New ownership and recent renovations haven't much changed the spit and spirit of this Austin punk rock cornerstone. Though the competition is growing down on Red River, Emo's is still the Austin stronghold of music scene integrity with all-ages shows, cheap cover, eclectic bills featuring impressive local and touring national acts, and an indier-than-thou atmosphere that challenges egos and ears seven nights a week. And don't feed the bouncers; they're some of Sixth Street's surliest.
