Barfly's Austin Reviews
It’s been years since I frequented this bar. Last Saturday proved it’s just as cool. GREAT music on the jukebox.
My favorite dive bar in Austin! Stop by on a Friday and say hi to Marcos!!
Good drinks, nice space, good food… no complaints.
This is a classic dive bar. Bartenders I used to work with first me brought me here. After my boyfriend decided Knomad and Busty’s were not the right bar for him, Barfly’s was my first recommendation. He came here and was given a great welcoming with Jesse as the bartender. Think of Norm walking into Cheers, that’s how he felt on his first visit. The cincher was seeing our favorite Plucker’s bartender, Jeremy, walk behind the Barfly’s bar. We did a double take, looked at one another, and asked “is that our bartender?!?!” And it was. So now my boyfriend is their newest regular which means that I will probably end up here pretty often.
Barfly's has been the same little dive bar for at least 15 years. Still decent pours and reasonable prices. Get a beer and a shot or something easy and sit with your friends. Not much else to it. Has 3 pool tables if you feel like it.
An apt review I saw online that led me to this place: Barfly's is an intimate North Austin dive that is treasured for its cheap drinks, friendly staff, and an impressively robust jukebox. In between trying your luck at foosball, pool, & relaxing on their patio, take some time to play one of their many album choices. Just watch your step on their super steep stairs on the way out!
The bartender is a really kind guy. My friends were first time customers but were treated as a regular. Absolutely above and beyond!
Barfly’s: cheap drinks, punk vibes, zero attitude. A true neighborhood hangout with pool, foosball, old movies playing on the TV, and the kind of dive bar energy that keeps you coming back.
I was in Austin for 2 days and ended my evenings here both nights, that’s how much I liked this spot. Classic dive bar vibes, in the absolute best way! Cold beer, fantastic prices and the owner provided impeccable service behind the bar. Cozy environment but still lively enough to be exciting - will be back the next time I’m in town for sure.
Barflys is my favorite dive bar since Hard Luck Lounge closed. It's definitely not fancy, but the music is great, the people are mostly chill locals, the bartenders are friendly and helpful, specials are good, and they have plenty of pool tables (dive bar must-have). We happened accidentally to be there for their 20th anniversary the other night, and they gave everyone shots of something out of a spare gas can (I asked the guy pouring what it was and he said "I didn't make it" 😂) but it was actually pretty good and went perfectly well with my Lonestar and it was hilarious to watch him walk around with it. It is largely indoors, but there is some decent outdoor seating, and everyone was masked up. I'm not that far north often, but I absolutely love stopping in when I am! Definitely give it a go!!
The stairway to nirvana known as Barfly's is the brightest gem in Austin. The drinks are poured generously, the beers are ice cold, and the prices are great. The jukebox is packed with great tunes, as well. There is consistently great service and the staff is super friendly. Proud to call this my neighborhood bar, and its servers my friends.
Been coming here over the last seventeen years or so. Now a little less but hey. Some nice times. Some less nice times. It’s a dive bar. Couple pool tables. Outdoor area.
Never did I think me wearing Sherpa lined hey dudes would be the straightest person in there! Everyone was friendly and very nice. If you like the an eclectic range of friendly people and personalities this is the place to be.
Cool little spot with a few pool tables and a practically non-existent bar. Felt very trendy/hipster to my OG brain so I went downstairs and had a great time at Golden Horn.
They scammed me out of money. Paid for a drink that was $4. Was never given a receipt to sign (I was never asked if I wanted to keep the tab open or closed by the way) and then I check my bank account to see a charge of $6.50. Instead of just relying on honest tips, they’d rather keep the receipt and then charge your card extra. Wonder how long they’ve been getting away with this. Always check your bank account after coming here!!!
