This is not a clear bottomed, chlorinated pool. Not many but it is not an easy pool to guard. The guards don’t have time to deal with someone who’s even possibly intoxicated. Why? Because of the pandemic the pool is shortstaffed. Btw-You will be immediately asked to leave if busted with booze. They will say something to you or turn you in if you are breaking the rules. Or as Willie once said “we tune because we care”.īarton Springs is very special to locals. Austinites are picky about this because, well we are used to good musicians and someone that can play in tune and knows the difference between a C chord and an F chord. Small speakers and your phone don’t count - you need to be an actual musician or at least attempting to be one if you want to play music here. (Unless IT’s an instrument you can actually play like anĪcoustic guitar). NO FOOD, NO SMOKING/VAPING, NO ALCOHOL, NO MUSIC. Here’s what you need to know about Barton Springs: only water is allowed.
