If alternative music is your thing, Emo's is one of the best places in Austin to experience it. Though it's the frequent haunt of the tattooed, dyed-hair set, Emo's position between the Sixth Street and Red River scenes has ensured a fairly diverse, not to mention, dense crowd of clubgoers. There are two stages, one indoor and one out, and a beer garden. The psychotic cartoon art and intimidating staff create a sort of classic punk-rock atmosphere, but at Emo's it's all about the music. And from hard-core to alt-country, Emo's has it all. It has played host over the years to such acts as the Jesus Lizard, Mudhoney, Tortoise and Don Walser (who used to do a weekly gig). Emo's was once famed for its cheap cover charges, but as the quality of the bands it books has risen, so has the price to get in.

    Emo's has always been one of the most affordable places to see a touring act in ATX, and the venue mixes in a good balance of local acts. Many nights two stages are offered. Emo's is a nationally know venue for many indie/alt/rock/punk/etc. shows. It's like TX's CBGBs.

    Liked everything about it except the snotty staff. Snottiness is just not Austin-style. If you want my $ lose your attitude.
