Stopped in after a concert. Friendly bar tenders, beer pong going, music bumping. Not a bad spot in 6th street, wouldn't spend all night here but you could bump for an hour or two. read more

Bartender overcharged for 2 drinks and 2 shots. Shots were advertised as $5. Bill was $54. The manager is a joke. Scammers

Don't go here Bartenders are scammers! Managed to get the name of the bartender (Jocelyn) if that was even her real name but got a picture of her. Horrible person avoid her if you don't want to get scammed. She got mad at me for something someone else did. Not only was it rude, but also very racist. She then gave herself 20% tip without asking. Gave me a receipt then made us wait forever for our drinks so I asked for a refund before she made our drinks. She said no. Then lied and she she made the drinks a long time ago as if it wasn't directly in front of me. She talks to customers like they are stupid. Wouldn't give me a manager either she just said "nope I'm the manager". Worse service I've experienced at a bar. read more

No complaints at all. The food was good and cheap, I had a smashburger. The drinks are cold and well made. I had a spicy marg and it was perfect. Just enough heat and not too sweet. They had a band while we were there, pretty low key and just right as a backdrop. Stop by if you're in the area and have a drink!! Don't forget to get a pic on the Jackalope! read more

The bar was going up on a Monday! It was my last night in Austin and I was debating on going to 6th street alone. I am so glad I went! As I walking down the strip, I heard people singing at the top of their lungs and I decided to see what this bar was about. You're met with a huge Jackalope right in the middle. I immediately said I must take a photo of myself on it!! That night at the bar was a mixture of karaoke and music being played. Music was great and the vibes were immaculate in there!!! read more

I liked the music here and the drinks were ok, but if you get lured into a "free" drink- it's not really free. Bartender told us it's normally included in receipt just hidden which felt icky. read more

So this is one of your bars on dirty 6th st. So you can't expect it to be top notch but I will say that it is a fun bar and everyone in there is always very nice. And the food is just delicious food. If you want good french fries and a burger or chicken strips definitely hit this place up. Only thing I can complain about is the restrooms that they are very unkept and smelly. I love getting the pulled pork sandwich there with extra pickles and it comes on some kind of sweet bun that it's just amazing. You have to get the waffle fries with a side of Kasso. It just makes the day. My friend got lemon pepper chicken tenders and OMG it's the first time I tried them and they were delicious. They have a full bar so can make you anything you want and always have some kind of shot special. And this place is dog friendly, which is awesome. read more

This is definitely a younger aged crowd, but you can't beat their food menu. Great burgers, wings, chicken strips, and late night snacks like sweet potato tater tots and waffle fry nachos!! I generally won't plan to go here, but never have a bad time when a night ends here (often due to getting the munchies). read more

The Jackalope is... well... bad. The bartenders are not friendly, drinks not good, and the energy just feels off. There's not a lot of dancing and the music is obnoxiously loud. The best part about the whole bar is the statue you can take photos on but that lasts about 30 seconds. There are a few games you can play but this bar is just such a miss in an area already built on the idea of a miss. There's really not much more to say, would not recommend this bar at all. read more

We loved it there. The indoor/ outdoor situation was amazing. They had cornhole and cute swings. During the day they have misters to keep you cool too. We loved the jackalope you could sit on and take pictures with. Who doesn't love a good Instagram worthy photo opportunity? The food was great and the staff was engaging and so attentive. read more

Fun place to grab some drinks with friends. Pizza was delicious or maybe it was because I was influenced by alcohol. Not the cheapest bar around. 5 shots were $80. They were delicious tho. I'm pretty sure they add gratuity to your check so watch for that. Good bar with solid music. read more

I've never wrote a positive review but I came in here to get a drink and someone was making me uncomfortable by just stating so aggressively so I walked out and DEVIN asked what happened and made sure I felt okay and addressed my concerns. He asked what he could do to make it right to he just directed me away from that person and made sure I got my free drink and a water as a female that meant so much to me. read more

I checked out The Jackelope on a Monday night and while it was really chill there was still a decent showing of people hanging at the bar. The servers were really fun, personable & spunky as you would expect. And the food - it lives up to the hype! My burger was mouthwateringly juicy and the waffle fries can give Chick-fil-A a run for their money! While hanging out on the dirty 6th is not for the faint of heart and feels like KISS and Sesame Street blew up in a meth lab - it's still rich with culture, life and leaves you with no question as to why they say "Austin is keeping it weird!" read more

Jackalope is always a good neighborhood hangout spot to either have a chill night or step it up a notch. This night for us was a chill night. They have pretty good food and are dog friendly. We played a game of Jenga outside with our dog and enjoyed a few drinks on a Monday night. If you don't know what you are going to have for dinner during the week I would recommend coming here to grab a bite to eat! read more

This bar is located on 6th street and is a solid stop to make on your bar crawl. The giant jackalope inside is very insta-friendly, they tell you to feel free to hop on and take a pic. Our bartender was really friendly and funny, and served us right away. He gave us a few suggestions, and we ordered drinks and a round of shots. They were all good and mid-priced. The only downfall was they didn't shake the pineapple chaser, so it was lukewarm. Overall, a solid and memorable bar experience! read more

The Jackalope - Burger - Dive Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

An Austin staple, stop for a drink and get a picture in the jackalope! Solid dive vibes and a good music selection.

The Jackalope in downtown Austin. It was a blast great drinks and it attracted great people. The food was even good, including the drinks. I would go back for sure, pretty cool atmosphere as well. When I went I had done research and everything. There are other places to go to but, this was the best for a Sunday. I arrived just a bit before happy hour and enjoyed myself. I had the Jackalope burger and it was plenary to eat. With the toppings I didn't even need anything else. I usually get honey mustard and mayo, I didn't need it but, I did put mayo on it. There were plenty of pickles and the burger meat was tasty. I had a frozen margarita, the frozen was out after that and I switched to a hibiscus margarita. I know your thinking hibiscus flower, yea it was even pretty like the flower. I also had the huge Heldarado as well. Man let me tell you now have a few people would help you finish but it was good. It was just great company we had fun there I met a couple cool people there and it was rememberable. It's kind of what we are looking for when we go out to eat or something. The server was good even when they switched out for shifts, the only thing I will get you don't want us they could use a few more extra service. Great experience I definitely go back. read more

Oooooh, weeeee, did this place have some amazing burgers and fries! We stopped here after a long night of drinking in serious need of food and hydration. I'm pretty sure someone told us earlier in the evening that Jackalope had good burgers. It's a great building, right on the 6th street strip. Great decoration throughout the bar. I only wish I'd taken more pictures. Service was fast and quick, but no frills. We chose a hi top right next to the bar and walked up to order. Our burgers and fries were ready in about 10 minutes or so. I'm not sure if it was the time, or the place, or just how desperately I needed to eat, but this was one of the best burgers I have ever had! I don't even remember what type of burger it was. I know it had bacon and cheese and lots of French fries. My wife chose a "healthier " type of burger. She thoroughly enjoyed hers as well. Anyway, we ate like it was our last meal on earth and walked the few blocks back to our hotel full and happy. If you are visiting Austin and want an incredible burger, stop in at the Jackalope. You will not be disappointed. read more

Omg the BUGER was such a surprise. My BF and I came by to play some darks and have a drink before a show at Emos and the drinks were amazing.

Holy poo this is absolutely hand down, no questions asked my favorite bar in Austin! In fact it's in my top two. That's right, top two. I just love everything about this place. It's on Sixth and sure it gets the tourists in but it's definitely a hang out for regulars. Because we have family in Austin, we're here often. If it were in Pittsburgh it would definitely be one of my locals. The beer selection is fabulous and so are the prices. The crowd is cool and fun. The Mac and Cheese Burger is so freaking good and yummy and big! Definitely shared it with the boyfriend. My favorite cocktail is The Jezebel. It's tasty and refreshing. Dive bar personified! read more

A great spot to grab a few drinks with friends while exploring 6th street. Dj on site playing hits and lots of room to dance, even a Jackalope in the middle of the dance floor to give a ride. The bartenders were very attentive and the drinks were strong and flavorful! read more

Trevor the manager is a badass. Drinks are great and affordable. Energy and customer service was unmatched

First place we went to when we got to Austin and I was not disappointed! This place is actually really cool. We heard the music outside while walking down 6th street and so I figured we should stop here first. Food/Drink- I had a whiskey sour and at first, there was way too much simple syrup and not enough whiskey so I asked that there please be more alcohol and after I asked, every drink I got was delicious! They make really good drinks and take your request in to consideration! I also got mild buffalo wings with the hot sauce on the side. The wings were really juicy and a great size! They weren't as crispy as I normally like but they weren't dry or anything and the sauce flavor was really good. If you like hot sauce, get the 2nd hottest because honestly, the mild even has a kick but is really good. Customer Service/Atmosphere - They have really good customer service here. The bartender was really nice and everyone seemed pretty happy/chill. We didn't have to wait long for drinks and the fact that they added more whisky to my drink upon request, was great. When we were leaving, I accidentally left my phone at the table and one of the bartenders actually chased us to get me my phone back which I thought was awesome and I was super thankful for that. It's a super low key vibe here with good music that's pretty loud, so it's fun to get up and dance to. I would definitely come back here and it was a great introduction to 6th Street read more

It's your typical dive bar. Decent drinks, good crowd, good music. Didn't feel like it was worth the hype or the reviews. There were better ones out there on 6th street that were better. It mainly depends on the vibe you are looking for read more

We're from out of town and stopped in Friday night before a concert at the ACL. We sat at the bar and the young lady with the Bart Simpson/Misfits logo tattoo was super awesome, helpful and funny! Great chatting with her and really great service. We ordered a couple slices of pizza from the pizza shop and after a few moments the young man with dreadlocks approached us and apologized. He burnt the pizza! No big deal we said. We have plenty of booze! Plus we work in service and know that shit happens! A few minutes later, the gentleman returned with the pizza and it was even better than expected! He really went the extra mile and took super awesome care of us. Love Love Loved the pizza. Loved the Jackalope and had a blast. Really liked everyone we meet there and would go again on the next trip to Austin! Thanks guys for going above and beyond. Damn. Now I'm craving pizza again!!! read more

The Jackalope - Dive Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Because I tend to avoid Dirty 6th like the tourist, frat, "woo girl" infested plague that it is, it was no surprise that I had never been to the Jackalope before. But, on a very lovely Sunday afternoon and after several previously consumed drinks, I was talked into going here. I have to say, after my experience (and for the huge, mountable jackalope alone) I would make this place an exception to the my "I don't do Dirty" rule and come back (on a Sunday afternoon). The drinks here are not the overpriced watered down BS that are the standard on D6, but were actually perfectly boozy! The crowd was also not just the D6 usual suspects, but a nice mix of tourists and locals as well. And though there were games on the tvs, and people were talking and laughing, it was still pretty chill enough to have an actual conversation. But, this might just be the fact that it was a Sunday afternoon...I am not quite sure. What made it such a great intro and experience, though, was hands-down the bartender, Riley! Aside from being absolutely adorable, this guy knows his stuff and has a stiff pour! So the next time I am in the vicinity and I see Riley behind the bar, I will definitely pop back in to reclaim a seat on the Jackalope throne. read more
