Bars & Saloons
Hudson Tavern
5000 Hudson Bend Rd, Austin, TX
Hudson Tavern is a sports bar in the Hudson Bend area near Lake Travis, occupying the space that was formerly Frog's Pool Hall before a full renovation gave it a cleaner, more upscale tavern feel. Its walls are lined with televisions for catching games, and the bar runs a rotating lineup of karaoke, poker, and music bingo nights through the week.
The full bar and outdoor dining area give riders a place to unwind after a run along nearby Lake Travis roads like Ranch Road 620, and the neighborhood setting in Lakeway keeps things low key compared to downtown Austin's bar scene. Free Wi-Fi and an easygoing crowd make it a comfortable stop for a break between rides.
