Music is so amazing- went three nights in a row. Bartenders however, worst I have ever seen. They keep your card if you open a tab and two nights they lost it. Third night the bartender was so rude and untrained that she had no business behind a bar. My advice, bring your own booze. Lol More

Super cute and big bar with a stage for live performances! Really love the setup - lots of tables and dancing space. The audio system was pretty great for the live performance as well. I saw a punk rock band play here with a violinist - cool alternative type sound, which was cool! More

Sixth street how you’ve declined so quickly. Once full of live music every afternoon and night, now DJs, hip hop and not a musician in sight. If you still want to see actual musicians playing blues and rock, look no further. Friends is your spot. Great bartenders and no cover.

  • EG Zles

The bands here NEVER disappoint! It doesn't matter the day of the week. Weekdays are usually not very busy. There is a food truck/snack bar inside. I am not quite sure on the hours. It is open, but the one time we have eaten there. The food is pretty good. More

Fun & talented live music drew us to this bar and we stayed for the great drinks and awesome hospitality. This bar was really awesome and made a great impression on us! We will look forward to coming back here when we come back for a visit to Austin! More

Ended up here after some bar hopping and saw a great live show, the best on 6th on this concrete evening in our humble opinion. The band was called Lucas Johnson and it was a three piece but they were mind blowing and the singer had a great

  • Kris Buggenhout

nice bar with occasionally good music, too bad the bouncers have such a bad attitude, throwing people out for enjoying the music under the false pretense of judging them to be drunk. roughly pushing patrons out for no good reason. I will

  • Hanna Hurst

Overpriced cocktails, tacos from the quasi food truck in the back were dry, salty, and overall lacking and the guys working back there were uninterested in even preparing the food. The open sign was on but after going back there several

I liked the music. The voice of Erica and the good vibrations was fantastic. They perform every Sunday so be sure to check it out. It was my birthday and I just couldn't stop dancing. No cover, but please if you go tip the Bartender and

What a great spot to hang out with friends or make some new ones. We went for the live music, my cousin and his band were playing. A chill, relaxing vibe… and there’s a food truck built into the back of the bar.

  • Carlos G

Amazing blues bar. I was in Austin for 4 nights and I ended up here every night just to watch these dudes shred. Gary Clark Jr happen to be hangin out and got on stage for a song. It was incredible. More

  • Kelsie Bailey

✌I swung in there under the understanding I’d never been there, only to realize as I walked in… “Wait, yeah I have ..” I had a blast both times, perhaps too much the first time

  • S Smith

Good place for live music and tacos. FYI... I went back a second time and upgraded my review. One of my favorite spots we visited in Austin... the fish tacos are awesome!! More

  • Ika Balzam

Been waiting for over 30 minutes for churros, until I went to ask what's going on with it, just so they could let me know it's already cold because I didn't go to pick it up.

  • Gavin Coote

I fell in love with blues music here. The atmosphere is absolutely electric, and the musicians were out of this world. I was transfixed. Great drinks and great space More

  • Joseph Sapida

Solid rock band but GREAT blues band on a Sunday night with no cover. The queso was good but the chips are awesome(like wonton chips Texas style)

  • CR J

Friends bar for the first time. Came for the live music (tonight’s was Sunny Wolf). Great bar with good service, quality food, and great vibes.

  • Alice in wonderland

Bar to have beer and listen to music. The band is really good. Most are standing on feet to see the show. Even though there are a few tables :)

  • Carrie Mast

Love the Friends employees and the people that play there but it's always very loud so go there for music but not for a conversation. More
