Any good dive bars in/close to the Arboretum area?

[NipLover]

The Hideout is a great bar, but not even close to being a biker bar. It is owned by the same people that ran the Pour House. It is my local neighborhood stomping ground. Great food, bartenders and (most importantly) cheap drinks! It is my go-to hangout, when I want to stick close to home. Not much of a pickup bar, though.

The bars on Burnet are great. Buddys is a cool redneck bar with a "Jocko" lawn jockey! Lalas is cool but way overpriced. The Poodle Dog is really divey! Its rarely busy. The Pour House is cheap, full bar, has a lot of girls and a big outdoor area for smokers. Food is available as well.

Texas Bar & Grill is just North of the Arboretum on Burnet. It is a live music venue and has lots of pool tables. A smokers place, I think. But, I've not been there in a while because of the smoke. In the past, there would be a pretty good mixed weekday happy-hour crowd from Dell, HP and some of the other big places in the area.

I like ur attitude kitty. Might have to visit some day...

nice place, cool people, relaxed atmosphere, HUGE patio. Drinks are pricey though, be warned. I don't like paying more than $3 for a drink when I can buy a bottle for $15! CHEAP ass!!!!

seeing all of these places makes me want to go out and have a drink, thanks for the list!

Thanks for reminding me Trees! I haven't been to Barfly in a year or so. It's right above Burger Tex. Need to stop by and have a few before long.

I know Pour House closed, did Barflys close as well? Owned by the same folks I believe.

I am always down for dive bars. Hard to beat the Roadhouse in Round Rock for pure dive bar goodness... but don't pretend to be a biker if you aren't one!

Don't have to pretend anything there. Just be yourself and you'll be fine.
