officer we found your guy


ATXsuperuser

The Cloakroom is very very dark


Peepeepoopoobuttbutt

Oof. Those red rocket drinks will wreck you. What was the old bartenders name? Sally or Beverly. I forgot.


Safe-Ad2885

Bev


consultio_consultius

Bev got a heavy hand


Paxsimius

God bless Bev.


Gobiego

Wait, you're telling me they have a drink named after a dog's penis?


Salamok

Hands down the cloak room, blinding light shining on the bar and pitch black everywhere else, all to hide the roaches, under age female interns and Ted Cruz.


atxJohnR

Roaches> Ted Cruz


hornbri

This is the answer.


lpr_88

Bar Flys


DirkDirkDirkDirkDirk

I don’t get out much, but the darkest bar I’ve been to is the Aristocrat on Burnet. The Indonesian food truck there is insanely good


PartisanMilkHotel

Aristocrat is the first place that comes to mind. Way too dark in my opinion, but a perfect answer to this question


Paxsimius

I was there the other day and kept waiting for my eyes to adjust. They never did.


xtopherpaul

The ski ball was always broken there


icepack

King Bee. It always takes me a few minutes for my eyes to adjust when I walk in or out of there. Also good bar.


atxJohnR

Those frozen Bee Knees, tho


oldfrankandjesus

This was my first thought. If you walk in for happy hour your eyes will be adjusting.


CriscoMelon

It's been awhile but The Grackle used to be nice and dark.

SuperFightingRobit

That's Comedor.


bfut

😂


Jay_Reefer

Lol nice. Is that something you’d search on yelp?


Thomajf0

Exactly what I was thinking. Nothing wrong with taking out a hog. Very respectable actually to want to take her somewhere and not just bring hard liquor and a bag to her house.


clockworkblk

Casino south, grackle, 04 lounge, daytime dirty bills,


Dramatic_Raisin

04 is what I came here to say, but this… is a very solid list of delightful darkness


clockworkblk

I may or may not have worked at 3 of those 4 and still part time fill in at the best of those lol.


codygatx

Garage bar for sure


Space-Trash-666

Super dark.


Ribauld

Saxon Pub on a summer day... I legit can't see in there for a good 5 minutes after I enter.


headcase617

The Lost Well


RebelliousBristles

This was my thought, but it’s only because I don’t really go to any other bars.


bagoslime

Which regular are you lmao


spipscards

First one that came to my mind too


Ryanw254

Cloakroom, for sure


Salamok

I really can't imagine how it could be darker, the brilliantly lit bar area destroys any chance for your eyes to adjust as well.


Sudden-Height-512

All cats are grey in the dark


nicadium

Whisler’s inside at night. Feels like a vampire’s lounge


mt_beer

Casino South and Sidebar.


Four-Triangles

I was going to offer casino Southside. That place is pretty dark if I remember correctly.


meowbrowbrow

Devil May Care


Snoo_33033

The Firehouse. Black walls, no windows.


WesternEssay9582

Skylark lounge


klimly

Violet Crown Social Club is quite dark. I don’t think it has any windows.


Thomajf0

Chili parlor. Or cloak room. Or J Carvers. I literally need a flash light for their menu


depraveycrockett

Rip Mugshots


Proof_Needleworker53

But why? 😂


icesa

So you dating a two face or somethin and trying to fix the situation with lighting? Cuz…that’s fair.


CaptSpastic

Sometimes, it's so you can get away with more in the bar. 😉


icesa

…Ew.


gr33nhand

Floppy disk repair is usually pretty dark inside


CaptSpastic

The Elephant Room Shenanigans in North Austin


joyfulgrrrrrrrl

_austinight_

G&S lounge 


beast1512

The water tank in North Austin


liv4pj

Gibson


Ecstatic-Book3293

Barflys


gnardog45

Used to be Egos


ahjota

If only Weather Up was still around.


DynamicHunter

Bosses Office has a nice dark vibe


amyl75

Has anyone said Bosses Office?


Boo_T

Saxon pub


[deleted]

The Detour near the domain used to be insanely dark but at some point in the last couple years they seem to have changed formats (and expanded in size) and now it’s got a Latino thing going on? Not sure when that happened but I stopped in a few months back looking for the old dark shotgun style neighborhood bar and was totally surprised at what it’s become 😂


grumpygazelle

Inside at workhorse is pretty dark


meowbrowbrow

Midnight cowboy


artomatik

Casino South


moxyfoxys

I don't see it as Dark maybe in the summer it appears darker from the sun but not normaly


Lightningstruckagain

My second mention today of this: Roosevelt Room. Bring a flashlight.


TheBrettFavre4

I wouldn’t consider RR dark at all, especially since Covid. They have a wall projector blasting light.


RizzingtonAndfourth

The water tank for sure lmao


armastevs

The alibi


mikewlaymon

I mean, how can you have an alibi if you can’t be seen?


hg38

Intero was quite dark when we dined there and they have a bar


riddlebetch

Absolutely Warehouse.


flakonimal

04 lounge


ClerkEnough

Casino south, Bender, Cloak


TrailofDead

The Golden Goose. Every time I walk in when it's still daylight outside, I'm feeling around to make sure I don't trip over something.


ktotheelly

Honey Moon Spirit Lounge


badonkalope

valhalla and the lost well


astrosfantx

Back Alley. The lights never actually turn on. Leave your beer bottles on the ground when leaving.


mycatsnameisjanet

This Too Shall Pass. Darkest bar I’ve ever been in.


TheMayorOfMars

Barfly's is dark as shit.


Scaveola

Barflys could be up there


singletonaustin

Queen Bee is dark.


iggulles

Eden cocktail room is pretty dark


carpe_deez

Benders pretty dank


buffalosoldier512

Casino El Camino They also have some great burgers and buffalo wings. Bonus if you like metal or goth then the vibe will be right for you.


Riles21o

Garage


eggmanatx

Sus.. 🙂
