A new Panthers bar in town apparently got a big inflatable Sir Purr. First you had my curiosity, now you have my attention.

With 3 working holes and natural hip action...

[Fright]

Of course there's a Panther's bar there after I move....

Lived in Austin from 2016-20. Was the Alcohol, food and Bev manager for a large theater alliance on Congress Ave. Fought those arrogant, self absorbed Cowboys fans for four seasons. Wish this place was around then. Cool.

San Jacinto Bar tried to be a Panthers bar back during the Superbowl run and the season after. As Panthers fans tend to do, they gave up after the team was garbage that season.

I remember. I was there. It was very short lived. I think it was 6th and San Jacinto if memory serves.

Yep, I played a few gigs there too with a country singer. They lasted like 4 weeks as a Panthers bar before they gave up lol

San Jac gave up on us after 2016. There was a bar on W 6th that gave us a shot in 2017-2018, can’t remember the name, that kicked us to curb when Baker got hot with Cleveland

Can you give a honest take of Austin during your time there?

I've lived in San Diego, Omaha, Dallas, Tyler TX, and Austin. 

 

If not for the snow and over all crap for winters in Omaha, Austin would be my least favorite place I've lived. Severely overhyped and nothing warrants the influx of population. Housing prices have also sky rocketed all around the area. Wouldn't recommend unless you want to live in the Leftist most city in TX and like packed 6th street bars on the weekends or are an extreme Longhorns fan...

Ive heard simlar stories, plus heard the drugs issues are a HUGE problem now as well. My sister lives in New Braunfels and shes been trying to get me to visit. Pulling all the stops, thought about hitting Austin at the same time. 6th street is like bourbon street- pick pockets, piss, and vomit....

thanks for your honest input.

Yea the drugs are really a territorial thing, like most cities. I lived in North Austin and worked downtown, didn't see many meth zombies out. I was born in Gonzales.. been to New B a few times growing up. Austin definitely isn't a bad place to visit, just not live. San Antonio or Houston offer a better bang for the buck if you want to detour to a bigger city when visiting, though.   

 

No problem.

New Braunfels and Austin are very different places and well over an hour away from each other. 6th St is garbage. There's a ton of great places to go if you stay away from the obvious tourist spots.

You prefer Tyler TX over Austin?? Haha oh man that is hilarious, I was just there two weekends ago. Tyler sucks except for Stanley's BBQ.

I'm well aware, but Austin isn't worth visiting if he can venture further away. All there is in Austin are places to eat.. oh and a big over hyped music festival.

 

Yea, the crime rate is extremely low in Tyler and 5pm traffic doesn't last until 7pm. If your only concern is food, then sure, go to Austin lol

I'm going...just moved to Austin!
