Donn's Depot

Classic old school honky tonk piano bar. Went there with a buddy while they were having 2-Step lessons. Staff was super friendly. Crowd was diverse. Live band was great. A must stop on your next pub crawl or for learning how to trip over your own feet!

Great music very friendly crowd and staff. We love it there. Dance floor area is usually busy. Good drinks. Nearby El Arroyo for Mexican food followed by a visit to Donn’s Depot is a perfect evening. Take an Uber home

Another place I'm ashamed to admit that I've never been to, considering I'm an OG. I've driven past it my entire life.. literally, but have never stopped to check it out. My bad. It's a super cool bar that has live music every weekend. And the sweet bartender will make you whatever sweet and fruity cocktail you request. With whip cream on top. And a cherry or two. It's a great place to people watch, too. It's definitely one of my new favorites.

One of the last old school honky tonks. Great vibe inside the railway car. I have been a few times but most recently on a Monday night. The music came on at 9am and it was incredible. Met a few local bartenders (that work elsewhere), and they told me about the musicians that drop in on mondays. I am so glad I got to experience and I'll be back!

After a friend recommended coming to Donn's Depot I decided to give it try. This was the best suggestion anyone has given me in a long time. I have stumbled into a hidden juel in Austin, TX. The best bar that Austin stands for. Great music funky atmosphere with a crowd that goes from Aistin weird to young hipsters. Prices are much better than in Dirty 6th St. Service was great, the two bartenders were busy but kept up with the crowd a drink were served in a timely manner.
Holiday drinks selection was amazing.

This place is really fun to come to during the Christmas season. I came here for a work Christmas party and the atmosphere was perfect. By the time I left I was feeling really jolly, but I felt like the a Grinch the next morning. Oh well, hair of the dog it is!

First time here .... came with an Austinite to see Murphy's Inlaws and was blown away by how engaging they were, and the raw talent! I'm a whiskey on the rocks kinda girl and got a double...ended up with a quad pour!!! No complaints here; will return asap

Love this place on Thursdays to dance and chill. Safe for grown up people who enjoy a laid back vibe, good music, good service, and a dance floor that you can actually reach

My mom comes here every Wednesday night to listen to the band and dance. She finally got me to go and we had a really great time. The service was great and the band is awesome. Certainly an Austin eclectic place to go.

This is my favorite dive bar in Austin! Christmas themed all year, live music most nights, lots of dancing and they carry my favorite cranberry vodka. Location is great and I love seeing a variety of different types of people getting together and having a good time.

Great place. I’m not sure how I missed this place all the years I lived in Austin and worked down the street. Anyway, highly recommend for an awesome Austin experience.

Great Austin's Railway theme bar! An Austin Christmas tradition. Local gather to sing the 12 Days of Christmas annually. Great service!!
No food except popcorn.

Highly recommend Monday nights at Donn's Depot with the multi-talented Chris Gage and rotating musical guests. Always attended by a friendly crowd of happy people, dancing, socializing and enjoying the generously poured adult beverages.

Fun piano bar with an old-western twist!

Really neat place. Building was built with train carts put together. Live music every night. Don and the Station Masters have been playing there for 50 years! A must see!!

Went for an escape from sxsw, had a good vibe that night. Was not a lot of people since we got there a little earlier but then a band started to play and it started to jam. The drinks were good, bar tenders was nice and the bathrooms clean. We had a good time and enjoyed the music and then left to head back into the sxsw mix.

Please note: They don't allow anyone that wasn't born here or lived here <15 years.

Absolutely the best otherwise. The most intimate and true to Austin venue.

Not sure about the food but it’s a cool place to grab a few beers. Christmas decorations are worth the stop.

This is a must go for anyone who loves fun, friendly and eclectic! Great building made from and old train car! Don plays piano and sings! Couples dance to wonderful old country tunes! It's dressed up for the holidays!

One of my favorite bars of all time. There are few places where you feel like family as much as at Donn’s. Not to mention the drinks are pretty cheap, and the music’s always good! Especially fun during the Christmas season. 15 out of 10
