Whether you’re still riding that brunch buzz or just want to end the weekend right, these Austin bars have your back. Here are the Austin hotspots that are still pouring partying on Sunday evenings.

The Aristocrat Lounge

Aristocrat Lounge is a low-key spot for pool, shuffleboard, patio hangs outside, and no-frills drinks (think Old Fashioneds and palomas) on Burnet Road. Don’t skip snacking at the onsite food truck Yeni’s Fusion, which offers traditional Indonesian comfort fare and, yes, fusion dishes, like empal gentong – coconut cream soup with smoked Texas brisket. Open until 2 a.m.

The Little Longhorn Saloon

Three words: Chicken shit bingo. This honky tonk turns into one big, festive tailgate every Sunday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. when people place bets on where a chicken will defecate. There are plenty of good times and bottles of Miller High Lifes to be had, but be sure to get there in time to enjoy it. The parking lot gets packed quickly, and Little Longhorn Saloon closes at 9 p.m. on Sundays.
