Saturday, October 31, 2026, 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM · Ego's, South Congress, Austin
DJ Rigatoni spins Halloween kickoff tunes at Ego's from 4 to 7 PM on October 31. Halloween costume contests run October 30 and 31, with El Diablo drink specials benefiting a local cause.
Nightly karaoke from 8pm, pool tables, pinball, and signature shots keep this legendary basement bar running on pure Austin energy. Hidden behind a gas station and underneath an office building, it’s the kind of place locals have been “discovering” for decades, usually right before attempting a very committed rendition of Foreigner in front of a room full of strangers.
Strong well pours at dive-bar prices — the backbone of karaoke confidence.
House shots nightly — the liquid courage order before you take the stage.
Cheap cold bottles — the Ego's way since 1979 and still the move.
