I can't remember the last time that I had a lot of fun at a bar, friendly people, Karaoki nights are fun, great environment and Aly is an amazing bar tender, she makes sure everyone is OK, I enjoy going to the bar when she's there.

I miss Austin, thank Giddy Ups for keeping it's spirit alive.

Laid back, everyone's family atmosphere. Great local music in an intimate setting. Big selection of beers for the size of the bar and courteous staff. Comfortable and spacious outside with plenty of good folks and great conversations.

Old lady bartender screamed at everyone to shut up because apparently we were too loud and she was overwhelmed. She then left to go outside without serving us yet. If you're going to yell and cuss because you have customers, you're in the wrong field.

Great little bar. Music all the time. Great blues jam with fun people who make you feel welcome.

And the beer is cheap!

Come on, this place is really fun with a real dive bar kind-of-feel. Open mic night is lots of fun.

Older female bartender was rude for literally no reason to me and my friend. Most likely because we came in looking young and beautiful and she was hateful.

Was visiting my sister and brother-in-law went to 2 other spots before Giddy Ups.
By far the best time the live music was fantastic.
Not much as far as appearance inside but the atmosphere is good old music with people that appreciate a good time.

Excellent cocktails, beer & wine selection, not your average beer joint. Funky Texas decor, huge outdoor patio, big yard.amazing blues. “go-to” lil bar tucked away down Manchaca.

We came here on a Wednesday open mic night. The open micers were awesome, belting out old school country with duets and trios on guitars, harmonicas and vocals. Had no idea what to expect and WOW is this place the definition of a hidden gem.

The building, patrons, and decor combined makes it feel like you're living in simpler times - that OG Austin vibe that attracted folks here pre-Dell/Tesla. Its like you got spit out of a time machine with the dial turned to 1980s.

Friendly staff. Ecelectic Decor. Check out an Open out for yourself and be transported yourself.

Old dive with locals still proud. They are great people and interesting. Glad to see an austin classic still standing! Locals told of some interesting stories as well.

Like a roadhouse popped out on the fringe of Austin 30 years ago, and as the city crept towards it, it stayed the same. Badass little spot to hear live music.

Edit: probably wanna check it out no matter what age you are.

Original review: If you're not over 55 you don't really fit in but that's okay.

This is a rules-oriented honky tonk. Don't come here with your drunk friends, as running into people on the dance floor is highly frowned upon. This is great for the regular dancers, but something to be aware of if you aren't intending on actually dancing like everyone else.

Cover for the dance floor is cash only - be aware!

Local hole in the wall institution. Manchaca vibes and prices clinging on against the Austin tide - Cheap drinks, live music, kareoake, open mics, and bar games.

This is the best little dive bar in South Austin! Regulars and out of town folk all have a great ti.e. Wednesday night shuffle board tournament and a live band. Fast friendly service. Very reasonable prices. I'm always coming back when in town! Do yourself a favor and come join the party. Dance, drink, meet new friends.
