A beer at Austin's Dry Creek Cafe will only cost you $3. What’s more, at the time of our visit their
bartender, Angel, was only the third to work there since 1953. We’ll swap
stories with her over a cold one, learn about the cedar choppers who
once drank here from author Ken Roberts, and hear Bobby Earl Smith
perform the murderous love ballad this salty joint inspired. We’ll also talk
about the infamous Sarah, who was named in her obituary “the meanest
bartender in Austin,” and explore the nearly seven decades of history this
hidden dive, now surrounded by mansions, has borne witness to.
