    It's a rad bar with cold beer, music, and billiards. Staff was friendly and everybody seemed to be in a good moon.

    A great hidden gem right by the Y at Oak Hill. If it were closer to me it would be my bar of choice.

    This is a great dive bar! Drinks are cheap, good games and karaoke on Thursday. It was a nice break from the overpriced main stream Austin

    Doc's backyard is located in the Sunset Valley shopping area, tucked away in the corner lot (so you…read morecan be outside or in). I like sitting outside because it's usually quieter, but that's hard to do in the summer... Doc's has several specials - they do Happy Hour from 3-6 with some apps on sale (including their quesadillas) for $7.99; beers are on sale as well (not sure about mixed drinks as I typically go there for beer. They have been out of a beer more than once - would like it if they tightened up on reordering so that this doesn't happen as often. Service is usually good - attentive servers, correct tabs, etc. They also have daily specials - Fish and chips on Fridays is our favorite as it's a good portion, but I agree with another poster that the fries/chips are bland. The booths are large and comfy for the most part - easy to get 6 folks in some of them - which is nice for larger parties. Puppies are welcome on the patio and it's always nice to be greeted by friendly dogs when you're outside. Docs is a great neighborhood spot if you're in Sunset!

    Soooo I have good and bad news for everyone…read more Good news ~ being over 99 degrees outside means $2 marg season in August, so that was a win! And it was delicious!!!! Bad news ~ this menu attached is the gluten free menu provided after requested by my friend & they said it's only gluten free ish because items are cooked in similar spaces and they don't have alternatives for buns other than lettuce, for example. And with that, all substitutions are like meat and veggie or chips. It just didn't leave my friend feeling satisfied with our meal afterwards. Service however was good! The server was kind and provided us with the menu. We know that this menu is out of his hands :/ however ... it should include gluten free options and servers should know them and that! Ambiance - very lively

    I came to Austin for the week to cat-sit for my daughter and asked two strangers on South Lamar…read morewhere a woman traveling alone could find live music. Without hesitation, they both pointed me to Donn's Depot. They were absolutely right. From the moment I walked in, the place felt authentic. Not curated. Not trendy. Just a room full of people genuinely enjoying one another. The bartender was friendly, the regulars immediately welcomed a complete stranger to their table, and before long I was swapping stories with some of the kindest people I've met in a long time. Murphy's In-Laws were fantastic. Their musicianship was outstanding, and after I asked about a James Taylor song, they dusted off Steamroller--a song they hadn't played in years--and performed it like they had played it during warm-ups. Definitely not for the "first time in 15 years." They threw in "Shower the People" for me afterward! Donn's is one of those local favorites that is unforgettable because it provides moments you can't plan. One thing to know before you go: they don't serve meals, but they do have complimentary popcorn (which was great to discover if you haven't eaten anything prior to liquor)! What stayed with me most wasn't just the music. It was the hospitality. A stranger (who overheard my desire to hear Steamroller) quietly paid for my song request. A table of regulars pulled up a chair and made room for me. No one asked why I was there by myself. They simply welcomed me and nick-named me, "San Antonio." From a mic. If you're looking for polished nightlife, this may not be your place--but you probably need to go anyway. If you're looking for authentic Austin, genuine people, excellent live music, and an evening that reminds you how kind strangers can be, don't miss Donn's Depot. Keep Austin Great, y'all!

    This unpretentious, eclectic, festive, multi-generational dive is off the rails. Get it?…read more Named after Donn, a local legend, who plays piano or tends bar at least once a week. The authentic but repurposed train station opened in 1972. In fact, a vintage railcar serves as an elevated viewing area of the dance floor, and you may want to check out the women's caboose. Literally, the depot has a caboose for a restroom! Going on a Friday night, we paid the $10 cover and it was a little crowded, but there were a few seats at the picnic tables in the wrap-around patio and I managed to step on only a few feet on the small dance floor, dancing to Donn and his Station Masters playing honky-tonk soul, western swing, and rock and roll covers. If you want a fun night, choo-choo-choose Donn's Depot. :
