Backstage bar has $ 1 domestic and $ 2 all import beer every Sunday-Thursday! Plus free pool and ping pong! Sometimes they have live music but the juke box is excellent and the bartenders are very friendly and outgoing. And dogs are welcome!

Its a nice change from West 6th Fist Pumping Clubs that charge 12 bucks for a Vodka Redbull… Jukebox has good music… Bartenders are down to earth and lack any attire consisting of Ed Hardy or Affliction. If you like ping pong they definitely have the best table in town with plenty of room to make your Jedi paddle moves… if youre in the service industry. let the bartenders know… theyre pretty awesome about it… When there are shows the prices do go up… but thats consistent with any other venue in the area… so during the week… I say check it out… Nice Local Dive bar thats a West 6th Secret…

This bar ain’t bad. It’s the best place to be when the band that’s opening next door at La Zona Rosa isn’t up to your standards. There are TV’s and couches and a pool table. There is also a better selection at the bar then there is next door. My problem is that the raise their prices when there are events in the club. It doesn’t surprise me seeing that this is owned by a low grade operation like Direct Events. They’ll try to squeeze every last dollar out of you pocket before the night is through.

This place is no good. Left my card open over night and came back to pick it up with a close out fee over 25% ! Looks like they arent long for this world if they are looking to take advantage of customers like that. My recommendation: NEXT!

More bars need to put in ping pong tables. Luckily, the Backstage Bar has already accomplished this noble feat. Mind you, they are not always pulled out because of shows next door at La Zona Rosa, but if you go on a night when there is not a show at LZR you can probably play some ping pong. This is truly a hidden gem in the downtown Austin nightlife scene. The people that come here to drink are of the variety that like to fist fight and fuck.
