  Speaking as a musician, The Hole In The Wall is a fantastic venue in which to perform, it's where I played my first professional gig with a band on February 20, 1997 and I still love performing here 2 decades later!
  There are 2 stages, both with amplifiers and a drum kit (drummers: you gotta bring your own snare & cymbals. They have a throne, but I recommend bringing your own.)
  The front stage is small and intimate, with the window as a backdrop. The PA systems in both rooms are excellent: in the front room only vocals and acoustic guitar go through the PA, so make sure that your band knows how to control their onstage volume.
  The newer second stage is bigger, more elevated and everything is miked. So long as your guitarist(s) & bassist don't turn the amps up too much, sound engineer extraordinaire Mike Nicolai will provide you with a consistently crystal-clear mix in both the front of house and the monitors. Mike is laid back, super nice, extremely patient

  Iconic gritty bar pub and live music venue serving bar grub and burgers lunch and dinner. Liked the place better before they expanded the back area. Great, cheap lunch spot for impoverished grad students.

  Historic local music venue and charming dive bar. It's the watering hole of choice for UT grad students, with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks are cheap and there's a decent selection. Live music pretty much every night, and it's always worth a listen. Grab some cheap, delicious Japanese street food in the back building.
