Those who know me best can vouch for the fact that when I go out and hit the town, chances are, at some point in the night, you’ll find me at one of the many outstanding Austin dive bars with proximity to a jukebox. There’s nothing like havin’ the freedom to “play DJ,” pickin’ some tunes, while enjoyin’ cold beers and great times with friends.
That said, I’ve compiled a list, in no particular order, of some of the top jukes here in the Live Music Capital of the World. The stellar group below is, by no means, meant to limit the amount of excellent “boxes” we’re gifted with in ATX, just a snapshot of my absolute faves. Enjoy and drop another quarter in!
