If Austin-area jazz lovers feel ignored, it is justified; the local music scene, multi-faceted as it may be, has always neglected their genre of choice. However, what the region lacks in quantity, the Elephant Room more than makes up for in quality. It has been deemed as one of the finest venues in the country by none other than Wynton Marsalis (and subsequently honored by a unanimous resolution of the Texas Senate for having earned the jazz legend's admiration). The appeal stems largely from the club's unceasing lineup of regional favorites, touring greats, and, once in a while, plain ol' jam sessions consisting of anyone who cares to take the stage.

Este lugar se encuentra al sur del río, y es un viaje en el tiempo a la década de 1950. La música ‘rock roots’ y el country predominan en este bar, donde se puede encontrar a menudo personas con chaquetas de cuero y Cadillacs clásicos estacionados afuera. Cuenta con música en vivo todas las noches, homenajes a Elvis, y aquí se celebran el cumpleaños de Hank Williams, por lo que es un lugar genial para bailar, beber y relajarse en los bancos. Las ‘happy hours’ cuentan con algunos de los compositores favoritos de Austin. El lugar ha ampliado su gama de música en vivo para incluir, ocasionalmente, la de ‘indie rock’.

With its little stage having played host to some big names over the decades, Hole in the Wall has long been regarded as one of the city's most storied venues. Today, it mostly serves as a launching pad for local up-and-comers ranging in size and genre from 9-piece bluegrass bands to individual singer-songwriters. And although the nature of the crowd itself is subject to similarly sudden shifts (this often being a function of the performing schedule), the bar's proximity to UT brings in a steady flow of students and associated youngsters, most of whom come in for pitchers of Shiner and Lone Star.
