The Liberty

Fast service.Great frozen cocktails especially on a hot summer day.Happy hour prices are fantastic.

A total vibe. Good drinks, cool space, pet friendly, and has a photobooth ?!?! I don't need much else tbh We stopped here twice in kne day because we loved it so much! It definitely has a dive bar feel but in a cool and hip way. There is a lot of indoor seating and inside is a bit dim/dark. It's nice and cool though for those hot Texas days. We opted to sit outside though. Outside there's tons of seating though the tables are best shared. We got to know several new friends just by sitting by them. There is a food truck out there so you can get some snacks. The bar also has a wide selection and they do have ciders (win for me). My favorite part is definitely that it's dog friendly on the back patio. I even did a little photobooth shoot with both my pups which made my night. It's definitely my new favorite Austin spot

The Liberty is one of our favorite bars to visit on the East Side. Whenever we are barhopping on the east side, we always stop by the liberty. They have a great outdoor space with plenty of picnic tables and there's always good music playing. If you're looking for a place with good vibes and fairly affordable drinks, this is your spot.

If there is something called a superb dive bar then I would say The Liberty is that bar.It's not fancy. It's just a cool bar staffed by cool people where cool people hang out.There's a bar area, a commons / arcade game area and a cool outdoor back patio with a food truck, which is an awesome place to hang when the weather is right.The beer list is solid. You shouldn't have any trouble finding something you'll like.

PROS: this place has a pool table, arcade games, a nice bar and outside area with a good truck parked outside. The people here are nice and the prices are goodCONS: they do not have a menu and only rely on the food truck. The food truck only has 6-8 items as well and they're all overpricedOVERALL: I would come here if you're thinking of playing games or having a drink, but not for food

Turn the music off at 2:00 am like you're supposed to. No one in the neighborhood wants to hear death metal at 2:20. Also, the bar is pretty mid.

I've been coming here for a long time now, my original thoughts were mehh,.. MAINLY, because they won't take Amex. But... Here's why my mind has changed. It's a dive bar. For a divey joint it has some amenities. A pool table, good amount of seating. A patio! Plus who doesn't love East Side King which is in the back. The brew is cold, the bar is cheap, and the people behind the bar are awesome.I got into an argument with the new bouncer. I was in a mood, he certainly didn't help it. Next thing I know I'm talking to the bartender trying to get them to let me in... he's always been a great bartender, btw, even since the first time I visited.Turns out, that bartender (Zach) is one of the owners. And he's a such a good guy. I chopped it up with him a little bit, asked him about his approach, and he said quite calmly... right now with COVID--I want to keep my employees safe, and i want to still provide a cool atmosphere for our customers. All in all, he's a pro, treats customers right, and he's just a cool dude... RIGHT NOW, more than ever, we need to be supporting our local businesses, and these guys are on my list. If you're reading this, THANKS ZACH!

This is a great East Austin bar to visit regularly or visit as a tourist to Austin. Staff always friendly, drinks are reasonably priced (cheap by Austin standards!) and it has lots of rooms, nooks, crannies and patio to comfortably hang out as a couple or with larger groups. And you can walk to all the other bars in this area too! Highly recommend.

In response to the last review, don't move into a bar district and complain if the music goes on for an extra 20 minutes. That is so lame. Move to South Austin or somewhere else if music bothers you. The bar was here before you and it'll likely still be here when you're gone.Hopefully soon.

Was here with my friends on a Monday night to have a beer for my birthday. My friend started to feel sick after half a beer and passed out on the floor. While we waited for the ambulance, with our friend unconscious on the floor, the bartender was trying to kick us out and said we couldn't call an ambulance to his bar. Will never be coming back to this bar.
