Bout Time Pub & Grub

About this place Bout Time Pub & Grub

Bout Time Pub & Grub is the neighbourhood gay bar that serves North Austin's LGBTQ+ community — the residents who live in the expanding northern suburbs and neighbourhoods that have grown with Austin's population boom and who want a local gay bar without making the trip downtown to the 4th Street strip. The format is the neighbourhood pub: a full kitchen serving bar food, a relaxed atmosphere, a loyal regular clientele, and the kind of local gay bar that functions as a social hub for the area it serves. The IH-35 Frontage Road location is practical for North Austin residents and accessible by car for visitors exploring the city's full geographic spread. Bout Time serves a demographic that the downtown bars are not optimally designed to serve — older residents, families nearby, people who want a low-key evening rather than a nightclub experience. For visitors staying in North Austin or interested in the full geographic range of Austin's LGBTQ+ scene beyond the downtown concentration, Bout Time is the relevant neighbourhood option.
