Where is the Best Hookup Spot in Austin, Texas?
This place is pretty consistent and fun for the most part. I think it’s a little difficult to get around sometimes if they’re busy, especially up and down the stairs. But I really enjoy their rooftop bar it gives you a chance to get some fresh air and look out downtown. I usually come here with a few friends for drinks and then go out to a place where you can actually dance. Six is more of a place for pre-drinking and visiting. Drinks are nicely made too.
I’ve been to this bar many times and it’s never failed to provide an excellent time. They have fun music, and I’ve only recently discovered the “Boom Boom Room” in the back for great dancing. It’s crowded, but full of good-looking people (albeit some are the yuppie-type). As far as the people who have had problems with their credit cards here, I personally never use a credit card at any bar. I only use cash for several reasons: A) I don’t trust myself with one when I’ve been drinking (I tip too much or forget my card at the bar), B) I don’t trust others with my card (especially when they know I’ve been drinking–easier to take advantage), and C)Having a set budget keeps me from drinking too much.Pros + great music, attractive people, great dancingCons – yuppies
The Continental Club is the BEST club in Austin. If you never made it to the Armadillo World Headquarters, check out Toni’s Hippie Hour on Tuesday nights. The Continental is the ONLY place in town where you can still get a feel for what the Armadillo World Headquarters was like–this is the magic of Toni’s Hippie Hour. The Continental Clus is the BEST club in town, that’s all there is to it. From Tuesday’s with Toni to the Blues Specialists on Fridays to the ELVIS Shows, Buck Owens Bash, and so on and so on, you can’t go wrong. The folks there are great, the atmosphere is great, and the crowds are great. Peanuts at happy hour. And don’t forget all the Classic Cars you’ll see!!!
I was in town for the Austin City Limits Festival. We were wandering downtown, and saw Fado’s and decided to give it a shot. It was ok, but I don’t think I would recommend it. I tried to order 3 different Irish beers, and each one got a blank starte from the waiter. We had to ask a few time for our water, and our water felt the need to tell us about how he was supposed to be at the ACL Festival, but had to work. The food was pretty good. Our napkins were damp from not being fully dried, and, while we were wating for our tab, we looked arounf and noticed how dirty the place was. But, the layout of the bar was cool, and it seemed like if there was a bit more effort put into the palce, it could be a rockin place to hang out, day or night.Pros + good locationCons – staff seems to not really care
