Sam’s Town Point, a south Austin icon, has been delivering ice cold beer and foot-tappin’ live music since 1981.

Sam’s lacks glossy modern architecture, serves no craft cocktails, and brags no contrived concept. It feels like old Austin because it’s been a working class neighborhood joint since phone booths.

Owner Ramsay Midwood, musician and longtime resident singer, host’s some of Austin’s finest local acts and the occasional roadshow band. Shinyribs, played his first gig at Sam’s Town Point, as did Mike and the Moonpies. Country, Country punk, Western Swing, Americana, Blues and sometimes more eclectic bands plug-in and count down every weekend at this Austin legendary venue.

Sam’s sport’s two stages – indoor and out and a roomy beer garden.

While others chase the zeitgeist of Austin, Sams’ Town Point exudes a lowfalutin’ creative fortitude that’s refreshingly real. Spend some time poking around the compound and you’ll know what makes it special: the people.

Favorite bar I’ve ever been to. Driven from AZ 3 times to hang here. The music is always great, the people make you feel at home and the beer is cold.
