The Jackalope

The Jackalope is a dive bar and restaurant at 404 East Sixth Street in downtown Austin, open since 2004 on the historic Sixth Street strip. The bar is known for a giant fiberglass jackalope mounted inside, large enough to sit on, along with a collection of black velvet art covering the walls. The kitchen and adjoining Pizza Joint serve burgers and beer-crust pizza from an open-flame oven from 11 a.m. into the late night, seven days a week, with vegetarian options on the menu. Its address places it in the middle of the Sixth Street entertainment district, making it an easy stop for a rider working through downtown Austin's bar strip.
