9 months ago Lively Austin classic—drag shows, dancing, easy mixer crowd, and you can hop to Rain next door if it’s packed. Good meet spot if you’re in town for SXSW or ACL and want to hit the 4th St strip. If you’re visiting solo and want a local host to show you around, start at my site for screening: https://rentbobby.com. - awesome music - cute bartenders - fun crowd - rowdy - strong drinks

THE FUN HOUSE

LOVE THE ENERGY HERE, THEY ALWAYS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE FAMILY. IT IS ALSO FUN TO WATCH THE FACES OF THE STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE VISITING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY SEEM ALWAYS AMAZED AT WHAT TALENT AND FUN WE HAVE. GREAT PLACE TO GO ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS. JAMEELAH

Too busy

When you have to wait 20 to 25 minutes to get a drink that's too many people in the bar for me

Awesome bar that does not belie it's age

I've been here 21 years ago and it has basically not changed in the layout. But don't let that stop you. The staff is AWESOME!! I cannot say more, They are friendly, know their customers and take care of them. As an older gay man I was not only made to feel welcome but I had a wonderful time the weekend I hit this bar. This is officially an Austin institution you should check out. * * *
