The Lost Well

I LOVE THE LOST WELL!!An inclusive, old-school, dive bar for the music crowd.Punk, rock, metal, almost anything goes.Prices are super affordable.Service is bar none some of the best around. Bartenders treat everyone with kindness and respect.It's like hanging out with family you get to see once a year.So easy to pick up conversation with total strangers. Cold and refreshing drinks.

This place is a classic dive bar, definitely a hole in the wall but the managers make me want to come back every time! Every single time I've had an issue with a drink, or anything I've needed, Amber or Cayman have resolved the issue immediately.10/10! Excellent service, tip the girls they run this place!

This place is simply the best. A REAL rock scene still exists and it's here. Come for a metal show.

The place is great!! Good selection of beers. The music was awesome as well. I don't know what else I can say.

I always have a great time here. Great staff, great atmosphere. I can have a pretty awful week and come here and my smile just comes right back. This place rules! Just the right amount of grime for a dive bar! Super friendly patrons too, I always meet a bunch of cool people here!

I met some pretty friendly people including the owner at this place. Had a couple of drinks and even bought a T-shirt. I'll be back the next time I go through Austin!

My favorite dive/venue and is truly the friendliest bar you were... apprehensive to go to. I've always felt safe here. Service is great and drinks are cheap. Cayman is a force to be reckoned with. She always remembers my order, just don't sass her at last call

2nd time, hubby and I like it. They have some area upfront perfect for motorcycles!Very much Dive Bar, but exactly what I like. We will back to check one of their shows.

This was my favorite place in Austin. Sadly, they had to close when the property owner wanted to sell out to developers. I guess that deal fell thru...Marcello (bar owner) is an awesome dude, and is working on finding a new location, hopefully soon! Stay tuned!

Congratulations - if you are brave enough to come here, welcome to one of the last holdouts of true old Austin, "weird" culture - an actual punk, metal, and biker bar. The Lovejoy's crowd migrated here. It is a holdout in a traditionally low-income area that is rapidly gentrifying.This place is not where you're going to find the beautiful, dazzling influencers and their constant vocal fry and valley girl accents. These are metalheads and punks, in a place that is a constant variety of grungy. Drinks are simple and what you can expect for a dive bar, with the best pricing in Austin. A food truck is perpetually parked outside, and when I first started coming, was a vegan Tex-Mex truck. It is now a truck that specializes in Birria Ramen, and various other Tex-Mex items (though is not vegan). It is excellent drunk food at 1:30 in the morning before close. To tell you how much of a true dive bar that this is, men piss in an ice-filled trough and you get screamed at during last call and at 2am, when it's time to leave. Don't let that deter you - staff know and are close with every single regular in their establishment, which lends a warmth that is hard to come by in Austin. There are stickers everywhere, and when bands are performing, it gets very, very loud. Regulars (because let's be honest - this is a bar that is packed by regulars), along with staff, justify the motto of The Lost Well as "The friendliest bar you've ever been to scared to walk into." It is one of the few bars in Austin where women routinely rave about feeling safe just because the regulars, while nice, will turn violent if madness happens to someone at this bar. It is truly one of the friendliest and nicest bars in town and being there feels like being embraced by old friends - provided that you keep an open mind.
