Sunday night is Hole in the Wall's last - June 30, 2002 by Heather Maze

When the clock strikes two early Monday morning, the Hole in the Wall will no longer be a part of Austin's nightlife. The owners can't afford to renew the lease, so the longtime popular bar will close its doors, leaving some people in Austin without their favorite hangout. Hole in the Wall closes Sunday night is the Hole's last.

³I'm very much going to miss this place,² said one regular, Danny Fletcher. ³This is such a great place to watch bands play, and I feel a lot of places like the Hole in the Wall are disappearing in Austin. And this was one place I could go to, and I am very sad."

The Hole in the Wall has been serving alcohol and bringing live music to Austin since 1974.
