Yes.  It closed within the last year or two.

Now it's some deli/bagel shop.  I haven't tried it.

There was definitely a sub shop next door for a long time about 10-12 years ago, but I don't remember which chain sub shop it was.

I used to go to that bar (when it was AMT) for a few years but I haven't been in very long time.

I suspect that due to its location, and her affinity for dive bars, our favorite council woman still stops into the bar occasionally.

No. You could still run into FitLump.

I can't believe so many posters here have hung out in that shit hole.  Oh wait.  Yes I can.
Lulz. It's probably been 20 years since I've been there. Definitely weren't many options for a cold beer in that area back then other than AMT or Rhinos and Jocks (not great, Bob).

Waaaaay back in 1988 the original establishment where AMT is was a sub & pizza place with a pretty cool arcade area. It was only a 5 minute drive from Westwood HS so we'd go grab a sammich & play some pool [emoji463] or video games at lunch. Good times.

By the way, just realized the Twitter video came from fitlump.  My apologies in advance

yeah last time I was there was after meeting a chick at Rhinos and Jocks that wanted to ditch her girlfriends and play pool so we went there first (I had a pool table at home too but not sure I wanted her to know where I lived).  It was an interesting scene.

Rhinos and Jocks has probably been gone over 10 years now.  I know that last visit was at least 19-20 years ago.

I think both guys that tackled him requested to be anonymous but that was pretty awesome what they did regardless.

"Pending a lengthy jury of his peers"?

Fitlump looking for a well-hung jury, I take it. 

Prior to this incident was Gavin Rush a known commodity? The fact he is a proper noun in the title and not "Austin lawyer pulls gun..." makes me think he might have been a minor celebrity or figure or something but he was just a mid-career attorney at some mid-tier firm, right? A dime a dozen in any city.

Probably on probation / parole and not supposed to be in such a low establishment. Not really kidding. i've heard of at least one similar hero having to bail before the cops got there for that very reason

Yes and I used to go into Delaware and order my Philly and then go have a beer in AMT while I waited.

Never saw anything crazy or weird in there.

They were definitely tops in town, above Texadelphia for "purist" cheesesteaks.

There is some place on the east side I need to try.

His previous charge for impleding breath/circulation in 2017 (as stated in article) was against my sister. He also trashed my apartment when my sister lived there after she started dating someone else. Clearly my sister dodged a bullet. There is no justice system hes at home chillin after trying to murder his current ex girlfriend. SMDH!!!! Hes an attorney so he gets a hall pass of course. Travis County is a FCKIN JOKE!

I’ve been to that bar a bunch over the years. I never had a bad vibe.

I would seek mental help.

Been there many times when it was the Tavern and now the pub. 
 

If I feel like a dive and I want to see an old man blacked out in the corner mumbling nonsense to himself, I go there.

This is literally the type of bar you go to if you sit, drink, and post on surlyhorns.

The place is an absolute shit hole and it smells of vomit for the better part of 2 decades.

Without a doubt, we should have a surly meet up there just to recognize all of the degenerates that post here in a low light environment.

Many a time. Was the closest bar to my house in Cedar Park off of 620/Cypress Creek Rd. That was before we knew to yell "Muledick" when we walked in the door.

Hell, I think I've maybe even been their with Brisket and a mutual friend. I know we used to frequent the one at the corner in the strip mall on the SW corner of Anderson Mill and 183. It had that Aussie owner that ended up in some kind of trouble.

Same strip mall as Reale's?  I'm trying to think of a bar in that place but am coming up blank.

Anyway, aside from the recent gunplay and attempted murder, Anderson Mill Pub isn't really all that bad. It's dive-y for sure, but not particularly seedy.

That was Rhinos and Jocks, back when we were a MUCH less classy bunch.

That was it, and we were still kidless, or Mrs. CHIEF was just pregnant. Nordy was still single.

Ah okay, I vaguely recall driving past that.  That location was a Green Mesquite  for a while before R&J, and it's currently a Moonie's Burgers.  I never went to R&J because I lived much closer in-town at that time.  If I needed a dive bar fix I'd head to Ginny's Lil Longhorn or Lala's or, if we really wanted to approach rock bottom, Buddy's Place.

In fact, Buddy's Place after a bunch of Trudy's margaritas, was a pretty common (disaster of a) night for us back then.

We frequented Ginny's, and Poodle Dog, they were close to Brisket, when he moved to Allendale. Mainly Ginny's to ogle Amanda.

Yup, lots of Poodle Dog, too.  And C Hunts.

Back when we were just out of college in the mid 90s, a friend of mine used to charter a bus and organize a dive crawl for his birthday that would start at C Hunts or Buddy's Place, and then move down Burnet, to North Lamar, to South Lamar, and loop back northward. Then we realized that the #3 bus covered a lot of those dives, and so we started doing that instead.  Our group of 30-40 recent college grads and young professionals got a lot of stares from the 2-3 zombified bus patrons, a we piled on for the .5 miles down to the next dive stop, and then piled off.

It's been a minute, but the last time I went in there, I walked in and could still smell the strong odor of cigarette smoke.  At that point it had been many, many years since the smoking ban went into effect.  I thought to myself, wow, the cheap wood paneling and threadbare carpets in this joint have really absorbed a lot, over the years.

Then I looked down to the end of the bar and there were two crusty old dudes, just openly taking long drags on their cigs.  

Yeah, Buddy's don't care.

We should just pool all our resources and open a bar…I feel like.

Lala's didn't either, until Frances sold the place. Removed the ashtrays and you paid a dollar for an empty beer can to ash your cigarettes into.
