Gay Bars in Austin, TX

“Don't feel like "the eagle"“

“My partner and I have been coming to OCH for years. It’s our favorite LGBTQIA+ bar. The staff are outstanding! Joey, Natalie, Kristen, Ariel, Diamond, Steven, etc. Joey is our favorite bartender in Austin! He’s in the back patio but they’re all exceptional! Come check out OCH, you won’t regret it!“

“I went during kind of a dead period. It was early on a Friday. The food was really great though. I had a chicken wrap. The star of the show though, was my bartender, Josh. He was really sweet and just conversed with me. I was having sort of a rough day..my father passed away recently and I needed a day away. He made me feel seen and heard. It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life and I appreciate him for it.“

“Great bartenders. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming“

“Absolutely love Rain! The vibe is always fun and energetic, but what really made the night stand out was the incredible service from Matt behind the bar. He was friendly and every drink he made was spot on. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone is having a great time. If you’re in Austin, Rain is a MUST! Huge shoutout to Matt!!!“

“Incredible staff and an amazing lineup of drag shows and community events. The energy at Highland is always welcoming, fun, and inclusive. Whether you’re there to dance, enjoy the performances, or just hang out with friends, the atmosphere makes everyone feel part of the community. One of Austin’s best nightlife spots for queer events and entertainment.“
