To successfully navigate Austin's sprawling bar scene, it's important to know a few geographical rules -- hipsters stick to the East Side, yuppies opt for Rainey St or West 6th, and historic (aka "dirty") 6th St is where college sophomores go for $.25 wells.

Best Club: Despite playing host to a ton of awesome DJs, Austin doesn't have many true clubs. Kingdom changed that. Although the crowd can be a little obnoxious, the sound system is unparalleled, and there's no other space in Austin where you'll feel uncomfortable not dancing. Plus, they've actually got a solid beer selection.
