Bar 96

Home

Opening Day Baseball !! Come and join us for some good times with a batting cage, beers and hotdogs.

From the classy crew who brought you Clive and Lustre Pearl, Bar 96 adds its own casual ease to the eclectic mix of Rainey Street vintage playground.

Infused with a sports-friendly vibe and a wraparound porch that loves the company of late night loungers, its the bar with a little something for everyone.

A place where you can catch the game while savoring Texas brews in the comfort of a neighborhood back yard. 96 feels like home – except you’ll never want to go to bed.

Bar 96 offers a diverse beer selection, champagne, wine and a full bar, as well as all the classics: Corn-hole, Jenga, and more, including an old photo booth!

Hours: Mon–Fri 2pm-2am. Sat-Sun 11am-2am

OUR STORY
Bar 96 opened its doors in late 2010 for a sports-friendly and relaxed environment for all to enjoy. It is Bridget Dunlap's third bar in Austin, following Lustre Pearl and Clive. Bar 96 is a great success but not the last success for Dunlap. Container Bar will open in fall of 2012.

HISTORY OF RAINEY STREET
The Rainey Street Historic District is a street of historic homes, many of the bungalow style, in downtown Austin, Texas. Rainey Street is positioned near Lady Bird Lake and Interstate 35 in the southeast corner of downtown. Though 21 buildings are specifically identified as a part of the historic district, the stretch of Rainey between Red River and Driskill includes 31 buildings built before 1934, giving the neighborhood a historic character relative to other areas of the city.
Most of the homeowners asked the city for a zoning change back in 2005 and got it. Rainey went from single family to Central Business District.

SXSW/Special Events

Rainey Street is a perfect place to host any event, from a small company happy hour to a big showcase for South by Southwest. In our first SXSW, with Lustre Pearl and Clive Bar, we hosted a number of corporate and industry events that includes performances by national-touring acts like Broken Bells along with Austin up-and-comers like SPEAK. We cater to a number of different event sizes and formats and will work with you to make your event as awesome as it should be.

96 is the newest addition to the Rainey Street scene, but it's more than ready to host your next event or party. Please email us and we'd love to start planning with you!
