Your A-List: Best Place You Can Still Smoke
The smoking ban means fewer cloudy bars that leave you smelling like an ashtray in the morning, but smokers have not been completely run out of the city. There are still a number of bars with patios that allow you to light up, and even a few places where you can still getaway with an indoor cig.
The winner of the Your A-List poll for best place where you can still indulge your nicotine addiction is G&S Lounge. One of South Austin’s best dive bars took home 47 percent of the vote and offers a back patio for the nicotine-inclined. Even though it backs up to a parking lot and offers no views, the back area is still popular at the bar that feels kinda like a clubhouse for drinkers, replete with video games, air hockey and one of the finest beer selections in town, not to mention refrigerators packed with cold mugs.
