Your A-List: Best place to hear live music on a weeknight

The much lamented “bygone Austin” can be a bit irritating, but the fact of the matter is, there are still quite a few places that have exactly that vibe. One of them is the Saxon Pub, winner of this year’s Your A-List poll, with 36 percent of the vote.

The regulars at the Saxon are friendly even if they don’t know you, and there’s really no such thing as a stranger there. And with multiple bands playing seven days a week, you never have to worry about checking the calendar to see who’s playing. Every night you’re guaranteed to see some of the best singing and songwriting talents Austin has to offer, and who knows, show up on the right night and you just might find Bonnie Rait or some other international star on the stage, feeling just at home at the Saxon as one of the regulars sitting at the bar.

Others receiving votes: Continental Club 19 percent, Antone’s 12 percent, The Mohawk 9 percent, Cedar Street Courtyard 7 percent, Emo’s 6 percent, Ruta Maya 3 percent, Momo’s 3 percent, Beerland 2 percent, Flamingo Cantina 2 percent
