If you want to be hit on by old men at the bar and smoke a joint on the back deck, then this is your place.

Best "At Home LONG HORNS Bar" in Austin – The owner put some bucks into this place recently - no more red dingy, dirty carpet - all new wood flooring, including the dance floor - if you are a Long Horn fan this is your place! The walls are bleeding Orange and the Horns are on the wall! The deck outside has benches and heaters when needed and smoking is allowed outside.

Where everybody knows your name..... – If you want to go to a place where they will remember you after about 5 visits, then go to the Parmer Lane Tavern (PLT for short).

This is a great bar for a bunch of reasons, but the Texas Hold-em table is one of the best. OK so until our Texas government comes to it's senses you can't play for money, but here you can have a lot of fun playing and it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. The professional dealers Wed thru Sat make it a fun upbeat game. Drink prices here are about the same as other bars and the wait staff has really improved with some recent new additions..

Weak – Very disappointing bartenders. Not good looking at all with attitiude. Drinks over-priced and clientel seem to be idiots. For pretty girls and service, go somewhere else. To avoid the dregs, go somewhere else.
