Saxon Pub 1320 South Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TX 78704

"I’m from here and have been going to this spot for decades and it’s always been a great vibe. Went to see Walt Wilkins last night and it was an awesome show but the bartender… I watched her make an espresso martini with a wad of cash clutched in her hand, rubbing it all of the rim and inside the glass as she swirled chocolate syrup in it. When I gently told her what was happening, she started yelling and said I was lying. Major attitude for something so simple. It wasn’t even busy, why so sloppy and rude??"

"So I'm an original austinite, and yes, this was my first time here, sad to say. I'm glad I finally made it in to see what they have to offer. It was a great experience. I love all types of music, and these women were amazing. I would definitely like to come back and hear more musicians play here. I'm not a drinker, but I do like to try new drinks, so I did have one while here it was perfect, not too sweet or too strong. I even got to take my cup home with me as a momento. Thanks to my hiking group and their socials, I was able to experience this place and the amazing musicians that play here. Oh, they have this wonderful food truck in the parking lot where you can order at your table, and they will bring your order to you. I had the crinkle cut fries, a pizza pocket, and the fritoe pie so delicious. I want to try the hot dos next time."

"They allow and encourage patrons to block the sidewalk. This venue actively makes the streets less safe for pedestrians and the city less accessible for anyone with mobility issues. There are cars blocking the sidewalk every night. Saxon Pub doesnt do anything to stop their patrons from blocking the sidewalk like their response to my review says. Don’t support business that make the city less safe especially for people with disabilities."

"We loved this Austin music venue. It is definitely small but the bartenders and music were great! It would be nice if they had greater food options. The only thing available was a hot dog truck the night we went. If you are seeing a show, make sure to arrive early. Seating is limited. Otherwise you might have to stand by the bar."

"One of the last great Austin venues. The kind of place you'd lay down in front of a bulldozer to save from development. More than fair prices (cheap, you may say) and well ran. Great place to discover new artists. Had another great night Saturday getting to see the Eric Tessmer Band for the 10pm show."
