Oilcan Harry's
Popular with the younger crowd from the local universities. Check out their website to see specials and when the go-go boys are there. It's right next door to Rain and near three other Warehouse District gay bars, making hopping a breeze.

Best All-Around Gay Bar in Austin
I have grown up in Austin, and I have to honestly say, Oilcan's is among if not the best gay bar in Austin. Check it out, and Rain is next door!
THE Standard in Austin.
When in Austin, this is THE bar to stop in and see. Bartenders are quick and cute, reasonable prices, good mix of people. They have also put some $$ into a remodel. The people here are friendly and it's a nice spot to end your night!
LOVE IT
great place...lots of hot people, WONDERFUL staff, great place to hang! I recommend it to anyone in the area!
Most Popular
Oilcan's is probably the most popular gay bar in town. The crowd is youngish-mixed age. Some remodeling has upgraded the space. Music is good and the location is prime for downtown pub crawling. Bartenders are above-average in skill and looks. The place rocks all weekend, even when students are out-of-town.
OK
This is most likely the nicest bar in town but the decor is out dated expose brick and the like..you would think in a town as super trendy as Austin the Gay bars would reflect that....but no almost all the bars have dirty basement floors and little or no innovation.....
