Looking for a sports bar in Austin to see a game recently, we decided to try Legends. I was not at all impressed.
Negatives:
- hard to find
- it's in a Holiday Inn, and there were a lot of familes with kids there (this is at 10:00pm on a Friday night). It felt more like hanging out at Applebees than a sports bar.
- They have only one pool table and one dart board (both of which were taken up by kids when we got there).
- This may be a temporary problem, but it was really hot and stuffy inside. Maybe the A/C was broken, but it was uncomfortably hot inside, while it was a nice cool April evening outside.
- Service was very slow and unresponsive, though the two bartenders were friendly enough.
We're pretty new to Austin and haven't been to other Austin sports bars yet, but I can't imagine Legends being anywhere close to the best sports bar in Austin. I'd rank it below all of the half dozen or so sports bars I've been to in the Dallas area. I don't understand all the positive reviews--yeah, they have 30 TVs, but so what. As long I can see the game I want, I only need one TV, and everything about this place was terrible.
