October 21 at 4pm
Whisler’s · East Cesar Chavez • $$
Mezcal lovers, clear your evening: Whisler's rounds up 20+ palenques for a patio expo celebrating the smoky stuff. Grab a punch card, sample five pours, and arrive early for mezcal cocktails.
Every day from Sep. 17 to Nov. 1
Gibson Street Bar · Zilker • Free
Gibson Street Bar goes full sideshow: twisted cocktails, Jewboy Sliders, and DJs every Saturday. Reserve a cage room for your crew and lean into the weird.
Nickel City · Central East Austin • $13
A hot dog and a martini walk into a bar: August 20-23 at Nickel City, pair a Tini with your Weenie and pick from four very unserious cocktails. The Simpsons vibe just makes it weirder.
October 20 +25
Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar · South Lamar • $$
Every Tuesday, Loro pours $3 martinis in four inventive flavors. Think lychee with elderflower and sake, or frozen espresso that drinks like dessert.
Every day from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1
Frazier's Long & Low · East Riverside - Oltorf • $
Austin does Halloween bars a little differently. The Long & Low transforms into a rotating haunted house of themed setups: creepy carnival, Beetlejuice, Moe's Tavern, even a Frankenstein lab. Cheap drinks meet spooky season chaos.
Every day from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31
The Wheel South · Dawson • $
The Wheel South goes full haunted house for spooky season: horror decor, themed pool tables, and four Halloween cocktails, all with no cover. Linger past dark, when the animatronics wake up.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
