If you enjoy discovering dimly lit dives then do visit if not their are plenty of similar bars around downtown. Snake and Jakes has been around since the 1940s. It's Christmas themed sort of. It's not Lalas here in Austin but its AOK. One of our folks said it's a cross between Lalas and Deep Eddy's. I agree. From what we read and heard from our ride share driver (more to this story later) it gets really busy late at night. Drinks are very reasonable and there is a good selection of local and all time favorite beer. If the dimly lit bar ain't your thing there's a large outdoor patio. Side bar: We convinced our driver to join us for a cocktail and she did. Yes, she was done driving for the day. Good times!

What you will notice is the thing that is most exciting about this place isn't the ghost stories, not the drinks, not the staff, but it is the bathroom door. Yep, the bathroom door. Here it is, and it looks like a bookshelf. You can see about the 3rd row down, there is a space where you can see a stick figure sideways, and that is the handle to the bathroom. Pretty cute. Had to use the bathroom here and it was a wrap and on to the next spot. Of course we tried the drinks, but it was a pretty basic bar, so nothing more to brag about there.

Happy hour prices were a whole $1 off regular-priced drinks -- and considering the regular prices were already delightfully low, that's basically like getting paid to drink. (Okay, not really, but you get my point.) Wendy was our bar mistress, and let me tell you -- she was a gem. Attentive, quick with a refill, and serving with a smile like she'd been doing this since the dawn of cocktails. The vibe was classic dive -- a mix of locals holding down their usual spots, some questionable neon signs, and that faint yet oddly comforting smell of stale beer mixed with a hint of nostalgia. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I make this my regular spot if I lived closer? Without a doubt. This place is the dive bar blueprint -- no frills, just good drinks, chill vibes, and the sweet hum of an overworked A/C.

Had a rough experience here this week with Lynn…read more Very emotionally disregulated bartender that seems to hate her life. David was amazing. Fantastic bartender. Tipped him literally 100% because he deserved it and her 0% because she deserved it. Went back this morning to talk to the young lady working and leave the owner my number and would love to discuss. My mom lives across the street so it's not like I'm just some A hole passing through and I was also a bartender for 5 years myself before becoming a nurse and then a nurse practitioner. I would never treat a patient nor a patron how I was treated by Lynn this week. Great bar, shameful service by Lynn. All the other bartenders I've encountered were amazing but she's a cancer on this place in my limited experience with her on two separate days. Dave, you rock. Will update review once I hear back from owner who I met the other night but didn't discuss because I hadn't had the second experience with Lynn yet. I HATE leaving negative reviews as I'm sure you can tell by my review history but this woman has definitely gotten me out of my character and I apologize.

I stop here every trip to New Orleans and before I know it my whole afternoon is gone. Very basic alcohol selection with a few craft beers. They prefer cash but they do take card now. I pay cash because we are having one more and moving on. Never happens. I think we were here 3 hours last trip. Such friendly staff and patrons. Watching football n chopping it up. We probably spent maybe $30 drinking the Saturday afternoon away, made new friends. No food here so we end up leaving when we start starving and then end up coming back for a nightcap. Don't let the hole in wall appearance fool you. Worth the stop on your next trip.

The early morning crowd are a bit rowdy, but the hip-hop music is always bumping so I just go with the groove as I walk on by towards the Mississippi for a run. I finally decided to drop in on a Friday afternoon for a drink. The bartender was an absolute sweetheart, and he was playing some killer '80s tunes in honor of Southern Decadence. I soaked it all up while admiring the funky décor, which included an homage to Johnny White's, a crow in a top hat, a Voodoo King Doll, and dollar bills on the wall. Happy Hour is daily from 8 am - 3 pm with $5 drink specials. I ordered the Lavender Lemonade - a happy hour special. It was tasty and refreshing. I regret that it took me so long to come here.
