Back Lot — Restaurant in Austin

My bf and I went to this place one night while walking around the neighborhood. We were celebrating his new job and decided to pop in for a quick one. It was mid-week, before dusk and the crowd seemed a bit young. Despite the smoking, we thought the patio might be a good option. Unfortunately, we never made it outside because we were not served or acknowledged by the bartender. I tried twice to get his attention, but he seemed preoccupied checking up on the young men sitting at the bar. Then, another young man walked inside from the patio, clearly over-served. This person couldn't even articulate what kind of drink he wanted and just yelled WHISKEY at the bartender.

Back lot. Awesome dive bar.

This place used to be called 'nasty's bar,'... What a drastic improvement backlot is.

It's kind of dark in there, folks are friendly. Very much Dive.

Been coming here since college days used to be two dollar tall boys but it’s 3 now, (no biggie inflation) and it’s a true gem in the city if you want a local dive bar experience with affordable drinks, great company, great vibe and atmosphere. I’ve left my debit card in my ID here multiple times from playing darts and getting to Turnt and they always have it at the bar available. The bartenders are second and none very respectful and kind and have been working there for years. Will continue to be a regular here when I move back and I’m so happy Covid didn’t kill this place it is near and dear to my heart. By the way it smells clean in here, there’s no sticky surfaces because which brings cute women often. This place is lgbtq etc friendly and love the food truck out...
