The Venue
Step into the Saxon Pub, Austin's legendary music haven at 1320 S Lamar Blvd, where the soul of live tunes beats strong since 1990!
Founded by Joe Ables and Craig Hillis, this cozy spot rose from a dingy dive bar into a folk-turned-blues, country, and rock hotspot, honoring the original Saxon Pub's singer-songwriter legacy from the '70s. It's hosted over 30,000 shows, drawing stars like Kris Kristofferson—who called it "playing in his own living room"—and launching careers in an intimate vibe perfect for jamming celebs and locals alike.
- Iconic knight statue guards the door, welcoming music lovers 21+.
- Survived rent hikes thanks to savior Gary Keller in 2016.
- Starred in the 2019 doc Nothing Stays the Same, capturing its enduring spirit.
- From Rusty Weir's epic residencies to surprise sit-ins, it's pure Austin magic!
Grab a beer, catch a set, and feel the heartbeat of the Live Music Capital—no judgments, just great vibes.
