Before Austin turned into the monster it has become and all you needed to survive UT was a good mind, good attitude, and the will to work hard, there was Crown & Anchor. Always a mid-week respite, it was a great place to meet with friends or the occasional professor during “office hours”. My health took a turn to the left and I can no longer enjoy a beer there. But I always go back to “Crown” when I’m in town to meet up with old friends and devour the glorious greasy burgers in this temple to my college days that has gone strangely unchanged. Don’t ever change, Crown. Kid-friendliness: It’s somewhat kid friendly in the middle of the week but wouldn’t be my first choice.
