One of the coolest bars/venues in Austin. Check out "Greetings, from Queer Mountain" on the last Wednesday every month.

No thank you

Tried to talk to the owner and she blew me off like I was nothing. If a bar owner can't take time to say hello to the people who are supporting them then I don't need to patronize that place
