A great time! Attentive staff and a wonderful manager/owner who oversaw everything. Great times. Just wish the musician had started playing the faster/old rock and roll songs before 10 pm. People were requesting and giving $25/song, but he would just say "they're not ready yet. " We finally had to leave. As we flew out the next morning. Would definitely be back, but would know to go about 11 pm or after when the music started to be more driven by the "rowdy song" requests.

Exceptional customer service does still exist on dirty sixth! This place is top notch and they run a tight ship. Will be back.

Perfect Guinness.
I had a great time and I was all by myself! Bartenders made me feel welcomed and were very attentive.
Saludos desde Argentina!

Great Music, mostly good time. Even after we were tipping very well, bartender was rude. We were there for a couple of hours and had a couple of rounds; getting ready for the third.
I saw the boxes of beer against the wall, saw an open box, pulled a bud light and looked at the “born on” date, and slide it back. As I turned around, the bartender threw a pen at me. I thought he was joking around. He said something about stealing a beer. I was like, you saw me put it right back and you’re really going to say I was stealing? I said, who would steal a bud light? I held out my hand to shake his. When he refused, I realized he was serious. Even after tipping over 30% all night, I can’t believe he thought I was stealing beer even though he saw me slide it out and slide it back in.
Ruined the night, so we left;. Very short sided, lost business, party of 5…. True Darwinism as I doubt we will come back. So many other bars to choose from.

So the owner of Darwin’s Piano Bar (who was tipped heavily on this good night) decided that if people should choose to dance in a piano bar, then they are crossing some sort of Imaginary line that was unacceptable, to only him. Seemingly he has a reputation that precedes him and the gentleman that he chose to ‘kick out’ on this good night, was simply enjoying himself with his many friends, by simply dancing in a piano bar - full of music - shocking.
So this would mean that the gentleman and his group of 13 fellow patrons, people who were of no consequence to the Darwin ownership and after spending their hard earned money and experiencing the goodwill & generously alongside the fine citizens and tourists of Austin, would sadly witness the Putin-like Czar of Darwin. This person would take it upon himself to abruptly end this group’s joyous evening in the Texas capitol. Ending sadly, in a venerated Austin establishment on an otherwise joyous evening. The Piano bar on this February night would ultimately & ironically end, on a sour note. Sadly for the great and entertaining city of Austin - this Bar is a place that is not indicative nor is it representative of the renowned hospitality of the people of Austin. Sadly the ‘Darwin’ is proved to be less than welcoming and is not worth your patronage in its present iteration. Sixth St was tainted for this traveling band of unsuspecting revealers succumbing to Darwin’s reverse evolution.

This bar has a really great atmosphere. Each time we have been there, the musicians have been amazing. Bar service is good. One of my favourite bars in 6th Street.

We came to the piano bar to celebrate my dad’s birthday we had a blast! The bartenders were super amazing and very friendly. The artists were super funny and interactive and took a bunch of requests! We will most definitely be back again!

This just might be the best bar @ Sixth street! Excellent troubadour, friendly bartenders CJ and Brock (I hope I got that name right, although we all know you are the long lost brother of Randy Blythe from Lamb of God). Randy…I mean Brock even gave me this cool bottle cooler as a souveniur. So much fun!?

The wait staff did well. The atmosphere was great. The establishment wasn't too loud, so my party could talk. The only issue was the entertainment, which was a light hearted physics lecture. This may appeal to some people, but it very much was not for me.

This place was absolutely insane.in a good way! The guy on the piano absolutely killed it with the guy on the drums. This was our favorite stop of the week by far!

The only reason to go to downtown is this place, I love the music, the place, the piano plays. Well is like a show Lol. I love it. Friday and Saturday after 9: 30 p.m. The best show with Diego who plays the piano.
