Schultz is good. And I remember Abel's well.
But the best bar ever was The Boar's Head in Athens, Georgia (not affiliated with the Boar's Head chain theme bars to be found in many cities.)
It was an old lounge in a cheap motel with almost no lighting, a beat up wood bar, a few old vinyl stools, darts, stale popcorn and cheap beer and drinks. Jan and Kitty worked the bar every night I was there- Miss Kitty had big white hair and somedays dressed up and some days wore a jogging suit, whatever she felt like doing.
We used to just sit there and drink til 2, and then go to someone's place and drink beer and play poker until sunrise.
Much as I like Austin, nothing ever beat that place in Athens. I recently found out it is no longer there- all torn down and replaced with something new.
I never really cared much for 6th street.
