Live Music, Real Energy, Downtown Austin

A Victorian-era venue on Trinity Street where live acts, craft drinks, and Austin nightlife collide.

About Us

Some bars just pour drinks. Tellers Austin does something different. Housed in a Victorian-era building on 607 Trinity St, right off the infamous Sixth Street corridor, this place has the bones of history and the pulse of a city that never stops making music. The room carries that rare quality you can't manufacture: it feels like something is always about to happen.

The crowd here spans local regulars, touring artists, and the occasional celebrity passing through. Reviewers have called it a genuine spot to network with musicians and creatives from around the world, and that reputation isn't accidental. The upstairs bar adds a second dimension to the night, giving guests a perch above the action while the sounds rise up to meet them.

Tellers opens five evenings a week, running from 5:00 PM into the early morning hours on its busiest nights. It's the kind of place where Wednesday feels like a Friday and the last hour before close is still full of possibility.

What We Offer

Live music is the backbone of the Tellers experience. The venue books a range of acts and styles, giving the lineup genuine variety rather than a single predictable sound. Whether the night leans toward electric guitar, fusion, or something harder to categorize, the stage at Tellers delivers.

The bar program keeps pace with the music. Drink specials are part of the draw, and the bartending staff has earned real loyalty from regulars who come back as much for the service as the setlist. The space itself functions as both a live music venue and an event venue, making it a go-to for private gatherings and performances that need a room with actual character.

For artists, Tellers is more than a gig. It's a room where connections get made, where a set can turn into a conversation, and where the Austin music community shows up in force on any given night.

"Dirty Sixth Street bar and music venue in a Victorian era building. The upstairs bar features live music."

"very lame after hours spot. You’d expect a place that stays open past 2am & has a ridiculously high entry fee of $30 to be a wild venue, but this is far from it. The drinks are ridiculously small (and expensive), the speakers are blasting music 5ft from your ears, absolutely no one will be dancing, and there’s really just nothing to do other than stand around and wait to get another drink. Any decision made past 2am will be a regretful one, but going here is probably the worst mistake you can make."

"I had my Batchelor party here and let me just say to the fellas.... it's better than going to the gentleman's club. We had a blast security was on point and the atmosphere was awesome... James Shorts was my host and he made it a night to remember. Very grateful..The big gut Ralph surber behind the bar was very cool."
