The Dirty Dog is the Best metal bar in the Austin area. Several live shows weekly ranging from bluesy rock to extreme metal. Very laid back atmosphere. Bouncers are great, and very friendly. They take care of any potential issues, and care about the safety of the customers, especially the huge Zakk Wylde lookalike dude.

Drinks are on par with the 6th street area meaning they not the cheapest, but not astronomical.

Though the metal scene in Austin isn't huge, the Dirty Dog Bar is a breath of fresh air in the utter weirdness of all the hippies in the area.

Keep rocking.

Was visiting Austin (19-21 SEPT) and decided to hit 6th St that Friday. So my g/f and I were just bar hopping in order to check everything out. Ended up in Dirty Dog at the end of the street. Glad we did. My g/f had never been to a place that is geared towards metal. Tombstone Union was performing when we walked in and she was really liking the female vocalist and sound of the band. So we hung out for a bit and ended up staying for the entire set. I was impressed with the selection of craft beer they had on tap and couldn't argue with the price of $5/pint.

Crowd was positive and nobody was trying to mosh with those that didn't want to. I guess the best way to put it was that people not normally use to this type of crowd and vibe feel safe. So much so that my g/f and I ended up going back to close the night out.

The music from the stage is balanced and the bands that night were all good. I'm definitely going to check this place out again, the next time I'm on 6th St
