Knomad Bar

I've been coming here for the last few years and have never written a review. Guess I was busy having fun.I dig this spot because it's truly a local, neighborhood bar. No frills but it's clean and comfortable with a nice deck.Great beer and cocktail selection.Friendly service.

Popped in for a drink and remote work since I had a meeting nearby and wanted to beat traffic. I WISH I LIVED CLOSER!!!! The bartender was so friendly and the others at the bar were so kind. We were all guessing Jeopardy together lol Divey and inviting. They all were showing my dog love too he felt so welcome. Can't wait to go back!

I love dive bars but this place sucks. One bartender just wanted to hang out with his friends, and the other seemed to be having some sort of mentalBreakdown. It took forever to get any type of service. And both bartenders were rude. It's not my fault you're old a work at a dim bar that smells like vomit and has poor music choice.

I only go on mondays when they have $1 modelos. AC works. Good music. Can't complain.

Local dive bar in Windsor Park. Good drink selection for being a dive bar, but the beers are definitely more expensive than they should be for the place. Staff/Service is OK. Not bad or goodBeen here multiple times and enjoy going, but it's nothing special. And if that is what you are looking for, this is a great spot

Knomad is a neighborhood bar that occasionally offers live music indoors, which is why we visited, to see a couple of bands we like. It seems like a hot spot for the local hip millennial crowd with a few Gen-Xers (like me) mixed in. They offer a full bar and sometimes have food trucks. The latter were not there when we visited, so I can't comment on the culinary fare. It's a long, narrow space with a few tables, bar stools, and booths, with the stage at the back. The patio has a secluded feeling, since it's not only covered, but virtually enclosed with high lattice work barriers that separate it from the parking lot. It includes multiple tables, a TV, and speakers, though the speakers are connected to the bar's internal sound system and not the stage. So if you sit outside, you won't hear whatever live music may be happening. If you smoke, you'll be happy to hear that the entire patio seems to be a smoking section. If you don't (like me), you'll be disappointed to hear that the mounted fans don't clear the air past the patio enclosures, so the back patio will be reminiscent of what bars used to smell like in Austin before the indoor smoking ban. Parking is free in their attached lot, but it may fill up fast when the club does. Knomad was pretty full with small groups of chatty folks the night we visited. Overall, a decent club that you may love or not, depending on what you're looking for. IMO it beats the circus bar up the street. 3-1/2 stars

Been to Knomad 10+ times and I always feel like an outsider here. It's like no one wants to serve you and when they do it's for a draft beer that is priced $2 more than what it should be. I've never gotten the feeling of being welcomed here, but quite the opposite like I'm not supposed to be there and I'm inconveniencing them. It's a really weird feeling when you're paying for a service.

This is a proper dive that has a lot of old Austin flavor. The Saturday crowd is full of eclectic individuals that are super friendly and fun to talk to. First Saturdays have Kareoke Underground and it's a ton of fun. The staff is cool, even though they have to deal with some pretty drunk asshats, which they stop serving, and rightfully so. Fun place if you're a fun person. Not for the yuppies that's for sure.

I have been a patron at Knomad Bar for several years. After last nights interaction with the entertainment, THE KARAOKE UNDERGROUND, I will not be going back. The "DJ" is rude, inconsiderate, condescending and just a general horrible person. I was there with friends like I usually do on Saturday nights. The "DJ" was playing the music so loud that you could not hear the person sitting next to you at the back of the bar! I went to the "DJ" and asked him to turn it down a bit so people could at least talk a bit. His response was "It's rock and roll, and if it's too loud too fucking bad." and proceeded to turn the music up even louder. After the interaction, I walked over, paid my bill and left. To the owner of Knomad Bar, this "DJ" is costing you more money than they are bringing in. They run customers out of the bar and some will probably not come back because of the "DJ".

Terrible. Watered down cokes, we interacted with one employee who was nice. The building is dirty. Cockroaches crawling around on the floor. The best part were the patrons. They were fun. Of course there are fun patrons all over Austin. The main upset was we were there on New Year's Eve, and realized the owner of the bar, Miguel Jimenez, was spraying a foamy substance all over our car in the parking lot right after midnight. Fireworks were being shot off the back of our car. When my husband asked him to stop, he began to curse at my husband. It was a shameful display of disrespectful behavior towards your patrons. Our car wasn't the only one that was trashed out. We had to leave to try to find a place to wash our car. After inspecting our car we found chips in the paint. Not a good way to start off the New Year.
