Marfa Lights Bar

Marfa Lights Bar sits behind an unmarked door on West 6th Street in downtown Austin and opens into a polished honky tonk room styled after rural West Texas, complete with taxidermy and cowboy murals on the walls. The bar leans on whiskey, craft cocktails, and local beer, and its best known drink is the Dr Pickle, a mix of Dr Pepper, spiced rum, and a heap of pickles that has become a local favorite. A daily happy hour runs from 4 to 8 pm with discounted Busch Lights alongside the craft cocktail list, and the bar keeps a limited menu of bar snacks and small plates for anyone who needs to eat while they ride out the evening. For a rider working the West 6th Street strip, it is a low key alternative to the louder clubs nearby, with occasional whiskey tastings and live music nights.
