Through all of life ups and downs iron bear is always there! Al is the greatest bar tender/ therapist 😈
I always end up in some intresting places once I've been drinking and this just happens to be one of the places I stopped in. There was entertainment and cool people to chat with inside. Austin is always a vibe.
This is such a great bar. Friendly people and hot bartenders. Their food is actually pretty good for a bar! We went to the Iron Bear while staying in Austin. It was just down the block from our hotel on 6th Street.
