Fodor's Expert Review Shakespeare's Pub
Downtown with Sixth Street and Rainey Street
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
One of historic 6th Street's lively pubs, with friendly waitstaff and an outdoor patio, Shakespeare's is a laid back yet hard drinking watering hole. As with most downtown bars, it will be filled with live music throughout SXSW but you can also see bands year round on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights (8 to 10:30 pm) on the outside deck.
