123 Best Bars in Texas, USA

Cowtown's best Western-style watering hole may be the White Elephant Saloon, a legendary Wild West bar with live country music seven nights a week.

You don't have to bring a dog to be a patron at Austin's first hybrid restaurant, bar, and dog-park, off Burnet Road. The shaded outdoor patio is a great place to people- and puppy-watch while you chow down on sliders and fries served at the on-site Fat City walk-up window. Find several local beers on draft here, too, plus seasonal cocktails and cheap tall boys.

Set in a 1930s service station, Zellick’s Icehouse features plenty of modern touches like craft beer, cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juices, and a food truck serving burgers, tacos, and more. The rustic interior is certainly a draw, but so is the spacious exterior, which wraps around the building with plenty of space for groups, live music, and other fun events.
