The was the first time checking out the bar. I'm glad a 90s group was performing there that night cause it was good music to listen too while chilling with a friend. I liked the seating area as well. Even though I didn't dance the dance floor was a decent size.

Fun place to go to as a group. Most of the time their website is down so you can't sign up early online. Sometimes they host events so you can't get a room during that which is frustrating. It's hard to tell when those events are since their website barely works. You might end up like us and drive over an hour to go to celebrate a birthday just to be told to wait for an hour because of an event going on downstairs.

This was my first time at the highball. I went to see the mortified show. The show was great. The venue was amazing. The bar staff left a lot to be desired. They weren’t very helpful or kind. Would it kill them to smile at the customers.

I went to The Highball last night to see Mortified, and the show itself was fantastic. Unfortunately, the bar staff really dampened the evening. The bartenders were noticeably rude, snappy, and dismissive when taking orders. It made the atmosphere less welcoming than it should have been.
The entertainment was great, but the service definitely needs work.

Went to the 90's Party. Zootopia the band was on point. The Bar staff was friendly but seemed short staffed which created quite a queue for drinks.

The venue is nice and the entertainment is cool but what really rubbed me wrong was that all tabs have an automatic 18% gratuity added and they didn't tell me nor did they have it written on the menu. My drink was priced at $13 and came to $16.60 i tipped $3. When I asked about the price difference the bar tender pulled a small notice teepee from behind the bar and informed me that the menus arnt updated yet but that the 18% gratuity was added to call bills. Then he put the info teepee back behind the bar where no one can see it. Seems illegal and sketchy

I love everything about this place! I had the honor of performing here and it’s always an awesome time. The staff is extremely accommodating, professional and amazing. Someone who really stood out to me was Delta. She was always extremely sweet and attentive, my go to bartender everytime! You’re missing out if you haven’t stopped by the Highball.

Honestly one of the coolest hangs in all of Austin! The events they host, the food they serve, the drinks they make… it’s all 10 out of 10! Delta, the best bartender in all of Austin, is usually behind the bar. She makes a mean spicy margarita! I’m not kidding when I say they have the BEST chicken tenders I’ve ever had. This place is a MUST!!

I am so impressed and had such an amazing 25th birthday here at the Highball. I am so thankful to our server Wes - he is absolutely INCREDIBLE and made me and my guest feel so special and well taken care of. I can’t recommend him enough. We had such a great time. We booked the Big Top room and had amazing food/drink service. I can’t wait to celebrate or come again just for fun. I truly can’t thank the staff and Wes enough for taking care of us and I am truly thankful. Highly recommend for group karaoke!

An awesome place to do karaoke! The themed rooms are a lot of fun and they recently expanded their song library substantially. They also have great shows and events so if you are looking for something different with a great vibe and g9od service I highly recommend it!
I didn't have anything to eat, but the place has a chill vibe like none other.

I love this place, but seriously, PLEASE do some thing about the spotlights blinding everybody shining from the stage. They are completely unnecessary and none of the staff there appear to be able to do anything about them.

Went there for the Drag Show Game Show, and it was a ton of fun! Great for all group sizes. Pizza and the fried pickles were delicious as well, good bar snacks!
