Editor’s Note: The Saxon Pub in Austin celebrated its 30th anniversary in March. This story, written just prior to the pandemic, was scheduled to run in our Spring 2000 issue, but COVID prevented publication of that issue. We’re running the piece now so readers can appreciate the venue’s history and longevity. The Saxon Pub has been closed to audiences since mid-March but has hosted some of its artist friends for livestream performances. Follow them on for updates on how you can support the venue and the Austin music community.
It’s a cool February afternoon at Austin’s Saxon Pub, and all is quiet, save for the venue’s founder and manager, Joe Ables, pawing through a large storage case. In that container sit three decades worth of Saxon-related documents he’s saved for reasons he’s never quite been able to articulate.

If you’ve ever wanted to kick back in the green room at Saturn, or wondered what it’s like to stay in the upstairs apartment at the concert venue in Birmingham, here’s your chance to find out.
Saturn, 200 41st St. South, has listed its retro-funky loft on Airbnb, priced at about $350 per night. The space, which covers 2,200 square feet, has two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry facilities, four sleeping pods, two open spaces for work or play, and a huge deck.
Amenities include a pool table, four flat-screen TVs, a stereo with a turntable and assortment of LPs, video games, a mini-library of books, high-speed internet, Netflix access and more. The unique decor which relies on vintage furniture, colorful artworks, thrift-shop finds, oddball decorative arts and a blizzard of pop-culture memorabilia was curated by Saturn’s owner, Brian Teasley.
