Clive is one of the most relaxing bars on Rainey Street because of its "Western" feel. Try visiting several of the bars on the street, each has a very distinct personality.

Travis Blankenship

Ask the bartenders what they like to make. They're all very passionate about their craft, and they tend to have a couple of amazing drinks in their back pockets! Or just get a Pecan Porter on draft .

Aaron Jones

Great cocktail menu . However, some bartenders may need to be reminded that every cocktail should not be shaken. Nightly $6 cocktails during the week and free biscuits and gravy 2nd & 4th Sunday's.

Ariana Voyer

Enjoyed sitting outside on the deck with a Perfect G&T. Great for people watching on Rainey Street .

natalie kay

Every cocktail I had was delicious. Trust the bartender and go earlier to enjoy a great conversation.

Brooklyn United

Part of the Rainey St. collection of bars , Clive Bar has a distinct vibe with a nice wooden side porch , perfect for enjoying a drink and the warm Austin weather.

WD Sprinkle

be under 30 & a hot femme ... then the service is excellent ... if your not option 1, 2 or both .... be prepared to stand at the bar with an empty glass in your hand!

Kyle Bunch

One of the great hidden gems downtown, just off Rainey Street . And make sure to check out Bar Ilegal in the backyard .

Wendy Qi

Don't miss the mezcal house tucked in the back of clives sprawling patio

Jim Caruso

A favorite, slightly out of the way, spot - during SxSW or anytime.

Kristen Keys

I love sitting outside here. So much outdoor space , awesome view , tons of food trucks to deliver . Perfect!

Molly Harris

Jonny Gray killed it last night at Clive Bar. Such a cool place for an intimate set .

David Pitts

It's crowded on Saturday, but nowhere near as bad as some other areas of town . Good selection of beer and a well made G&T.

Joep van Loon

Great bar with Dutch gin ????????

Roger Willis

Cool house turned bar . Me gusta. Sometimes have live music .

Brittany Rouse

Love the outdoor space here, and they have great beer prices.

Paul Canterbury

Great outside terrace for live music .

David Ramirez

This is the "dive-iest" fancy bar in all of Austin. All the class of a high scale lounge with tons more character. Plus with $2 Pearl you can't beat it.

CultureMap Austin

There's an obvious reason why Clive Bar rhymes with "dive bar ," so you can ask the bartender for menus of a couple restaurants across the street.

Daniel McDonough

best bar on rainy st. great outdoor space .

Jacob Cass

Mulled wine and spiked apple cider ! Was perfect for a chilly Texan night.

Timothy Kim

Great live music and a relaxed atmosphere .

Sarah C

Oddly enough the patio here is unquestionably one if the best places to see the bats!

J. Tilz

This place is fantastic. However, the ping pong table is unfairly positioned and leaves one side with an unfair advantage.

Danielle Orange

Best old fashioned I've ever had.

Sem

Awesome bartenders and drinks. Sit outside and enjoy!

Dylan Turner

Great patio ! Great selection! Great bar !

Victor Vu

Great outdoor seating and mezcal mules at Bar Ilegal .

Arthur Carmichael

Order eats from the bevy of food trucks across the street (the bartenders have the menus)

Cool bar to grab drinks at... dark, lots of candles, great deck.

Moscow mule !!! Cool dog, picked up some kayak tips...

Mark Yawn

Slam a shot of Herradura neat, chase it with a Victoria! Life will be fantastic.

Decent dart board

Great patio and drinks.

Order scotch on the rocks and they'll pour you a triple

Matthew Presley

Huge outdoor area for all the patio dwellers.

ᴡ Elliot

Get the Mezcal drinks

Order a Moscow Mule .

Rachel Youens

Pay respects to the passing of the Peacock Lounge by sipping a cocktail in their old chairs, which now reside here

Andrea Engelland

Don't come here. I love Rainey st but our bartender is TERRIBLE. Or come here and ask for one of the male bartenders .

Briana Carlson

Try a barrel aged cocktail !

Rainey st mule is delicious!
