Message from Donn's Depot

Live music, laid-back patrons and cold beer bring in all sorts to one of Austin's old-school, honky-tonk gems.

Housed in an old Missouri-Pacific train depot, some of Austin's most talented musicians play at Donn's Depot six nights a week. Enjoy live music from music acts including Murphy's Inlaws, Earl Poole Ball, and Donn Adelman among others. Real train cars serve as seating areas, and the ladies restroom is a real caboose. Attracting students and retirees, this piano bar and saloon bridges the generation gap with its diverse range of musicians and musical genres, from swing, country, modern folk and pop.

Tips

Know Before You Go

Although popcorn completes the official Donn's menu, longtime patrons occasionally bring in home-cooked tailgating-style appetizers such as chili.

The Extras

The ladies room, an authentic caboose furnished with garish wallpaper and shag carpet, is a Texas legend.

Where to Sit

While Donn's can get a bit on the smoky side, the patio provides a welcome escape for stargazing. There's also a piano room and a big-screen TV to catch the Horns.
