Walking into Deep Eddy's is like going back in time... an old school dive bar where you can get a…read morecheap drink, play some pool, and spark up a conversation with a stranger at the bar. It's a surprising but unassuming melting pot of Austinites of every stripe that's open 7 days a week, rain or shine, and most (if not all) holidays. No frills. No nonsense. They take happy hour very seriously with their Mon-Thurs 12-1 (??) and 7-8 options. The beer is cold and comes in mugs, mini-pitchers, and pitcher-pitchers -- and all for the cheapest price in Austin. They also have liquor and mixers ...and technically wine (if you dare) but I don't know that anyone's ordered wine here in the last 50 years. I'm tempted to ask just for giggles but risk, of course, being thrown out by one of their friendliest or surliest bartenders. It really is a choose your own adventure type of place.

The King of Neighborhood Dive Bars (and that's an absolute compliment)!…read moreDeep Eddy Cabaret is a family-owned business that's been around since 1950 or so. I've gotta sidestep and mention that it reminds me of a favorite dive bar in Pittsburgh where I'm originally from. We like to visit after a day at Deep Eddy Pool and lunch at Pool Burger. We end our day here with Shiner drafts served in perfectly frosted beer mugs. This old-school joint attracts patrons of all ages (21+) and backgrounds. Neighborhood regulars, folks from across town (like us), and tourists. It's that place where you pick up conversation with total strangers and feel like you've made lifelong friends even if you never see them again. The bartenders are great. They actually take the time to chat, ask about your day, what you've done up to that point in the day, etc. The bar is embodied in the kitschy decor you'd expect to find at this type of watering hole. Lots of cool things for the human eye to take in. The prices are insanely affordable. $4 for a Shiner draft! Though I've never actually made it, happy hour is Mon-Thurs 12-1 pm and 7-8 pm. Final note, the bathrooms are super clean!

Then the pandemic happened (cue dramatic lightning strike!). I started trickling in in 2021 and the bartender said "hey, I remember your review about us and i'm sorry for the experience you had. I had been waiting for you to come back so I could tell you." Bought me a beer. Everything else I previously said about BSS is absolutely true, it's chill af, cold beer, pool table, tons of outdoor seating, dog friendly, great deals, tvs, music. You really can't go wrong here. Esp with the people watching going down lamar and barton springs rd. So absolutely game changing service save there. As a hospitality worker forever, I totally get dropping the ball sometimes, but it's the recovery that sets places apart and this is a cut above. I am terribly sorry I didn't write this update sooner, but just forgot. Go here.... a LOT

Hello, I wanted to…read moreshare a very disappointing experience I had during my recent visit. I've been coming to your bar for about six years and have always enjoyed the atmosphere, which is why this interaction was so upsetting. When I approached the bar to order, the bartender, Julia, immediately said, "Don't piss me off." I was caught off guard because I hadn't said or done anything at that point. I was ordering drinks for myself and my partner, so I had two tabs. Before receiving my drink, I let her know that I wanted to cash out both tabs. After handing me my drink, she walked away without closing them. I politely reminded her that I needed to cash out both tabs, and she responded by saying, "You're pissing me off now." When I explained that I had already mentioned wanting to close both tabs, she told me, "I'm completely sober, so I know what you said. You're drunk." At that point, I had only had one beer. Whether she believed I had misunderstood something or not, I don't think it was appropriate to speak to a guest that way. I responded by saying, "It's okay to be wrong," which I understand may not have helped de-escalate the situation, but I was frustrated by how I was being spoken to. The interaction continued outside, where she raised her voice at me in front of other guests. I told her that it wasn't appropriate to yell at me publicly and that beginning the interaction by saying "don't piss me off" was also unacceptable. The conversation continued to escalate, and after I had already paid my tabs (approximately $18 total), my beer was taken and thrown away. I've worked in the service industry as well, so I understand that difficult interactions happen and that everyone has stressful days. However, I also know how important it is to remain professional when interacting with customers. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect to be treated with basic respect. I'm not writing this to get anyone in trouble. I simply wanted to make management aware of an experience that left me feeling embarrassed, uncomfortable, and disappointed at a place I've supported for many years. I hope this can be addressed so that other guests don't have a similar experience. Thank you for taking the time to read this I also found it concerning that you repeatedly emphasized that you were sober. At no point did I question your sobriety or suggest otherwise. My only request was to cash out both of my tabs. Being told, "I'm completely sober, so I know what you said," felt unnecessary and had nothing to do with the situation. It seemed to escalate what should have been a simple interaction.

It is a little less low-key but I still feel the same way about the bar! The cocktails are poured properly And the service is always timely. They have a taco truck and a pizza Leon truck in front of warehouse and both are very good options to go check out!

The first room/entry is heavy traffic, where most people are dancing (or lack thereof) and also where the bar is. It gets pretty chaotic. If you manage to push through and head to the patio (left), you'll find some breathing room. While the venue leans into an "Asian" theme, it raises the question--are the owners actually Asian? That's where I get the major ick from. As you can guess, it's a hard no.
