Founded in 1974, Hole in the Wall is a historic Austin institution located on Guadalupe Street (affectionately known as "The Drag") directly across from the University of Texas campus. As one of the city's oldest and most iconic dive bars, it has spent half a century serving as the ultimate proving ground for Austin's vibrant music scene. Legends like Townes Van Zandt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lucinda Williams, and Shakey Graves all cut their teeth on its famously cramped stages.The venue features two distinct performance areas: the iconic Front Stage, perched right in the front window where bands play to the bar and the street simultaneously, and a larger Back Stage room for more traditional club sets. A spacious outdoor patio connects the two, providing a laid-back oasis for college students, old-school regulars, and touring bands to mingle between sets.Surviving decades of neighborhood gentrification and rising rents against all odds, Hole in the Wall is a defiant middle finger to corporate polish. It remains fiercely independent, offering cheap drinks, zero pretense, and live music seven nights a week. Whether you're looking for outlaw country, indie rock, or blistering punk, Hole in the Wall is where the true, gritty soul of Austin music still thrives.
