The lights are on out on 183.
A neighborhood bar on Austin's south edge: ice-cold buckets, the game on every screen, live music on the little stage and a seat at the bar with your name on it.
“Great bar where few bars are around. Owner is a good guy. Recommend checking it out.”

Sat & Sun 12 PM–2 AM
The room
One long bar. A screen in every sightline.
Inside it's bright, clean and loud in the right way: a white bar that runs the length of the room, TVs over every seat, neon on the back wall and a Golden Tee machine for settling arguments. Karaoke nights, live music, cold drinks at prices that keep regulars regular, and everyone's welcome: The 183 is LGBTQ+ friendly. Come for one after work, stay for the fourth quarter.
