I love 13th Floor and come there often. Amazing bands and great environment! However, I wouldn't say this if it wasn't a constant that made me feel uncomfortable, but there's a guy going by John Espana who claims he's doing security that makes me feel super uncomfortable and makes inappropriate comments.

This place is a gem with an inviting, spacious vibe that’s perfect for enjoying drinks! The atmosphere strikes an ideal balance—lively yet relaxed, making it great for any occasion. The bartenders are truly exceptional, crafting flawless cocktails with skill and charm, elevating the entire experience. Highly recommend for a memorable night out!

13th floor, an excellent music venue in town.
This place does a great job booking. Really good bands, and there is usually a cover, but that's dependent on the band. Occasionally, you can see a free show there but it's not super often.
Be sure to bring some of ear plugs, they play it loud in here. Maybe the sound guy is hearing impaired. 🤣
The bartenders there are friendly and pretty fast, I asked them to make me a ranch water and it was quite tasty. The drinks there are relatively expensive compared to other venues, but not too far above the typical Austin downtown range.

The bartenders and owner we so accommodating , lovely, and friendly. Felt like I made new friends after only being there for two nights, def go check it out!
I attempted to contact the business directly about this experience but they unfortunately never responded. This was many months ago because I wanted to wait and process my experience before I wrote this review.
I saw that a band I liked was playing here, so decided to take myself out to see them. I had been here a few times before. It was a weekend night. I parked and walked up and down Red River just to check out what else was going on in the area before I committed to paying a cover. I walked past The 13th Floor, then ultimately came back a few minutes later.
I walked up to the door guy smiling. The door guy asks me if there’s something I’m looking for tonight. I wasn’t exactly sure what he meant, or if he was referencing the fact that he saw me walk by already, so I said “not really, just sort of seeing what’s going on! No real direction or plans!” He responds, “that’s sad.” That was a strange response to me so I didn’t really acknowledge it. I hand him my ID, and he says “so, since you aren’t here to see the bands, do you plan on paying for anything or are you just going to be hustling people for drinks all night?”
I was completely shocked by this. I could not understand where that was coming from. The only conclusion I could draw was he saw me as a single woman in a short skirt and immediately assumed I was there to “hustle people for drinks”???? Which, by the way, last time I checked, men buying single women drinks at a bar is like 95% of the bar economy so I’m not sure why that would even be a problem as long as the bartenders are still getting tipped. I was silent for a long time trying to process this comment. I assumed his ultimate fear was that I was trying to get in without paying anything, which was strange because we hadn’t even talked about a cover yet. I eventually said “is there not a cover??” to which he responded, “yes, there’s a cover but we’re just having a conversation here.”
Once again, completely befuddling. I never once implied I was unwilling to pay a cover or have a conversation about said cover. I said, “is [band name] not playing here tonight??” He responded, with this weird sort of feigned surprise, “Oh, so you are here to see the bands!!!” I pay the cover and go in, but at this point am shaking with anger.
I am a thirty year old woman but was treated like a 17 year old scamming street urchin. It has been a long time since I’ve been belittled like that. I will only return here as seldom as possible to support the bands I like, but do not plan on purchasing anything. Hell, maybe next time I will “hustle people for drinks all night.”

I really wanted to come into this bar but the red head male bouncer refused to allow my sister to come in with a valid texas 21+ ID. the bouncer even verified the ID with a black light flash light but still denied us access to the venue. super disappointing!!! have never had this experience in austin :(

immediately assumed i was under 21 & when i showed a Texas State issued ID, the ginger bouncer at the door still wrongfully refused my ID. even after scanning it with a black light flash light & seeing it was real, still denied service.
