What to expect
A wild live set with a lot of back-and-forth with the crowd. The description even mentions crowd surfing right in the middle of 6th Street. Friends has no cover and music every night, and it gets louder as the night goes on. There's a camper kitchen out back for tacos and bar food.
Why go
Friends is an unpretentious, no-frills 6th Street bar that has kept local bands on stage for years. With no cover, it's an easy place to see an Austin rock musician play hard in a room built for it. The late crowd is part of the show.
