I wanted to listen to some local music while on travel in Austin and a coworker of mine suggested the Saxon Pub. I asked what kind of music they had there and she said that they always had good bands. I was not disappointed. The South Austin Moonlighters were the attraction for the night and what a tight band they... More

The Saxon Pub is a great place to hear live music in the live music capitol of the world; the crowd tends to be of mixed ages, unlike a lot of the places on 6th St, which tend to cater to the under 30 crowd. The Saxon has seating, and offers free music almost every night from 6PM-8PM, with some... More

Reminiscent of the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, this pub has terrific music. The waitstaff are a bit overextended so you may have to 1)wait for your drink or 2)get off your lazy butt and go to the bar. Arrive early for best choice of seats. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Austin who enjoys music.

When my tourist guidebook said that this place was where musicians in Austin go to here great live local music themselves, I just knew I had to check it out! From the outside it looks like just an ordinary neighborhood pub that could be in any strip mall in any city in America. But in Austin, they really and truly... More
