Compare to UT where you can walk to a hundred+ bars, including Antones and the now-gone Joe's Generic Bar, home of cheap beer, low sanitary standards, and free blues 6 or 7 nights a week. The old Antones was basically on the UT campus.

Need I say more? All you can expect music wise in the 'Burg is some Fife and Drum repartee. Yankee Doodle and whatnot. Ya really got to be in the mood...
Bruce Hornsby used to play there all the time... just Bruce and the piano... it was great... there used to be some good places in NN & Hampton & Yorktown... we had a little band that used to play in Yorktown.. it was a little pool hall on the water... great steamers, cold beer and many of your honky tonk favorites!

I used to nap in Swem library upstairs on hot days...
