My first time at Highland was a disappointment to say the least. The website seemed so promising for a gay bar in Texas, but it was the opposite. Was called the C-word trying to scoot past someone and was felt it was not a safe space for women. Oilcan Harry’s was super fun though and right down the street!

I was targeted here as if I was involved in nefarious actions for looking like of mixed heritage in my opinion by the management/ staff. I have been hate crimed in multiple public spaces and I did not imagine that this would be another one. My sister was with me and we witnessed one of the employees following us after we left on July 5, 2025 for what seemed like 6 blocks. And then a guy in a black suv drove past me and smugly waved at me. These persons are organized abusers and do not belong in these spaces were people enter to live their personal lives.

I mean this is the place to go if you want to dance the night away and maybe get into a little fun trouble. But it always feels like the bartenders are preying on people here. Extra drinks I didn't order or even straight up gouging. Bought 4 drinks just simple vodka and soda and was charged 150 dollars everyone in the group ordered rounds and got charged differently.

Rudest service that I have experienced. It’s a bar and not asking for someone to be your best friend but from the time we asked for a bottle of water to returning someone’s lost ID he was horrible. If this is the expectation for the establishment I would go somewhere else if you are visiting.

I don’t recommend it at all. The service is so bad is so hot like you are in hot tub and the whole club. They have just one fan and also the charge for the water 5$

Decent, if it's the only place you're going to spend the night. Some of the bartenders suck, and some of them are quick and amazing. Lol...for $10 cover, I want all of the bartenders to be quick and amazing.

GARBAGE bar. Check your bank statements the next day and you'll see (like many others before me have reviewed), the bartenders are thieves. They rang my card and my partner's card for hundreds of dollars of drinks we didn't order. They werent even smart enough to space out the transactions. Bank caught it immediately and flagged the charges.
The best experience in Austin
