff, and a cool place to hang out. They have a nice indoor area, outdoor area with a pool table, and a separate indoor space for karaoke. Really enjoyed coming here.
