The Tavern is one of the oldest establishments that Austin has to offer both patrons and visitors alike. Located at 12th and Lamar, this historic Austin eatery and bar (which apparently has ties to groceries and prostitution) has become one of Austin's #1 sports bars.
While I am not the biggest sports fan, and not really a fan of downtown Austin bars, I go there every Thursday with a core unit of friends, vegeatarians and carnivores alike, and enjoy the specials. These Thursday specials include .40 cent White Wings (small pieces of chicken stuffed with jalepenos, wrapped in bacon, and then cooked to perfection in wing sauce) which our table usually eats until physical sickness is a mere bite away as well as $1.50 off pitchers to help sooth the heat of the wings.
We try to ignore the typically frat-tastic clientele that shout and slosh around us and sit back and enjoy the good food, drinks and company. Although the draw for most of us on Thursday night is the dirt cheap wings, there are always a few herbivores at the table that just like the social atmosphere that the Tavern provides. Whether or not you are a sports fan, a foodie (well maybe not a foodie) or a fan of good drinks, the Tavern provides a place for people to enjoy themselves. And at the heart of Austin, isn't that what this city is all about?
