Longtime Austin karaoke bar sets tentative closing date
AUSTIN, Texas - Popular South Congress karaoke spot Ego's Bar has set a tentative date for its closing after more than 40 years.
In a post on its Instagram page, Ego's says it's taking it day by day as its landlord is making a decision on fixing pipes that keep collapsing.
The reason? Ego's says it's because the landlord plans to demolish the building at some point.

Ego's says it plans on being in the new build when it happens but that it won't be relocating until then, so there is no clear time frame on when they will be back.
As for now, Ego's tentatively says it will remain open through the end of August as the landlord looks to fix the pipes.
Ego's is located at 510 S. Congress Avenue and opened in 1979.
