Description

A beloved Austin dive, Barfly’s is a cozy, slightly dark neighborhood refuge where cold beer, generous pours and bargain prices meet a killer jukebox and plenty of pool tables. Friendly bartenders (and the owner) keep the vibe safe and lively, with a small patio for fresh air. Not upscale — tiny indoor space and limited parking — but pure, nostalgic charm.

I was in Austin for two days and ended my evenings here both nights, so much I liked this place. Classic diving rooms, in absolutely best way! Cold beer, fantastic prices and the owner delivered perfect service behind the bar. Cosy environment, but still alive enough to be exciting, will be the next time I'm safe in town.

Barflys is my favorite tumbler since Hard Luck Lounge closed. It is definitely not unusual, but the music is great, the people are mostly chill locals, the bartenders are friendly and helpful, specials are good, and they have many pool tables (dive bar must-have . We happened accidentally to their 20th. Anniversary in the other night, and she gave every shot of something from a spare gas can (I asked the guy pour what it was and he said I didn't make it, but it was actually quite good and went perfectly with my Lonestar and it was creepy to watch him run around. It is largely indoor, but there are some decent outer seats, and everyone was masked. I am not so far north often, but I love to stop it absolutely when I am! Come on!

Strong drinks and chill bartenders. Come on the days for a cool time. That's one of my fav dive bars in the north center. $7 for 2 Tequilas

Staff was friendly. Tight space for pool tables, but we managed, and had a great time. Drink prices are fair.

I spent 2 days in Austin and ended up here for dinner both nights because I enjoyed it so much. The place has that classic dive bar atmosphere, and in the best possible way! They serve cold beer at fantastic prices, and the owner offered outstanding service at the bar. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively enough to keep things exciting. I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in town!
