Your A-List, Best Neighborhood Hangout
One thing Austinites defend with their lives: Their neighborhood hangouts. These homes away from home usually lie within walking distance of work or domicile, and fit one’s personality like a broken-in boot. No need to switch clothes, by the way, these watering holes embody the Old Austin insistence on dressing down.
Several are located near the University of Texas campus, including No. 1 Crown and Anchor (18 percent of the vote); No. 5 Posse East (7 percent); No. 9 Spiderhouse (5 percent); No 12 Cain and Abel’s (3 percent); No. 13 Quack’s (3 percent) and No. 17 Rio Rita (1 percent).
The others are located in older Austin districts, central, but not quite next to UT. The list starts with No. 2 Billy’s on Burnet (13 percent); No. 3 Mean Eyed Cat (8 percent); No. 4 Doc’s (7 percent); No. 6 Pluckers (6 percent); No. 7 Deep Eddy Cabaret (6 percent); No. 8 Jo’s (5 percent); No. 10 Horseshoe Lounge (4 percent); No. 11 Hotel San Jose (4 percent); No. 14 Parmer Lane Tavern (2 percent); No. 15 Flipnoticcs (2 percent); No. 16 Longbranch Inn (2 percent); No. 18 Progress Coffe (1 percent), No. 19-22 Red’s Scoot Inn, Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse, Joe’s Bar and Grill and Peacock (all less than 1 percent).
