So ... what do you think?

thrill or kill

Chain wallets, emo-core and old-school punk abound at this alt-rock institution.

In Short

Located in the heart of Sixth Street, Emo's offers a generous helping of bands on two stages. Nestled between the two sides of the club is a cozy, under-the-stars backyard with tables and chairs for the Courtney Love-esque girls and chain-wallet, baggy-pants guys who are taking a break from crowd-surfing and moshing. Affordable, ice-cold long neck beers perfectly complement the white-hot local and touring punk, alternative, grunge and thrash-core bands for which Emo's is famous.

Know Before You Go

The under-21 crowd may have to pay a higher cover, but Emo's is all ages all the time.
