Great music and cute vibe

Random Rants By Vicious Kitty

One of the first place I visited after becoming an austin resident..

The bartenders were rude. The drinks were good though and fairly well priced.
I was attracted to the pictures from the Google reviews which was my whole reason to visit.

It was giving very 80s vaporwave vibes... I was a little disappointed as the place could use a good scrub down and some touch ups here and there. They are connected to the coconut club which is a bonus.

The music is hit or miss and the atmosphere is inclusive.

Don't waste your money. On vacation and this was our first stop last night. We started late, so I paid the cover and ordered a double vodka sprite at the downstairs bar to kick things off. $19 later and I was sipping on what tasted like straight up sprite and water. When I asked the bartender if he'd poured a double and told him it tasted like nothing, he said nothing he could do about it. We ended up ordering shots on the roof before bailing to go to Highland across the street instead, where the music, drinks, and vibe were way better.

Group went on 2/24, cover fee wasn’t bad only $10 but spent $26 for two lemon drops. Tasted like water bar tenders are ignorant worst drinks I’ve had in Austin. And they charged automatic gratuity of %20 on the two drinks. Music was all over the place DJ wasn’t the best. The highlight was that the bar is connected to coconut club and the music was way better

I see so many reviews about watered down drinks and this has NEVER been the case in my experience. The music quality depends on the night, which is to be expected from any club. The decor is top notch. The bartenders are friendly and make great drinks. As a local, this is my most frequented spot! This club is for everyone- straight, gay, queer, trans…it’s an awesome vibe and have never had a bad experience here in 5+ years. Thanks for all the good memories, neon grotto ?

This place was pretty cool. There are so many places to go in this area. I would like to come back when it’s a little warmer to check out the roof top

I didn't know they served food here. I went here for Halloween and the vines were real. Real techno/house, and hip-hop/rap on the other side. Not the usual pop techno mixes, like real viby stuff. I definitely recommend.

This place is a vibe and a half. I left my knife at a bar and couldn't remember the name. Asked a bouncer on 6th where a "queer friendly neon lit bar" might be and he told me coconut club, which I'm assuming is connected? Or not. Either way ended up here. Wasn't the place I was searching for but I thank him for his incorrect guess.Love a bar with some karaoke and a photo booth. Drinks sucked but under all the neon lights and memories I made, it didn't even matter. 10/10 spot to socialize and have a good time.

Would leave no stars if I could. The place was absolutely empty besides the group I was with. The bartender yelled at me to get away from the bar so people could order drinks (again no one was there). He proceeded to flip me off when I was leaving later. It is extremely unprofessional to be treated that was by staff.

Came here on a mix up and got a few drinks. Maybe the bartender was having a bad night because all of my drinks were so light and watery I never even got a buzz. I watched them pour my drinks and i was definitely underserved each time as well. Also the dj upstairs was awful.
