  • 5/5 La G. 4 years ago on Google
    This spot is a little slice of dive bar heaven. I like The Eastern for a cycling stop on a weekend afternoon. The bar staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they often have fun, quirky events. What The Eastern lacks in space, it makes up for in character. Truly one of the last east side gems reminiscent of Austin pre-tech bro boom.

    Best thing about this place is the cheap drinks. It's a great place on east sixth for dancing. My tip is to go to the hip-hop night on Friday early, start your night there. Also, there's usually a second bar set up near the dance area, go there. There's never a long line. It gets too crowded for my taste as the night wears on, especially the line for the bathroom, ugh.

    The grungiest spot on the East side. Dance floor like your living room but with crappier furniture. Might be a leak in the roof over the bar... pretty sure. Nothing-special outdoor seating area and a cool little side bar. Best thing about this place is the unisex bathroom so when your friends walk out of it you can pass them as you go in muttering "They just let anyone go in there I guess..".

    Awesome bar of east 6th st. Cool setup, interesting history. (Hint, there's something worth seeing in the bathroom) Friendly bar staff. Great selection of beer and liquor. House cocktails are great, tried all of them and enjoyed them all. Absolutley worth going and you'll be glad you did!

    Awesome dance bar. One of the best bars in Austin, Texas (not just East Austin). Great dance room but also awesome patio space. Bathroom is pretty bad but hey what do you expect.

    Definitely an East Austin spot where all the cool kids hang out. I liked the music selection here-- good mix of alternative, hip hop, and throwback jams. The drinks were average-- nothing special, but the atmosphere is great for striking up a conversation with someone you don't know. Recommended if you are planning an East Austin bar crawl!

    It maybe a little hipster but I love the feel. The hip hop nights on Friday are a great change on the weekends! Great cheap drinks as well. The 40 and a movie nights are a great pick me up during the work week too.
