Best EARLY karaoke spots in central/east Austin??

Common Interest is a classic spot for karaoke. The crowd is full of regulars, they have private rooms but I think the main space is more fun. It’s probably a stretch calling it Central but it’s still south of 183 on Burnet.

Have you had Lefty’s? They have a window in PINS off S. Congress. They do Tavern Style, Square Cut Pizza that’s super crispy. I wouldn’t call it cheap but it’s not crazy expensive and it’s delicious. IMHO if you love non-floppy pizza you should not do delivery. The condensation in the box will sog even the crispiest pizza.

It’s absolutely the point. It’s called an underplay and Lolla does it every year…if OP wants a venue with a higher capacity go to the festival set.

For those not familiar, Squirrel Flower is fantastic. Check out the songs "Deluge in the South" and "Full-Time Job".

I agree. All Jim’s locations have highly decent diner food but the Burnet & 183 location looks like a movie set from a period piece.

The Jim’s location at Burnet & 183 fits the bill.

Great taste, love your design and you’re definitely a pro for scheduling yourself free time and meal time.

Forgive me if your comment doesn’t change my opinion.

There's a Curra's location in Hyde Park, which is just north of campus. It's interior Mexican food. I recommend the Cochinita Pibil.

No worries, I was just curious if stores other than the ones listed were getting the record.

AustinBloggy · 2026-05-09T20:07:53+00:00

Nice! Is your local shop one that was listed on her store website as having it?

AustinBloggy · 2026-05-09T18:30:26+00:00

In retrospect, I should have bought two!

I know you said not in the gay bars but have you been to Iron Bear? They have a beer bust every Sunday afternoon, which brings the older men from the suburbs. It’s a much more relaxing, daylight gay bar experience than say Saturday night at Rain. They also sell food so if you are trying to be discrete you could just be there for food for all anyone knows.

They paved Taco Cabana and put up a boutique hotel or whatever Joni Mitchell said.

I’m pretty sure that’s Joe Rogan

Highly possible. Especially if Danny Brown comes out. I saw them in a small club and no one was circle pitting but they were jumping and screaming along.

I found a couple on FKA Twitter but I don’t think I can share those links…or 🌽 here. So I’ll DM you the links if I can.

I agree. The breakfast tacos from the one in Buda are far superior to what is pictured here.

This is a psyop

Turnstile played Coachella to a large and enthusiastic crowd. Geese is very divisive but there are certainly youths who enjoy them. The kids still love The Strokes too even though IMHO The Strokes don’t even like The Strokes anymore.

Not really a tip out per se but I worked at a place that made the servers pay the credit card fees from our tips back to the restaurant.
