The Grackle

The Grackle is a whiskey-focused dive bar on East Sixth Street at 1700 E 6th Street in Austin, open daily from noon to 2 a.m. The bar is known for a deep selection of whiskeys and draft beers served in a dark, low-key interior with three dart boards, a pool table and a Ms. Pac-Man machine. A covered outdoor patio extends the space and is a regular spot for food trucks, including a well-regarded vegan truck typically parked outside. Its address on East Sixth Street places it within easy reach of the rest of the East Sixth bar strip for a rider stopping along that stretch.
