Food & Drink Your 38-stop guide to BYOB in Austin

Sometimes, you just don’t want to spend $12 on a handcrafted cocktail -- sometimes you just want a glass of grocery store wine with your dinner and/or entertainment. When that time comes, consult this list of establishments around town that won’t mind a bit when you show up with a sixer of Pearl Snaps. Remember now, when it comes to "BYO-booze", please be on your best behavior — you don’t want to ruin it for everyone else. You know the phrase, "This is why we can’t have nice things"? Yeah, that.
