With that in mind, Eater highlighted 20 solid Sunday evening bars that offer up great cocktails and beers. From Texas-only beer at Craft Pride to karaoke at Ego’s to thoughtfully-made cocktails at Weather Up to glasses of favorite wines at Vino Vino and Winebelly, there’s plenty of fun to be had around town. Many bars even offer Sunday specials to keep the weekend alive.

For other Austin drinking needs, Eater has it covered. Scope out the city’s best cocktail bars, cocktail heatmap, versatile bars, wine lists, beer spots, happy hours, and more.

Everything below is listed from north to south. Is a favorite Sunday night bar spot missing underneath? Let Eater know on the tipline, the comments, or over in the forum.
