Beautiful and upscale bar. Excellent mixed drinks and happy hour specials. Although I did have a bite yo eat, the patron next to me ordered some great aromatic food. Went to see The Palacio Brothers play their blues music. It was fabulous 👌

Maggie Mae’s has a great rooftop patio. The service was great and they had live music playing on the ground floor. It was a lot of fun!

Stopped by because I saw a sign that said cheapest drinks on 6th street. They weren’t lying at all. Went from paying $9 for a well drink to $2 on a Tuesday. Also saw some good live music from James Hearne. The bartender Michael was very nice and knowledgeable. Kept me entertained throughout the night.

I came here as a part of a business trip where the after conference celebration was held. The location was beautiful with a wonderful rooftop bar & view. They also had live music playing, and a lot of great food. The drinks were good and the bartender was very fast, overall it was a great time. I will say that walking back to my hotel from this location in the later part of night wasnt the greatest experience, just because this is a Bar filld street with a bunch of late night activities. However the walk back was fine, you just need to be aware of your surroundings.

Do NOT GO HERE. Ladies bathroom disgusting. No toilet paper, wet pissy floors, Door are full of gunk. Paid $42 for 3 drinks to be nothing but soda.. Told the bartender he saidok.. lol never again.

We were trying to find a relatively quiet bar with good love music on the 6th and thats exactly what we found. The live band was amazing, performed a number of great songs. Pretty chill. The drinks are not the best though.

Loser DJ. The DJ left his booth: left a the music on autopilot. Like the 1& year old child he is. . Who does not know how to read the crowd. This uncle wnd dad seem to be running the front door. If you want an 18 year old privilege ride white child; stop by. If you want to explore Austin- keep walking.

I would totally recommend going to this place when you visit Austin. Though this place has long waiting line to get it, it is totally worth the wait. There is plenty of open area as well as covered seating inside. Grab a drink and enjoy the music!

Took the wife to Austin for her birthday and spent time at Maggie Maes. We enjoyed the live music downstairs for a while then headed upstairs to people watch the folks on 6th street from the balcony. The staff was friendly and we really enjoyed the place. We will be back.

One of the better bars on 6th (in my opinion). It is pretty large, has a great stage downstairs, typically filled by an awesome band. Also has a great upstairs covered area overlooking 6th where you can people watch.

The office ! a regular place to have a beer and get a good serving of blues. still missing the old guy with his guitar. last time in Austin it was closed for renovations.. maybe next passing through they will be open again. a place to recommend, although the roof part can get crowded in weekends.. and spring break time.. :)

Probably the best bar on Dirty 6th. Lots of people but lots of space. Service is usually pretty quick for a packed place. Overhanging the street with friends is great. 2 stages as well so you can choose what kinds of music youd like to choose from. I have always had a good time.

One of my favorite bars. The drinks arent exactly the best priced in the area. The atmosphere is really good to meet friendly new people and have a good time. There is also rooftop access to look down upon all the other drunkards as they stumble around 6th street. No cover and open seating upstairs. Great place.

Maggie Maes is a great place to check out on 6th. Great music and a great place to enjoy a night out. It can get busy at times but there is plenty of room, especially upstairs. Some nights theyll have a band playing downstairs and a DJ upstairs. I definitely enjoy my time whenever Im there. Definitely would recommend!

Great 6th street hang out. Plenty of live music and areas to hang out inside and out. The drinks are reasonably priced and include a nice selection of local beers. Great view from the rooftop. Good service too. There are a couple of TVs if you dont want to look at your friends.

Great music and fun atmosphere! The lead guitarists allowed some younger musicians in the crowd play and it was awesome!! They were all very talented and it was nice to not see the crabs in the bucket mentality, Austin truly lives up to the hype as the music capital.

Review №31

The live music by The Genders drew us in, we really enjoyed jamming out with these guys. However, with all the other bars having great live music....the drink prices at this venue are pretty steep. A shot of Patron and one very small and watered down cherry vodka sour cost $17.....went to The Library (bar, not books) up the road and purchased the same deal for significantly less.

A nice venue to have a drink, and soak in the atmosphere of the location. On a warm Austin night it is great venue to have a local beer and watch the tourists and bucks/hens parties having a good time.It is perched above a street full of characters, and gives you a birds eye view into other locations across the road.Well worth a visit.

Great bar, atmosphere of rooftop, and extremely good service considering the crowd! But to be honest this place is extremely overrated and very overcrowded. Some reason the line here is always ridiculously long. Theres lots of bars that offer same amenities and no wait (which wait time and fire regulations isnt Maggie Maes fault). But always will have a place in my heart 💗

I had one of the best nights of my life in Austin, Texas at Maggie Maes on a Sunday (tonight). Staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming to some out of town (slightly crazy) friends I had come in with. My experience there has made sure Ill forever adore this place. Great band, great staff, and just an amazing place overall. I only suggest you not go there because then there is more room for me :). Thank you soooo much Maggie Maes!!!

Review №39

What a great place to hang out downtown - I went here for a bachelor party with my bros, and got a tonne of whiteclaws.Of course the night only got better and better as the bar staff was quick and the DJ played progressively better music thorough the night. The only reason. I dock 1 star is because the claws were a bit more expensive than wed like.

Review №40

Horrible customer service. We stopped at this bar for one drink. A friend I was with was over charged by the blond bartender. We asked for the price and if she could just refund us the few dollars and she was extremely rude and unreasonable. She told us to leave. She was so mad that we questioned it that she served a guy next to us a beer and slammed it down so hard the liquid spewed out everywhere! We wanted to finish our drinks before leaving, especially because we paid EXTRA ( no reimbursement ) She proceeded to get management which were a joke. It was 2 men and they asked us to leave so we were literally pushed and shoved out of this ridiculous establishment. They were so aggressive that my wrist is bruising today. Overall this place was horrible. I would never return nor would I recommend to anyone.

Review №41

My husbands band played here for four hours on September 9. The bartender took my husbands credit card for a tab, but when my husband paid the $16.24 tab with a $20.00(keep the change) the bartender charged our debit card the bill PLUS a two dollar tip!! He was rude, complained about everything and incredibly unprofessional. Worst bartender experience ever and we’ve been doing this eleven years now.

Spacious, inside/outside bar that has quality singer song/writers on a side stage during the day and full bands at night. The bartenders were super laid back, and the beer and whiskey selection was diverse enough for anyone to find what they want.

The Staff is professional, and ftiendly.. They have a smoking area, smokers dont have to go outside.. The house sound was very good.. Upstairs they have aWideScreen for televised events.Also theres an outdoor overlook where you have a clear look at the comings, & goings of Sixth Str.. Sometimes this can be quite a show in itself, at night its always a sight to see.. Drink prices are the same as everyone else down there.. Maggie Maes is one of The Top Clubs on Sixth Street.

Review №46

Its the oldest and one of the most prestigious establishments in the downtown Austin area. There has been more talent come across their stage than and almost anywhere else. In an age where prerecorded music in common this place still host home grown live music every night of the week happy hr and primetime. Still reserving space for DJ and several bars within Maggie Maes has it all.

I was here years ago when I lived in Austin 84-87. Friends of mine in bands played here by the front door. Havent been on 6th Street for a long time since I live in Houston, but it bar looks the same. Id start here if I didnt know where else to go on 6th Street. You can always have a good time here. I thank them for supporting so many bands over the years.

One of the fee roof top bars on 6th. There is usually a live band, always crowded, and has some great views of the street. If you enjoy people watching this is the place for you.

Review №55

As I visit Austin, what I heard the most was to check out the bars on 6th street. I was quite disappointed that it looked pretty dead. But Maggie Maes caught my attention. It looked pretty clean, and the coolest thing is the singer that was performing there live! It made the place a better place to hang out and stay for drinks. I recommend it if you wanna chill, have drinks and enjoy some good music! =)

Review №56

Granted my visit was during SXSW but the door guys were pretty obnoxious and one of what seemed to be a female manager went up to an entire crowd of people and started grabbing and pushing them screaming telling them to leave. The layout does not make the most sense for a show venue as there is a ton of space but the sound and music playing was good. TI was performing as part of SXSW

Review №60

I honestly dont understand why so many people enjoy Maggie Maes. The line to get in is usually longer than most places, it is extraordinarily crowded, and the drinks are made with a quanitity served over quality served mindset. The crowd consists of recently-of-age frat boys, sorority sisters in too short dresses, and just gross guido types who love Top 40 jams. The last time I went, I waited 27 minutes for a drink. The bartender, who was actually really nice, gave me a free shot because he couldnt find a pen. Pass on it-- there are better nightlife options in Austin.

I wish I could give a review with zero stars. We came to Austin for the holiday weekend and Maggie Maes was our first stop when we got to 6th Street. We handed the door man our ids and he looked at my boyfriend and told him we should go next door because he looked like hed had too much to drink so we wouldnt be allowed inside. We had just gotten out of the car after a 6 hour drive. No wonder the place was empty with customer service like that. I manage a bar and am all for escorting people out that have had too much to drink, but to not even be allowed in the door was beyond unacceptable. I cannot wait to tell everyone to not waste their time going to such a despicable establishment.

Review №73

If I could give no stars I would. My boyfriend told me to sit on one of the couches on the second floor while he went to the bar for a drink. Five minutes later a bouncer came up and told me to sit straight as if I was his small child. So I sat up as he told me. Then he starts talking to me like Im drunk, high, and stupid. Ive never been talked to with such disrespect, and Ive served in the Marines for five long years. He then tells me to leave. I ask him why. He told me that I was too drunk. Ive never had a drink in my life. Ive never done drugs. I dont do poison. I told him that I needed to get my boyfriend. He calls the cops. I asked him his name. He told me Wison. By the time he told me that, the cops were already on the second floor. He told them that I was severely drunk and high. He said that I was sleeping on the couches and he had to violently shake me to wake me. I had to leave without my boyfriend. This was my first time on sixth street. Never going back. Do not get the hype.

We went to Maggie Maes on a visit to Austin just on a whim and were reminded again why Austin is so great. I had never heard of a singe person playing that night, but it was outstanding music. Planning to just stop in for a drink, we stayed for 4 hours listening to killer Austin blues, ending up with a night well never forget. Thanks Austin, and thanks to Maggie Maes.

One of the older, more famous places on this part of 6th St. Old architecture. You definitely have to check this place out if you havent before. You will see a large amount of rowdy college kids if you stay late. Some drunk girl threw a Red Bull at me last time I was here haha!

Review №92

A member of the security staff comes up to my two female friends, and informs them youre done, its time to leave. A little surprised by this since the two of them were quietly chatting at the second story railing, they question him. He then proceeded to start pushing the two towards the exit, again saying, your done ladies. Seeing this I run over to find out what possible reason this was happening. Apparently one had dropped a drink of the railing into the floor below. After a short back and forth with the security guard, me, the two girls, two more of my friends all started leaving.The security guard followed us as he and I went back and forth verbally. As we were exiting I was walking backwards towards the door. The verbal back and forth continued as he started shoving me in my chest in what seemed an attempt to knock me over. With each shove, I gently tapped the bill of his hat with my index finger.As we made it to the top of the stairs, I made one last quip to emasculate the smaller guy, and he attempted to ump over the railing to attack me. I put my hand out to stop him, gently grabbed his has and tossed it a few feet behind him in attempt to buy time and get out of Maggie Maes.A security guard was waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs. As I was about five steps from the bottom, the smaller security guard had ran down the stairs and attempting to tackle me from behind by jumping onto my back and choking me. I maintained my balance, trying to shrug him as I continued down the stairs. The older, balding security guard proceeds to come at me, and I grab his head with both hands to lock up. He begins punching my chest and sides. Still, I continue towards the door.As we get into the doorway, a third security guard from inside headbutts me in the side. This was my last conscious memory.From video I have seen and friend accounts, I was able to derive the following. A fourth staff member hit me as the gang drove me past the sidewalk and onto the street. Limp and motionless, the attacker continued to choke me for roughly ten seconds after I was already unconscious on the street. The gang proceeded to kneel on me shoving of any defendants, and ignoring any pleas for reason.A short time after coming to, I was informed by APD that Maggie Maes no longer wished to press charges on me

Fun environment but the drinks were mediocre at best and the staff was not the friendliest. Would probably avoid on my bar runs.

Youll love this if you dont mind underage kids stumbling over themselves spilling beer all over the place or if you dont mind the smell of dried vomit. Theres a reason they call it dirty 6th
