$ 8 Long Islands were strong and good. The dude bartender with the ponytail was cool, but the chick bartender was a bit stressed out and aloof, «Yeah, whaddya want to drink?» This place is good if you are 40+ and the live band was neat. Don’t think I’ll be rushing back, but the dude bartender was cool and the ambiance was ok for a neighborhood dive bar.

This is the greatest dive bar in north Austin. Cheap(strong) drinks, good live music on the weekends, Wednesday is $ 2 you call its, bathrooms aren’t gross, back patio is great. Pool, darts, and shuffleboard… you really can’t ask for much more. It is in a shopping center and looks vaguely sketch… but that’s okay! Keeps the snobs away.

On October 3rd I closed my tab out wrote cash in the tip and I have not left at this point from the patio and I had a member of the staff come out and make a scene saying how I always put cash in the tip space of the receipt and was yelling at me in front of everyone on the patio calling me very very rude derogatory names. It is true that I write that on the receipt because I put cash in the tip jar either the start of my tab mid tab or end of my tab it was very rude and embarrassed me as the customer I’m not sure if this was because she was intoxicated from doing shots while working or out of pure spite and very unprofessional… very disappointed

I really like this place. Good bartenders, good drinks, good prices, good rock n roll music, decent sized outdoor patio, bathrooms usually pretty well kept. Need to hang out here more often.

Pretty good place to go on a late night, not a place I would go to regularly because I’m much more of a party animal.

And having previously rated it 4, then 3, it’s now up to a 5 for me. Why? Awesome bartenders, and when I was in there the other night playing poker and Chris Max came on, WECOULDSTILLHEAREACHOTHERTALK. The volume issue has gotten MUCH better recently. Still $ 2 you call it Wednesdays until 9 and never a cover even with the awesome that Chris brings starting at 9 Wednesday nights.

Oh man. I just love this bar. It’s kept very, very dark inside, and I won’t act like there haven’t been a few occasions when I walked outside and realized I was too inebriated for it to still be this light out. They have $ 1 jello shots and $ 3 frozen margaritas that are surprisingly strong. There’s usually a pretty eccentric mix of people too, which is what makes it so fun. They have a jukebox, but I’ve caught a few live shows there that were pretty good. No food, but there is a pizza place nearby that will deliver.

Wednesday’s acoustical jam with Chris Max is fantastic. Chris pulls many of his friends in the local Austin scene on stage to jam. The regulars are all like family.

Parmer’s Wednesday night is the best happy hour in town. $ 2.00 you call its. Literally, you call it. Want a tanqueray and tonic in a pint glass? Okay, 2 dollars. Want a weirdly huge Deep Eddys tea? 2 dollars. Seeing the pattern here? The live musician plays the EXACTSAME set list every week, but I can think of no better place than PLT for a great night of chilling with friends.

Nice chill place. Good live bands. Back patio is a little small, it would be nice if they had a non smoking section outside. Last thing I want to do is smell cigarette smoke from a chain smoker.

I found myself sitting at the dark bar with a couple of old guys, a douchebag talking very angrily and loudly on his phone, and a cougar. Then I thought, «What the hell am I doing here?» I had a quick drink and left. They only serve bottles and liquor, and I’ve never paid more than $ 7 for Herradura until now. They did have fresh limes, though. Fresh limes rock!

Parmer Lane Tavern has really great bands! Thsi Fri. «Fusion» is playing. Happy hour drinks are great. Michelle & Laurie the bartenders rock. If you want a good place to hang this place is calling your name.

I will never step foot in this bar again. A friend of mine called the bar to ask if they could maybe put a few tables together with a reserved sign for a large group. They did and we had a good evening. A couple months later she called again and was told«You people need to drink more alcohol». Really? If we didn’t go there they wouldn’t have gotten any of our money. We also noticed that it wasn’t so crowded that people were turned away. I understand they are running a business but we will take our large group business somewhere else in the future, I’m sure another bar will appreciate any money they make from us.

what a surprising little gem of a neighborhood bar tucked away… in a strip mall? i was skeptical, but friends suggested this place and the blacked out windows gave me a different impression than what hid behind blackness. It’s filled with several high top table rounds, 4 or 6 pool tables, shuffle board and poker games that happen on the weekends. The bar reeks of years of indoor smoking– but it wasn’t annoying but rather comforting and made me remember the days of indoor smoking and glad that it’s just a fading stench of the past. Drinks were reasonably priced, looked as though they have many daily specials and happy hour until 9p– which includes jello shots!

I like this place. It’s just what you want in a neighborhood bar. It’s not overly loud or filled with douchey people. Staff is great. My girlfriend thinks it’s creepy though, maybe not«classy» enough? I think it’s perfect. My only complaint it that it’s next to a pizza place, every time I drink here I want a pizza. The pizza place is never open at that time. Not the Taverns fault in any way, shape, or form. Frustrates me anyway.

New find for us living in North Austin. Fantastic bar staff that makes you feel welcome the minute you walk in. Nonsmoking, clean, great drinks, along with live music on Wednesdays. Overall just impressed in talking with both bartenders(terrible with names — male & female) that really enjoy being there and if you’re a first-timer like we were, will give you a history of the bar that’s been there for over 20 years. Suggest all you North Austin folks that are looking for a new cool place for a drink — stop by.

I have been a regular of PLT for over 8 years. It is one of few places in Austin where a person with a professional engineers’ license, MBA, real estate license, and multiple business functional experiences can sit beside a plumber and have a great conversation. A meaningful and fun conversation! I once sold a rental property and spent all the profits on friends and regulars at PLT. Fully open bar and it was still less than a grand! Laurie is awesome and I hope I did not misspell her name. She has been there for as long as I can remember and has great stories. PLT is a dive bar where a high class scavenger like myself is proud to hang his hat. come see us once a year at the best costume disco party in Austin!

Ventured into this place last night for the first time with my neighbor. It really wasn’t what I was expecting as I was pleasantly surprised with the interior. Plenty of places to sit and watch the games and friendly bartenders and waitresses. Tough place to categorize as a variety of music was playing and the clientele followed suit. One thing for sure is that I really liked the vibe and look forwarding to returning.
