Your 38-stop guide to BYOB in Austin

Sometimes, you just don’t want to spend $12 on a handcrafted cocktail -- sometimes you just want a glass of grocery store wine with your dinner and/or entertainment. When that time comes, consult this list of establishments around town that won’t mind a bit when you show up with a sixer of Pearl Snaps.

Remember now, when it comes to "BYO-booze", please be on your best behavior — you don’t want to ruin it for everyone else. You know the phrase, "This is why we can’t have nice things"? Yeah, that. Sound off in the comments about your favorite BYOB hangout/misadventures.
