Long Play Lounge

Long Play Lounge is a converted house on West St. Johns Avenue in Austin, turned into a neighborhood bar and small live music venue built around craft beer, craft cocktails and a collection of more than 400 vinyl records. A rotating cocktail menu changes regularly, with an on-tap old fashioned as the standing reliable order. A string-lit, dog-friendly patio with picnic tables sits out back, while cozy indoor booths in the converted house keep the space usable year-round. It hosts live performances ranging from local bands to vinyl DJ sets, making it a solid detour for a rider looking for a low-key, music-focused stop off the main Austin bar strips.
