Dance! Dance! Dance! They have goth night on Saturday, 80’s music on Sunday, and off-the-beaten-path performances throughout the week. We love the size, space, and staff at this popular venue.

If you want to get away from the prim & proper take a stroll into this character-filled dance club. The drinks are strong & cheap and the clientele will not disappoint.

Great music, awesome DJs, great service, and the best damn dance club there is! Many nights have no cover and loads of amazing dark music. <3

The best 80s and Gothic club in Austin. A very friendly place to see DJs and concerts.

Great dive bar/venue (reminds me of the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS. Cool decor and they even have pinball games! Skip the line at the main bar by going to the downstairs bar by the pool tables! Read more

We really hope you're not wearing open-toed shoes. We also really hope you don't use the restroom. Most of all, we really hope you romp until your heart's content.

Great venue with friendly bartenders and cheap drinks. The ultimate bonus? Original cabinet games and mega Jenga on the patio!

The only way we've figured out how to beat the heat in this AC-free venue is to keep the cold beverages flowing. Drink up and get down!

Ask for Mike H at the bar. He makes a mean mixed drink.

Cool 90s music, but the bartenders were a bit odd.
