Elysium

I love Elysium! Every time I visit, I feel very welcome. Its also a good creative space to just be yourself. I met new friends there, and I enjoyed looking at the art all around the venue. All the employees were nice to me and answered any questions. The big restroom there is so cool with the art in there. I also enjoy seeing shows there, since you can be nice and close to the stage. DJs there have all been awesome from my experiences. I would recommend going to Elysium if you want a fun and welcoming scene. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. 😎🖤🦇✨️

Elysium is a goth gem found on 7th and Red River. This is one of the old school bars, one of the last remaining vestiges of 2000s Austin nightlife. They host a variety of events from 80s Night, drag shows, costume balls and live music to local artisan markets and fundraisers for the community. Come for an affordable well drink or play some pool and pin ball machines.

Elysium is kinda like the “Cheers” of Austin. Still standing after about 25 years. Still doesn’t overcharge. Nicest DJs and bartenders ever. Long time safe space for all the freaks, weirdos, and queers that make Austin the place it is. (So much love for our supportive straights and normies too.)The stage has been an host to everything from iconic musicians to local community acts. All treated with the same respect and importance.Lastly, you can always find John hanging outside, closing the bar out, happy to talk to anyone.It’s simultaneously a misty hole in the wall and one of the beating hearts keeping downtown Austin alive. So many amazing memories. All my love. ❤️

Such a great bar! Though my attire made me stick out from the crowd, I felt welcome and cozy there. Everyone I met was nice, and our bartender went above and beyond. The atmosphere is really cool - good music, good drinks, loved the altar next to the dance floor. Hope to return to visit this place again, soon.

Went for 90s night because I thought itd be fun, but the club was mostly empty, especially on the dance floor, plus a big portion of the music they played sucked. The pinball machine in the back is not free, even though I think itd contribute a lot to my boredom if it was. Needless to say, this club was not bumping. I appreciate the lights and fog machine, but it just hides how worn down the place is. Bartenders and other staff are very nice though. Just not worth going to, especially if youre under 21.

A fun place to let loose. Dance to 80’s, New Wave, Goth Industrial etc depending on which night you choose. Or catch a live show! Drinks are great. Visit more than once and you’ll start to feel like family. Cannot say enough about the hard working staff (Jade!) along with the owner who literally cares & looks out for the community and all his guests. A MUST if you’re visiting Austin!

Fun and safe place for all the new wavers, goths, punks and the like! Sunday is 80s night and a barrel of fun!

This is one of my go to’s for 80’s dancing on Sunday night! Lots of fun and great music! Sara & John are awesome!!

Great bands! Good ambient but for Gods sake please do something with the restrooms!!!!

Absolutely awesome place! Looking forward to coming back to see my favorite 😍 artist again!

Elysium is great; it continues to be one of the most original and fun clubs in Austin that offers a wide variety of musical talent that youd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the city.The staff here are some of the friendliest people youll ever meet and honestly just one of the best spots in town.

Best 80s night in town. Music is awesome! Patrons and bartenders are super friendly. Love this plsce!

Great music, drinks and prices!Elysium is a long-standing Austin venue for the alternative scene. They have a wonderfully danceable and well beloved 80s night each Sunday! The owners have invested as much in the community and culture as they have in the business itself.The bartenders really know their stuff, too. I recommend ordering the Blood Shot! YUM!!!

Definitely one of my all time favorite places in Austin. This is maybe the only bar in the city where you can be guaranteed to find industrial, synth, goth, darkwave music.The bartenders are always attentive, quick, and fun. 80s night on Sundays is an all time staple.Most importantly, the sound here is absolutely outstanding. When you go to a show you know is going to be loud the sound should still sound crisp and this place delivers! There have been bands I’ve seen here that sound completely different with the finely tuned sound system they have. Hats off!

Such a fun atmosphere, but poor to nonexistent air conditioning. This could very well just have been a one-off. Stationary fans were set out, but were not effective in circulating sufficient air.Clean bathrooms and affordable drinks.

Great sound and excellent DJ playing 80s music Sunday nights while everyone from Goths to metal heads danced even up on the large stage. The volume was just right to enjoy and hold a conversation without having to yell. Friendly bar tenders offered a wide variety of beers and cocktails at reasonable prices and the patio was perfect for taking a break from the dance floor.

Place was closed when said open on-line. Disappointment from scheduling a sitter excited to enjoy a night here and stood outside closed with others.

I almost always have a great time especially on a Sunday! Drinks are super reasonable and plenty of bartenders means short lines. Great music and plenty of dance floor

Sunday 80s night was so fun. All alternative music like The Cure Depeche Mode, etc., reminded me of my college alternative days in late 80s. Live in Kansas City now, nothing like it. Met some awesome people. Plan on going back in August!

My favorite nightspot in Austin for the past 13 years and the ONLY place I frequent in downtown. Historic location, wonderful staff, and the owner treats you like family. There’s something different going on every night and it’s always a fun place to dance, see a live show, or just relax with a drink on the patio. Elysium will always be my 2nd home.

I waited a few months to post this, so this isnt knee-jerk reviewing. The middle aged male bartender who worked at SXSE was incredibly rude. Im a local Austinite who loves grunge, 80s punk, early emo, and loves listening and dancing to it with my wife, while supporting local buisness and the community.I was nervous, dont go to bars often, and was trying to be an easy customer. I asked if he had any mixed drinks he recommended he responded aggressively I dont do mixed drinks. Thats fine, maybe hes busy so I asked if he had a prefered whiskey, he responded whiskey.Then my friend ordered a few seconds later and asked the bar tender if he had any recommendations. The man completely changed his deminor and offered to make him a special mixed drink with a bunch of stuff.Look, I get it, Im not entitled to anything in life, but I was trying to be any easy customer, he had the opportunity to sell me literally anything. Instead I had an interaction that was poor enough Im still bothered almost half a year later.I hope others dont have this experience, and that mine is a one time problem from one bad day, during a stressful week.

Life is filled with a lot of choices and decisions: where will we go and spend our time? what things deserve our hard-earned money? where can we find community? what place can feel like a home away from home?for me, ELYSIUM checks all of these boxes and it starts with the staff. from the moment you approach the venue to every interaction with security, ticket staff or bartenders, you just feel welcome. i say this as someone from out-of-town (NJ/NYC) who shows up alone with only sometimes a guarantee of knowing one of the artists or performers; it could be easy to feel invisible, but they dont let you. 🥰so perhaps the whole reason for going is the talent and theres no shortage of it gracing the elysium stage - from spotlighting insanely local artists to booking dates on national tours, its always worth it to see whos playing when im in town or if im seeking a good reason to take a trip. ✈over the last year, my personal highlights have been the SXSW showcase in march (stoneburner & curse mackey), the chant show in may, the american dream tour in june (eva-x, moris blak & danny blu) and the voltaire and ego likeness shows in july. ive never heard a bad show at elysium, so that also says a lot about the amazing sound and tech staff. 😎so while youre standing there just taking it in or lounging on a couch and feeling at home, theres a good chance john will come up to you and thank you for coming out...and when you want to look back on those amazing nights, you can thank roi for his photography that truly captures the essence of the performers and the energy of the show. 🤩all in all, the comfortable layout of the venue, the caliber of performers coming through, the experience and courtesy while youre there and the engagement online is what keeps me coming and recommending this place to others. thank you to all for welcoming me into the alternative ATX community. 🖤

Austins oldest and pretty much only refuge for, alternative, gothic and industrial music. Very fun. Cheap drinks. Try Sunday nights (their 80s night)

Been coming here for years and it’s still my favorite bar in town. Great music, awesome events, and run by the sweetest people!!

Super great atmosphere with good alternative/goth music and low door fee. Ill definitely be returning!

Talk about an amazing time! The bands, bartenders, and the DJ were so awesome. It was an overall great atmosphere. I went by myself and left with friends! You’ll love it!

I’ve been coming to Elysium for years when I’m in town. Last night, the door boy said I wasn’t allowed because of a vibe check. I highly recommend plenty of good clubs that doesn’t have a smelly door guy who is displeased about his life to make patrons feel unwelcome.

We went to the Priest concert last night, I only went to the bar twice, and didn’t leave an open tab. I closed it every time after ordering. Now I have a $34.20 & a $35.00 charge on my debit card after already showing a $19 & a $20 charges for the originally drinks already ordered. Now I have to deal with getting my money refunded. If it’s even possible now.

I’ve been coming to this establishment since it was Atomic Café in the nineties. There was great concern it would close until John Wickham stepped in and transformed it into Elysium. I’ve seen so many incredible shows here that never would have been possible without this institution existing. I’ve honestly lost count of how many I’ve seen here. So many lifelong friendships have been forged within these walls thanks to Elysium continuing to keep our scene alive. I was born and raised in Austin in 1980 and seeing so many music venues close in my lifespan is rather heartbreaking. Liberty Lunch would be at the top of my list. I’m beyond thrilled Elysium survived COVID when so many other places went under. This city prioritizes real estate over legendary music establishments, yet still claims to be the “Live Music Capital of the World.” In an ideal world Elysium would be granted the same landmark status as Broken Spoke, so it can remain a life source for the Austin music scene for eternity. Much respect for John Wickham and all he has done for the music community. Please check out this wonderful club and support the local music scene.

Good place to see alternative entertainment

Inconsistent with open times, bathrooms are scary. Ive tried for years to support this bar because they are the only one of its kind in the city.Last night I was willing to pay the $17 cover but they did not allow my partner in and instructed him that next time he should not have any drinks before coming there. This is the third time they have rejected him while allowing everyone else in. Never have I heard of a bar (on a street of bars that doesnt open until 10pm) not letting you in. We came from a work Christmas party before coming there, he was not wasted.

Really cool retro 80/90s bar. Cool vibe and awesome shows! The drinks are ok, but average for a downtown music club. Lines at the bar arent too bad but you will have a wait usually. They bring in some really awesome bands from my high school days. It was a fun night!

Great music, fun bands, fun special events. Its been here for a long time but if ur visiting and like goth, industrial, and 80s that they play on Sundays it is wonderful... Takes you back when music was great... For people visiting Austin, it is a wonderful gem!!!. Great, fast bartender service... Enjoy!!!!

This place varies GREATLY depending on what is happening there. Some of the events are really good! Sometimes its dead in there. Its a big venue and hard to fill. Its got a great spot on the corner of 7th and Red River and they are definitely keeping it weird. A staple for the goth/punk scene, which you can see as you walk by the patio. Bartenders and good, drinks are reasonably priced.

Hands down best alternative dance night in Austin. Very friendly staff—once, a girlfriend and I were the last to leave the club late at night, and the owner waited to make sure we got to our car safely, after giving us free bottles of water to take for the ride. Love this place!!

Only place in Austin that wouldnt let us in with an empty water bottle

Not for everyone, obviously, but if its your type of place youll definitely have a good time here. The bar staff is always friendly and the drinks are top notch compared to other places nearby. There are always different and interesting events happening here throughout the week, definitely worth popping in if you havent.

Fun club, they have 80s night on sundays which is fun and definitely a great time! Has a dark, goth feel, perfect for their 80s night! Also a nice, different vibe from the typical 6th street bars. Attracts a fun crowd and has a good layout for socializing and checking out the dance floor. They also have a stage which can be danced on if you wanna show off your skills for everyone to see!

Had so much fun on 80s night tonight. Went alone and still had a great time. Room full of all kinds of folks dancing, some come dressed in their 80s best. Was here visiting -- wish there was something like this back home!

My favorite hang out in Austin. Welcoming to everyone and the staff is wonderful from the front door people, the bartenders, and the owner, John. They all value their patrons and treat you like family. Music is fantastic and the DJs are approachable and open to requests. You have the popular 80s night every Sunday, but they also hosts tons of concerts, carnivals, etc. So come out, be awesome, and have fun!

Every Sunday, yall should definitely check out Eighties night here!! Its great! Start your night out at Side Bar and have some good, strong, cheap drinks. Its next door around the corner, east seventh. Then head over to eighties night at Elysium...if you want in free, see if you can find the secret password! Its always good fun!

I usually go out on Thursday nights to Nocturnity. I love the different themes they have. My favorite nights however are Sundays for Retro 80s. Great atmosphere, drink prices are fair and tasty, and the owner John is awesome. Met him the first night and almost every night there after.

First time here. I went the the Gothic Prom on June 2nd. It was great!! Our bartender was amazing and took very good care of my gfs and I. They had amazing pole dancers and MOST of them were very nice too. Great place

I dont get it. But thats ok.

Great place. Lots of space. Giant dance hall. Comfortable seats. Its kind of a Goth club (usually). Make sure to dress up in all black. If you enjoy listening to Depeche Mode while contemplating the existential nightmare of your own exiatence, youll feel right at home.

There are some great staff, and one bar tender who will ignore you. The music is fun. Not too crowded and the dance floor comes with a smoke machine! Look for their theme nights and be ready for a fun night.

This isnt just a dance hall. This is a place where the long time veterans of the Austin club scene find their home. The owners are great people, and surround themselves with good friends. This is the home of several different subcultures that all coexist in relative harmony. This isnt debauchery. Its family.

You never meet a stranger at Elysium! I have danced my a$$ off there many a night and will be back for more. Thank you for creating such an inclusive and inviting dance cave ❤💥🫀 (Photo is not me but of some lovelies I met in the bathroom on the 20th Anniversary- 10-29-21)

Welcome to the real Underground. I love that this nightclub has so many eclectic theme nights from crazy drag shows to hardcore industrial. There is a scene for everyone. Let loose and have the time of your life. Talk to strangers, they are all very friendly even though they may be wearing black. You wont find a friendly crowd or bar staff!

The place is great for dancing and hob-nobbing... if you can see in the dark. Seriously, I cant see a thing in here. The bartenders make excellent drinks. The ladies bathroom doors lack locks. Watch out for those stairs!

Its not that exciting on the inside, mainly cause its just black nor lit properly, that fall you take going to the dance floor! The bar itself doesnt have drink prices listed so dont try to talk to the older crusty bartender, hell talk to confuse you about which drink costs what. Long Island Ice Teas are not 3.50 here! Its just a bar like any dive bar in town, but with a fancy name.

Great spot to get your 80s on. They have some great shows from some far out bands and groups. They have a great list of theme nights. Awesome place on a dying street. Enjoy while you still can.

The best club in Austin. You feel like family when you are there...if you want to live life like an OG local Austinitie, this is the place. Sunday nights are especially awesome for their 80s. If you want to dance or just chill on the patio, its all a fun and laid back time! I swear if this place ever shuts down, I will probably retire my red river dancing shoes!

This review is based on Sunday nights only. Its an incredibly diverse group, the music is great, the bartenders are overworked so the wait is understandable. That said, they know what theyre doing, so the drink is worth it.

Ended up here on a whim and am happy my adventurous night through Austin took me by this place. I was there for a Sunday 80s night and had a blast doing a little dancing, playing a little pinball and drinking some girly froo-froo drinks (reasonably priced!) the bartender whipped up for me. Was also grateful for the self serve water coolers that didnt involve having to bother the bartender or wait in line. But if youre drinking beware - there are many steps - 3 to get to the bathrooms, a few to get to the dance floor, etc. and if youre not careful, you could end up flat on your face.

Elysium has been around for a while and for good reason. Ive seen multiple industrial bands here and the tickets are usually a decent price. There is a large full bar with seating all around. There is plenty of space on the floor in front if the stage. There is a patio out front with plenty of seating.

Supper fun. Worker the door for an SXSW venue. They had excellent team working. Really organized for the chaos of this week.

This bar employs merchants and allows them to physically assault you if they wish because they personally know the merchant. Worst bar in Texas. Ive definitely told everyone to avoid this bar and Im going to do so more from now on.

Ive been going to 80s night on Sunday for years. Always a fun place to dance. If you come any other day of the week its a greatalternative dance club.

Love John. Hate being followed to the bathroom like a junkie. I often conduct music business in the loo . Small , safe and great acoustic s. Too busy for artificial joy.. but I appreciate you care...

Elysium always has very unique nights and great staff. They will take care of you more if you show great appreciation for tips especially since they are all trying to make a living as well. The music has the best of Industrial, metal, retro, electronic, experimental, pop, and ect. The best atmosphere that youre ever going to get in Austin by far. 👍

Havent been there since the early 2000s for 80s night theyd have on Sundays..but I still want to go back everytime Im in Austin! I celebrated my 21st birthday there even....Im now 38..love it so much!

Wonderful atmosphere, but the bartenders really need to learn how to make a vodka Collins.Besides that, we had a blast and will be making Elysium as part of all Austin trips going forward.

I love this place. Janet was so cool, and Jared was very kind to me. Great music and a wonderful place to unwind and find peace!

This place is awesome. Everybody is super cool and the bartender really knows his beers. I will definitely return if Im ever back in Austin.

Whenever I want to go out and enjoy a night with friends, am looking to meet interesting new people, or just need a comfortable place to unwind, Elysium is usually my first choice. Whether its to see a show, socialize, or dance till the early morning, I always have a fantastic time.Also, for us LGBTQIA+ people in Austin, Elysium is a very safe and nondiscriminatory establishment for all respectful patrons. The staff is polite and I have never been harassed or made to feel unwelcome.To put it simply, Elysium is one of my favorite places in Austin and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking sanctuary from normality.

Great place to go if you like to dance (really, maybe the only place of its kind in Austin). Flashy lights, sunken dance floor and a largish patio in the back. They host different themed events weekly, like 80s night.

Last night was my first visit to Elysium; and it was great. The service is outstanding and the drink selection is good. My only complaint is that there is a multitudinous amount of stairs that one has to deal with to get around the place; and it can be hazardous if one is too tipsy! Take a friend!

OUTSTANDING night out! Regression Sundays never disappoints at Elysium! The music transports you back to a time of adventure and fun, consuming you with familiar rhythms and lyrics that leave you anxiously awaiting the next track! The staff spoil you with personalized service! The videos and lasers fuel the dance floor with an amazing energy that just keeps you dancing the whole night. Its an escape to totally bitchin retro party experience! Dont miss it!

I go into Elysium and people are dressed up in costumes, even though the website didnt even say costumes, just come as you are. There was a guy who was dressed like the joker and carrying around a mannequin head all creepily. A lot of the girls were over exaggeratingly walking. There was this random photographer in the corner taking pictures of these girls for like 20 minutes so Im not sure if they were renting out the space or what. There was a room for employees only and people were going in and out of there constantly; before the door closed these girls faces were against a table which I can only assume that room was for drugs. As I was playing pool this guy was sitting there by himself just pulling his hair over his eyes with his head down. I liked the music (EDM) but I couldnt even go on the dance floor because I thought I was going to get abducted by the Joker man. I feel like this place is where all the kids who used to wear arm warmers, animal ears, and cat tails to school go. Im not trying to hate on the people at this but just trying to save yalls money, time, and night if this is not your scene. Im glad similar people have different places to assemble and this was just not my cup of tea but some of you might read this and think awesome! And thats okay but this place really ruined my night and made me feel unsafe.

I like this place when they do Industrial/Gothic nights. The DJs always spin the greatest music. The drinks are okay and pretty cheap. It is dark and dingy, but hey, they have pinball machines!

I absolutely love this place! Great bands and events with an amazing staff. One of my favorite places in Austin for sure. Highly recommend.

Sound mixing was not great.

Misunderstanding at bar but they too car e of it. Appreciate the staff and thanks to Benjamin the ma get for helping to mitigate and be so sweet! I love this space

Elysium is the perfect bar for alternative drag, music, special events etc and literally the nicest staff in the world.

Nice place to dance 🩰

If your tastes tend toward goth and alternative, Elysium is home. The DJs here spin the best tunes in Austin (Im biased, of course), and the club hosts some great live acts (The Cruxshadows and Peter Murphy both put on stellar shows here). Definitely worth checking out if youre into the underground scene.

Fun bar with a variety of scenes (dance floor, billards, lounge, patio) all in one place. A great all around drinking spot - one of the best on Red River.

Awesome! Love the staff, people, tenders, and dancers! 80s night every Sunday w the best music and sounds this side of town

A whole lot better than it used to be. Nice furniture, better lighting, no piss smell anymore. Come a long way from 10 years ago. Good job.

80s night is on Sundays is awesome! The DJ has never disappointed and Ive been coming for years.

Friend was assaulted there multiple times and some of the bartenders don’t know how to make basic drinks.

Great after hours from Sisters of Mercy concert. Great music and big floor.

Its a Goth Industrial EBM 80s Electronic (and sometimes emo metal and whatever weird shows up) kind of place.Great one...Saw VNV Nation live there most recently and had one of the best times I´ve ever had at a live club. Only bad thing about elysium is that when it gets PACKED it´s hard to get around.John Rocks as an owner too. He makes sure everything runs smoothly and customers are taken care of because he cares about them.

Great 90s throw back music, it was a slow night.... but still enjoyable. The drinks where strong and the staff was nice.

No water provided for performing artists. couldnt bring our own in. Security told us if we want water we have to buy from the bar.

First show ever. It was odd, but dont regret it. The staff is kind, the venue is comfy, and the vibes are welcoming 🐙

The weirder you are, the better youll fit - but anyone is welcome. Bartenders are laid back and theres always something interesting to see.

Witnessed the vampire ball to rock em all. Great bar tender Vincent has a quick but kind way of handling each bar guest.

My favorite alternative bar downtown

Attended Austin International Drag Festival and performed at Elysium. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly. And the owner... respectful gentleman I had the pleasure of meeting. THANK YOU!!! Rasta Boi Punany

It has potentional, just seems to be maybe managed and ran by people that maybe dont know or dont have the right drive to run it proper. Id go back again, just is not on the top of my list of places to hang at.

Ive tried other clubs but the people, the music and the atmosphere as a whole keeps me coming back to Elysium. If I want to dance or just hang out with an amazing and interesting crowed, Elysium is the first place I think of...

Our go-to spot for 80s night dancing on Sundays. Great atmosphere, crowds, drinks and music.

Great relaxed atmosphere. This place has been a recurring venue for nightlife since early 90s and still delivers!

Best club in Austin. Sunday nights are 80s and a diversity of people go. So much fun.

Nice relaxing environment. Goth night was awesome. Bartender is not afraid to Google if does not know how to make them

Love this place. Best dancing and Djs in Austin. I really hope they make it through the epidemic.

Great place to dance or enjoy live music. Excellent, friendly staff. Love this place!

Music quality varies wildly depending upon the DJ. Reasonably priced drinks, comfy hangout.

Its a nice club good people good bands they could change a couple things but other wise i like it here

Fun atmosphere and a dark setting. Great bar with a knowledgeable bartender. Plus karaoke!!

Wish i could give it 0. They wouldnt even let me in. Maybe only locals? Middle aged well-dressed dude with money to burn cant get in on 80s night?

Really cool place, loved the overall feel. definitely planning to go back next time i’m in town

Great fun,80s music played by the DJ

Lots of great concerts! Leaether Strip, Suicide Commando, Project Pitchfork and Decoded Feedback to name a few.

Good sound, but it was hot as hell the night I was here. Also the mens bathroom... Pretty terrible.

This place always has something going on. Theme nights and shows. Everyone is accepted in this fun loving goth club.

Great place that does a variety of shoes, from Industrial to Punk to Burlesque. Always a good time.

I enjoyed this place a lot more about 10 years ago. These days, Im happier with something a little more lively and a little less creepy.

I had meant to come on a Tuesday for drag night, but I found kpop night to be just as enjoyable lol

Omg love love love the Owner Dan n his Wife Sarah R amazing people n Jessica me n Smiley will always love u guys

Great place it’s shows it’s classic dark venueUnplanned show for us on this trip to ATX. Awesome

Good music, need to fix outdoor floor, and more maintaince at the dance floor, excellent music, cheap drinks

Elysium is like Rudolphs Misfit Island sometimes, but in a jovial, maniacal level. Friendly, dark, nostalgic, and cozy couches!

Goth / Grunge / Industrial bar does well with its theme, but it always seems pretty empty.

Your average downtown run of the mill live band location very dirty inside which you can expect and all these locations the ceiling is worn out so dont come here we clean clothes

The original Austin goth club! 80s dance night is the best!

Cute, cash only cover, kind of small. Would go back again but not a first choice

Great spot for 80s dancing, music shows, burlesque, and drag performances.

Its a cool 80s bar! Had a great time!

Pros: addams family pinball machineCons: played the weeknd

Always empty. But the music is great and the drinks are also good.

One of the longest standing consistent venues in the city. You need to stop by at least once

Great eclectic vibe. Cheap drinks. Great for pool playing.

Fantastic place to liberate yourself through the majesty of dance-80s night on Sunday is my favorite

OK place, but two of my best friends met here. That assures at least 4 stars.

Industrial/EBM? Not anymore. Sounds more like pop and a small sample of industrial.This is no longer your industrial dance spot. Just pop

Bartender charges one dollar to open and one dollar to close your tab? Are you kidding? Is this legal?

You dont come here for the space you come here for the events. I wouldnt just hang out here on a random night with friends.

Best place in town

Unbelievable sound system, one of the best in Austin

Great bartenders, music and staff. I love this place.

Solid goth bar and music venue. I went here about 15 years ago and not much has changed.

Pretty chill bar/clubNot at all crazy like some clubs/bars in downtown Austin

Pretty dope place to hang out. Wait for events if youre into the scene.

A little run down almost too shabby, but a fun night to be had here.

*0s night is the best place and the owner is super Cool! Luvz it!

Always a good time. Friendly staff. Owner is very nice

Fun place to dance. Not too crowded.

80s music all night. good place to dance

Its a decent bar, just watch your step.

Over a decade of amazing goth and dancing on Sunday night.

Had sm fun here at the Sidewalks and Skeletons & Brothel show

Love the venue but some of the wait staff are shite.

Very awsome place seen the vampire circuse there.

Great bartenders and music!

Got to see my favorite band my life with a trill kill kult

Great club! Always enjoy myself here!

Great venue, friendly staff, great programmation.

Bar is practically falling down. Needs major renovations.

This place lies about what it is. No way a premiere nightclub

Best 80s night in town!

Love the energy of the place and real funky people

My Sunday night haunt! The owner is AMAZING!

Great girlsBYOB is awesome

Its a night club, not much to say... music, alcohol, and dancing...

We attended a benefit here, and it was great!
