San Jac Saloon

Matt and Cassie are super great at the bar. Drinks are reasonable and well poured. I was walking by and heard "Pablo" inside doing a solo acoustic set and dropped in for a listen. Great stuff, Pablo quit at 8pm and he joined a band that started back up at 9pm, but they were so loud I couldn't stay, literally so loud you had to shout to anyone right in their ear to be heard. Sorry guys, that is just too much and I already have hearing problems. Maybe back it down from 11 to a 9? I came back the next day to hear Meg Groves, who did some covers and original tunes, great stuff. The bar doesn't have food, but they encourage bringing in takeout, I grabbed a box from the happy chicks down the street. Nice place.

They have reasonably priced drinks for sith Street. The have live music, and an upstairs and downstairs bar. Also every Sunday they have a comedy open mic upstairs. I'd recommend going to that because they have 3 dollar lone stars. All the bartenders are cool But Cass is my favorite. Oh they don't serve food, but they let you bring in food.

The best bar in Austin by far. Seemed to be the only/one of the only ones still playing (good) live music and not a DJ. We stumbled in without doing research because it was near our hotel but ended up coming back 2 additional times. Brian is the best bartender I’ve ever met. Friendly and knowledgeable about the area, part of the reason we went back. The other bartenders were all nice as well. Definitely recommend coming here, can’t wait to come back.

With its swinging saloon doors and wooden interior, San Jac Saloon has a Western feel that is backed up by non-stop country music regularly showcased downstairs. I have a terrific time going to the Sunday comedy open mics at 7PM. I've been going for two years now and it's always a great environment and very friendly to experimenting with humor. Kassi has taken over for Steve as bartender—they always keep the vibe right no matter what. If you're ever feeling down on a Sunday night, San Jac is always there for you. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
