The vibes here were great, but to get in on a Saturday night..expect a $30 cover. If it werent for Chris in the front, this review might have been one star. The house music and the aesthetic lights were awesome. Its definitely a vibe.We had got drinks around 1:50 for last call at 2. Drinks were pricey, but kindnof expected. Me and my party were sipping on them and the bouncer comes around and SNATCHES our drink because it was time to clean up for them. Like this dude was awful. He didnt let us finish it on the spot or nothing. He has got to go. A few other people were about to swing in him just for that. That guy is awful and completely destroyed the vibe. He had a Hispanic vibe to him. DJ was great, bartenders was cool, but that bouncer has to go.

Great place for concerts and after hours. Typically has a lot of room after 2am. Speakers are loud but we love the sound there!

Great for shows to be close by the artist and not too far from the bathrooms. Sound was great, staff was nice and crowd (Opiou) was solid. Drinks are annoyingly expensive like most clubs but I don’t understand why. Splash a little liquor and soda super inconsistent and takes 4 seconds but shell out around 15 a pop. Cmon… Even a lone star is priced like an electric jellyfish. If they’re trying to keep higher end clientele I guess I get it but you’re going to have a crowd of douches that don’t cheer for the artist and are too busy taking videos of themselves. I’ll go again for sure but will remember to drink before or bring a brah with beer in it lol

Came for Seth Troxler after the last day of Texas Eclipse was cancelled. The sound was great and the lights were really well done. Staff were really nice and the drink prices were not bad for a club. Overall a great experience here. My only complaint was that it was a little hard to find the entrance in the alley

Great night club, Always bangers, The front is super nice, The vibes. the AC oofff. But the bar tenders could be a little nicer. Somewhat Aholeish attitude....but besides that amazing venue always a good time.

When you set up concerts make sure you state ages correctly, and clearly. My son bought tickets and we drove 5 hours for him to not be able to get in!!! Tickets are not refundable and thats pretty sad. Either make it clear, or make sure you can allow your younger fans watch and band them so they cannot be sold alcohol. Topping that he tried to call and reach this venue multiple times before buying the tickets to double check the age and was never able to reach a person to answer any questions.

The bartenders are RUDE. Wouldn’t serve water, wouldn’t close out a tab, wouldn’t help us find the bathrooms. Really worsened the atmosphere of the venue. They were too busy on their phones to actually provide service.

Would not recommend wasting your time or money coming here. The owners and security staff are very rude and go on a power trip. Payed $60 to get in just to get kicked out 5 minutes later over a misunderstanding. Security snatched buddy’s phone in an attempt to bully us and when we asked for our money back since we were being kicked out they threatened to get physical with us saying they out number us a and can beat us up Very unprofessional establishment and the security think they can harass people

Mini concourse project!The production and sound are really really good for such a small club. It looked very similar to concourse. Miss Monique debut was awesome. It was not that crowded for Saturday night but I had to stand in the line for 30mins to get insidePlease provide free water or at least paid water. I got sparkling water from the bar as they did not have normal water.Overall a nice club which needs minor improvements.

I have missed Kingdom! This has been long overdue to open again and Im so glad its still downtown and in a prime spot. Drinks are expensive but thats expected downtown. I love the staff there and the vibe is great! I super appreciate the door girl, we even share the same name. I lost my tickets and she was super nice helping me locate them on my phone and was super fast letting others in while she helped me.

Review №16

I dont want to trash this venue because I do like it, its definitely a different vibe than Concourse; but I recently came for a DJ from my hometown and was pretty shocked to find youre charging $22 for a Casamigos and soda? Sorry, too much by about $5. Also, your liquor selection is half of what I remember it being. Whats up? Not a fan of bathroom attendants either. Dont need to feel guilted into tipping someone for blocking the paper towel and soap dispenser. I spent $180 on 8 drinks. Thats too much. Next time Ill sneak in a soft flask of tequila and spend $0. Just being honest.

Matt, the manager at Kingdom, was absolutely amazing last night! I have a nerve injury in my leg and needed special accommodations to be able to enjoy the show without it leaving me in more pain. Matt was so responsive and thoughtful, really went above and beyond. I wish all venues were as awesome at helping injured patrons be able to enjoy the show/night. Give him a raise!

Review №23

Been going to Kingdom at least once a month since the Barely Alive show back on January 28th. It is always a great time & the talent they book is consistently impressive (specifically in the Bass/Dubstep scene). Danny, the bartender, is absolutely amazing at his job & a super cool human. He is attentive & consistent. I have autism & was having a rough time at the Vampa show back in May & he took it upon himself to check on me every time he had the chance. Such a positive experience for me. I would like to note that all other staff are amazing & I have not had a negative experience with them at all.My only complaint about kingdom is that they don’t have screens//LED wall on the stage which is a relatively expected feature for EDM shows. I think a great way to change this would be to add a 3rd type of ticket for the free shows. There is the Free, Guaranteed Entry, but if y’all added a ticket that was $15 with $10 going towards some sort of visuals— I would gladly pay every time I go. Space Wizard recently brought his own LED wall & it was a complete game changer for the experience.Thank y’all for providing an excellent venue with consistently great talent booked.

Review №26

Top tier venue. They pull in the best up and coming DJs and plenty of well known ones as well. The sound system is incredible, and the lighting setup works really well for the vibe they’re going for. No, there’s nowhere to “sit down” or huge screens in your face. This is a proper venue for electronic dance music and raves. If you want a place to sit down with huge screens go to Moody and watch some triple A artist play radio hits

Jo
Review №27

One star for the acts they book one for lighting but beyond that, lots of room for improvement. I will continue to come to shows here because they are one of the only venues that book underground electronic acts. Whoever is handling their booking needs a raise (or maybe take your talents to another venue :)) However every time I’ve been, the VIP is completely empty and yet you cannot sit or even squat on the ledge without immediately being told to get up. Respectfully management needs to be humbled and understand that seating (and free, easily accessible water) are what makes a good venue great and SAFE. I understand it is a dance club but having minimal seating when NO ONE has booked VIP anyway is not going to ruin the vibe. lighting setup is really dope. Sound quality is decent depending on where you are on the dance floor… It’s loud yes but as you bop around you will pick up on the imbalances and harshness of the sound system very quickly so PLEASE wear high fidelity earplugs!!! Lots of potential at this spot so hoping they see their reviews and make some adjustments 🫶🏼

Review №28

Sound was great….that’s all that was good about Kingdom.Overall this venue sucks. No visuals, just lights against a metal cage shining into your eyes and the crowd. No flow props allowed in either.After Minnesota played an amazing bass set, Kingdom immediately sent an after hours DJ up to play a completely different genre. It was so disrespectful, but hey I guess Kingdom got that extra money.I will not be coming back. 👎🏽👎🏽

Review №34

Solid enough venue downtown. Good sound system and lighting. If you’re going for a show, get there with a decent amount of lead time (30 mins+). Showed up for at 10:30 for a show starting then and waited in line for 40 minutes to get in. Only venue feedback would be go a little easier on the bright bright light segments during the sets.

04/20/2023Pros:- Great sound system- Cool lighting effects- Clean bathrooms- Friendly staff- Nearby food truck areaCons:- Small-Medium size venue- Sketchy middle of an alleyway entry.(Make sure you know where youre going before leaving because unless they get a line, you wont find the front door of Kingdom accidentally)- Overpriced and super weak cocktails- Tiny cocktails- Watered-down shotsBe aware that their system tries to make you tip by default, so if youre not paying attention during checkout, you may find yourself tipping when you dont want to(I dont tip for weak drinks, so I found this super annoying)______________I drank 3 things before giving up (3 strikes never going order alcohol here again).- Green tea shot [$12]+tax- Single Tequila shot (straight) [$10]+tax- Long-Island [$18]+tax (Smallest Ive ever seen)$40+tax and I may as well have been drinking water.

I’m not going to lie Austin needs a better edm night club. Overpriced drinks, no screen, lights are mediocre, and the vibe is meh as well. I just go cuz it’s the only place that has a lot of edm shows. Go if you are about the artist that is playing other than that I would stay away. Only positive thing is the nice lady at the front that gives the wristbands.

Review №37

Watch out for the bartenders. I watched one tip the highest amount on my card without asking me. They are also extremely rude when I asked for some water. They don’t have freely available water so you have to ask bartenders. For how hot it is and all the dancing it’s unacceptable. The bartender who tipped himself was Danny

Review №39

Not a fan, definitely my least favorite venue out of all the ones Ive been to in Austin. There is nowhere to sit, its claustorphobic. They got a good lighting setup but its oddly bright and doesnt look that great with how low the fixtures are from the ceiling. It was also insanely loud, was unbearable without ear plugs. Their soundsystem is really good but at the volume they play at, it doesnt sound so great. If you do come here, bring ear plugs.

Review №41

I was just thinking about how much I like this place now that they relaxed the policy on “being in the vip section” until I sat on the banquet to help a girl who wasn’t feeling good. Security came and told us we couldn’t sit because it was “reserved”. Well, it’s 1am and clearly NOT reserved… and I’ve seen a dozen people sitting who didn’t have VIP. Pretty lame Kingdom. Time to realize you’re not the that kinda club.

Review №42

Ive been to a lot of good EDM shows. This was not one of them. First off, the lights. Too many of the wrong color really just ruined the vibe. It should be dark in a venue like this, but it felt like the end of the night when they turn all of the lights on and tell you to get out... During the show.Next up, drinks. $50 for a double shot of tequila? Yikes. $7 for a can of water? No thanks.Then the music. While some of the individual songs were good, the mixing was just plain awful.And finally, the crowd. I wouldnt come here expecting your standard EDM crowd. It seemed like a bunch of sloppy drunk party goers.The bouncer checking IDs was really nice though, props to him.Otherwise, would not recommend.

Review №47

I went to see Flux Pavillion. The venue said the doors were at 9pm or so, and the concert didnt come on until after 1 am or even 2 am. I dont know because I did NOT stay that long because the communication from the venue was so poor that we wanted to leave as we were not able to stay up that late. If they indicated that the band would have come on that late, i would have no issue with it being that late. The communication was very terrible and I will never go to this venue again.

Sound, service, staff were awesome. We were there for a sold out show, so the place was crowded. It is small, but great vibe all around. There is a place by the wall to sit you drink and hang your jackets. Parking lot is right across the street.

One of the best venues for EDM in Austin. They pull in great talent from all over, but are a bit biased towards house and techno. The sound system is great and the lights are the best in town.

The space is cool and the music was great for after hours.Im just a little annoyed at how they ask for payments at the door, so Ill explain it so people arent surprised like I was! When wanting to skip the line (if you want to- not necessary though) expect to pay $20 a person cash. Once inside, theyll ask for another $20 to get in. It was a little surprising because they made it seem like the $20 outside was the cover, but it is not. It felt a little like a scam, but thats nightlife. Over all, I think just going home after the other bars is a better idea than spending $40 to get into a bar.Other than that, music was great and there was a lot of space to dance without being crowded.

This is a nice, small club! I love the lighting system they have in place. The lounge are off to the wall is very modern! Crazy to see that major acts come through here! This place can get really packed, so buy your tickets online and be there an hour early before the show! Oh, one thing I really like about this place is that they have a water cooler on the outside of the bar, so you dont have to go up to the bar to get a cup of water! Small things make the biggest impacts!

They charge $5 for bottled water (which is all they have) and they refill the bottles with tap water. It was exactly like drinking from my apartments kitchen sink. The drinks are ridiculously expensive any night of the week too.Also coming out of the main entrance after an event I choked on second hand pepper spray from a fight that was going on. Theres a violent fight basically every time we go here.5 stars for the artists that play here, the music is great. Its a shame well never come to this garbage can of a venue again.

I attended the grand opening of Kingdom about a week ago, featuring DJs Gabriel & Dresden. Not since I moved to Austin from New York City a year ago have I felt so at home at a club, with the vibe, and the great drink prices. Not only are they bringing top notch international DJ talent to Austin, they have incredibly reasonable drink specials like $3 for Fireman 4 or $5 for Hornitos margaritas. Most nights there arent even charging a cover charge!!They had to have put a lot of money into the place with the incredible lighting and cool architectural design, so hopefully they can keep up the free cover and low drink prices for as long as they are open....which I hope is a very very long time.

He ended up outside, and we got robbed by some color people, and security didnt do anything. The Kingdom stuff escalated the situation.

Is this a gay club adverstied as a straight club? Nothing but dudes and gay German techno music. Lines were long, drinks prices seemed like a I was trying to get scammed by a Nigerian prince and the whole place smelled like piss on top of that.

Review №105

Kingdoms a late night kind of place. Once youve been drinking a while and want to really let loose and dance the rest of the night away. Late night bar of choice, especially because it stays open later than many other bars. The thing about Kingdom though, is that unlike other late night bars, this bar doesnt have that skeeze factor a lot of others do. People respect your space for the most part and just dont want the night to end. I can dig that.

Review №106

If youre a girl, be wary of going to the free shows (and sometimes even the $5 shows) because there will definitely be creepers, stalkers, and generally weird dudes there. I mean even if youre a dude, its a weird vibe. But the 15 dollar shows on up are almost always good times. Lots of variety of DJs including even ATB, AC Slater, and Branchez more recently. Pretty small venue, but that just means extra amplified bass. :D Anyways yeah, definitely check it out.

Walking into Kingdom is like walking onto the set of The Running Man if you replaced Ahhhnold with a teeming mass of sweaty twenty-somethings and a driving bass line. Its dark, smoky (well, fog-machine-y), and LOUD so be sure and pack some earplugs or youll be yelling HUH? at everyone you talk to for the next 3 days. They do manage to bring in some excellent DJs, however, so give it a shot the next time you feel like getting lost in the future (as envisioned by the eighties).

Great sound system, awesome lights, but the bass is way too loud, even for all of my friends wearing etymotics. Can yall turn it down just a tiny little bit and make this the best club evar?

Great club. All prasie, no complaints other than the white kid taking money at the front that accused me of calling his coworker a gangbanger. He repeated it loudly to garner attention... (coworkers seemed unimpressed) What a shame he couldnt actually listen to what was being said. Other than him, 10/10. Bring back Jeremy Olander.

Awesome trance and dance music. They usually have a new DJ every weekend. I find it weird that they close the club off to the public about 2 then reopen at 230 though.

I like the NY club feel to this place. The entrance is through the alley and usually there is a cover. They always bring awesome djs and producers here. Thanks Team!

Great sound system and quick/knowledgeable staff! Ive been coming to Kingdom for four years and it will always be one of my favorite venues.

Honestly I just spent $20 to watch a bunch of middle age dudes shuffle around to some of the worst electronic music Ive ever heard. Ill give them the benefit of the doubt, and take it as an off night or a bad DJ, but you wont see me back there. Nope!

Hey, it was asking for atmosphere, decor, and service. This place is for partying, not having an afternoon coffee in a dimply lit room with friendly wait staff. Well, pretty much any drug you have ever tried, thought of trying, or never heard of, youll find it here.

Cool spot that’s open late downtown but the A/C wasn’t working the last time we were there! It was really hot and stuffy

They have some good shows here. But its crowded, the drinks are expensive, and if the DJ has visuals, youll never see them.

Best Spot for Electronic Dance Music SHOWS! Hands down RealMusic Events and Kingdom Austin know how to take care of the dance scene.

I dig the after hours deal, speakers were great. The only reason i wouldnt say 5 star is because the age group is a bit young.

A very special place...Most notable for me, the thriving scene of local talent, combined with dedicated clubbers, which is all made possible through the efforts and vision of the talented,genuine owner/manager, partners, and staff...Techno Afterhours at its finest !!!

Look for one of your favorite DJs from around the world to perform here. The inside of the club is pretty much one big dance floor for fun times.
