CLOSED: Emo's

Emo's Austin, Austin's best small venue for live music, is located just off 6th Street on Red River. On any given night, you will find some of the best bands and the most colorful staff an patrons in all of Austin sitting at our bar. And don't let the doormen scare you -- some of them are really nice guys (it says so in the women's bathroom).

Emo's sports two stages, one inside and one outside (some nights, we even have shows going on both at the same time); a beer garden for when you can't, or just don't want to, make your way through the crowd to the stage; and (most importantly), a bar not too far from wherever you might situate yourself. All shows are all ages, unless otherwise noted. Only those 21 years of age or older, of course, may partake of alcoholic beverages. People of any age can tip the bartenders, though.
