Barrel O' Fun

Barrel O' Fun is a carnival-themed bar built into the ground floor of the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin's Mueller neighborhood. By day it runs as a family-friendly hall with a vintage boardwalk feel, complete with a soda fountain and carnival games; in the evening the games fold away and the space reopens as a full bar with roughly forty-five beer taps. The drink list emphasizes barrel-aged spirits and craft cocktails alongside a full food menu served from opening until close, and the venue hosts live music, comedy, and a weekly Sunday-evening trivia league on its small stage. It sits at 1911 Aldrich Street inside the Mueller development, a short ride from the rest of that neighborhood's shops and restaurants.
