The Liberty

The Liberty is a long-running dive bar on East 6th Street in Austin, one of the older bars on a stretch of the street now dominated by newer nightlife. It keeps a relaxed, unpolished feel, with pool tables inside and a backyard-style patio filled with picnic tables out back. A food truck parked behind the bar handles the kitchen duties, and the peppered beef pies it turns out have built a local following. The bar is dog-friendly and known for cheap happy hour drink specials, making it a low-key stop for a beer or a game of pool off the main 6th Street crowd.
