Really nice atmosphere; clientele are a FUN mix of genuine Austinites, college kids, young urban professionals (YUPPIES), TOURISTS and a curious mix of artists, etc., etc. Beers are Iced-cold; and the price is SUPER RIGHT, amidst a sea of "trendy and way OVERPRICED BOUTIQUE BARS Perla Bar is well worth, actually more than well worth, a visit. Caution: DON'T SHOOT POOL AGAINST THE OWNER; he's Damned good and knows his way around the small, bar sized, pool table (after all, he owns it).
Great neighborhood bar, people are friendly and will share a table and beer with you. THe bar tendere remembers your name. It's a small bar. It was formerly a home. You can sit out back, and there's a taco stand out front. Get you and Armedello when you're there.
