Beerland
711 Red River, 512/479-7625
Beerland’s cheap beer and loud music have been a recipe for success since 2001 when the Red River cave opened. The roughly 200-capacity club has since become favored ground for punks and garage rockers, breaking bands like OBN IIIs while also tapping national acts like Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees. The bar’s streetside smoking patio has hosted some of the craziest unofficial SXSW performances in Austin history.
