The Venue
Welcome to Sam's Town Point - a hidden gem in South Austin that feels like stepping back in time! This beloved dive bar has been a working-class neighborhood joint since 1981, run by Penny Grossman and her family, and has emerged as one of Austin's most authentic music venues.
Nestled among trees in a quiet neighborhood, Sam's Town Point exudes old Austin charm with its unassuming beige exterior. Inside, you'll discover a cozy space adorned with aging beer signs, wood paneling, and a delightful mix of comfy couches and old movie theater-style seats facing the dance floor and bandstand. Christmas lights and Chinese lanterns add to the homey atmosphere, while a late-1960s Wurlitzer jukebox loaded with 45-rpm records stands against one wall like a forgotten treasure.
- Enjoy live music seven nights a week featuring top local and touring talent
- Try Texas draft beers from breweries like Jester King, Karbach, and Live Oak
- Join the popular two-step dance lessons held weekly
- Experience both indoor entertainment (capacity ~80) and outdoor events (several hundred)
- Bring your friendly pup - they're dog-friendly!
What makes Sam's truly special isn't just the pool table, DJ booth, or even the taxidermied black bear near the front - it's the community of artists and music lovers who gather here. Under the curation of songwriter Ramsay Midwood, you can always count on quality performances, whether inside or on the spacious outdoor stage.
