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. But whether you're looking for mustachio'd mixologists, world-class beer
bars, or just a Tri Delt to stare at, Thrillist editor Dan Gentile knows where
to go.
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.
