Oilcan Harry’s Austin

When visiting Austin a gay bar that is a must visit is Oilcan Harry’s in Downtown Austin.  This bar has a very friendly staff, they have also have a bar outback which is nice in the summer.  They also have a dance floor and a pool table as well.  Oilcan Harry’s has an ever changing list of activities, which you can find on their website.  The most memorable event in my mind was the underwear night, they gave discounted drinks to anyone who dropped trow and walked around in their undies, this was quite a bit of fun.  This place has a total of 3 bars and quite a few LCD screens throughout.  I have met some very cool locals here, they are right next door to Rain, another large gay bar.

Not only is this just a gay bar, but they have shows, an outside bar where they allow smoking.  A real staple if you are visiting Austin for the first time.
