This place is just a horrible as people say it is, but that kinda makes it great too. Where else will I get to see hoochie mamas and wannabe bawlers, all underage I’m sure, and hillbillies with police vests on? No, it was bad, but I’m giving it one star cause they serve flaming Dr. Pepper shots, which I heard were banned in Austin. Not sure if that’s true, but whatever. And someone got murdered there? Why do I find that horrifying and amusing at the same time?

I set out to review every establishment on East Sixth Street but I find it very hard to review a place that I personally detest so much and have so many issues with. I can say right from the beginning that CO-OP isn’t a good bar for ANYONE. It is a blight on the street and dangerous to not only its patrons but it’s employees. You will always find cheap drinks here, however be aware that I know personally that they pour the cheaper liquor into the more expensive bottles. So that’s not Patron you are drinking. Another thing you will almost always find on a weekend is a heavy police presence or an ambulance outside. It has actually become a joke now every time an ambulance pulls up, «Who got killed this time?» It may be wrong to joke like that but sometimes humor is the only way you can deal with the disgust you feel. Rumors are abound that the bar will be closing soon, we can only hope. We can also only hope that the replacement bar and it’s management will take other peoples lives a little more seriously and consider the effect their actions have on the rest of the street. UPDATE: __________________________________ Apparently the bar is not closing but IS under new management. AMEN. Bonus extra star for that!

When this bar first opened, I was kind of excited about it, because it represented a different demographic than any other bar on Sixth– it played Green Day and 90s alternative rock, which is kind of unique. Where else could you hear Smashing Pumpkins on Sixth, you know? Now, that’s gone. It plays hip hop and top 40, which I like, but makes it basically like any other bar. It now features girls climbing up on the bar to dance, and the bartenders went from average looking 20-somethings that didn’t try too hard to the usual belly-baring mean-eyed girls. They also pack the people in, which makes it less fun, too. They have an open patio in the back with an outdoor bar back there, so if you need some air, keep going further back until you get there. Also of note– the girl’s bathrooms just have a shower curtain for a door. Once, a just-turned-21 year old threw aside the curtain, only to throw up into the main part of the bathroom. Instinctively, I got out of the way. I felt really bad after that, because the vomit got on one of my friend’s shoe, and on another friend’s hand. Ew.
