Hole in the Wall

The Hole in the Wall is one of Austin’s most legendary venues for all the right reasons: we love our regulars, we book incredible live music, our staff is family, and we’re committed to our community. Founded in 1974, the Hole in the Wall sits just across the street from the building on the University of Texas campus where the Austin City Limits show was taped for decades and where KUTX radio still broadcasts.

Throughout Austin’s turbulent cultural storms, the Hole in the Wall has remained the Austin music scene’s go-to club for generations of beginner bands, established touring acts, and famous rock stars to throw back a few, have a laugh with the locals, and, as one of our most revered regulars, Doug Sahm, once said, “get down to the nitty gritty.”
