"Head to the downtown dive bar and restaurant for messy good burgers and easy cheapish drinks. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Casino El Camino is essentially a dive bar that slings out excellent burgers, hot dogs, and wings. It’s dark in here—don’t be surprised if it takes your eyes a few minutes to adjust. You’ll probably spend that time waiting in line to order anyway, because the “secret” that is Casino El Camino’s thick, char-grilled burgers is out. Whether you want to try one of the best burgers in Austin, or just hide out and sip on cold beer, there are plenty of reasons to visit Casino, including the small patio that kind of feels like a tiny tropical resort, complete with Saltillo tiled floors, fountains, and a vibrant Aztec mural on the wall. It’s a pretty sharp contrast from the space inside, but a great escape from Sixth Street. " - nicolai mccrary
"This Dirty Sixth dive makes some of our favorite burgers in the city. But every now and then we decide to trade the burger for a plate of steak frites. This is a daily special, so you can get it seven days a week for lunch, dinner, or second dinner (the kitchen closes at 1:30am). The fries are crispy and coated in garlic parmesan, the top sirloin is perfectly pink and tender, and it all gets topped with a couple of thick slices of shallot and chive compound butter. If you find a better steak in a grungier place, send us an email ASAP. When: Daily, 11:30am-1:30am The Deal: Coulotte-cut top sirloin and garlic parm fries for $23 (larger cut available for $28) " - nicolai mccrary
"For late-night burgers and sandwiches, head to the downtown dive bar. The kitchen is open until 1:30 a.m. nightly (the entire space closes at 2 a.m.). There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
