  1. We came here on Friday night. The venue has a lot of potential: it reminded me of W hotel in LA, especially the little pool. The music was good, the crowd is ok, little douchey, but enough room to dance, especially on the second floor which was literally empty. They are “dress to impress” style, very Vegasy. Though the fish tank on the second floor should be removed. It’s an animal abuse. Think of that loud noise that fish has to deal with. Just fill it up with skulls.

  2. Totally marvel Vegas style hangout. Came here on a saturday night and headed to the top floor. Awesome view as far as Austin goes, lackluster if youre used to a bigger skyline like SF or Dallas.

    Interesting aspects of the bar include small swimming pool/dance floor. Have heard that pool is open on sundays. I didnt check out the other floors, but top floor has palm trees, strobe lighting and music remixes a plenty. There are also a ton of scantly clad ladies roaming the upstairs if that’s what youre into.

    Seems like a good bachelor party location. Would recommend hitting this place late, around 1230 for the dancing to start.

  3. I came here to Sunday Funday and had a blast.
    Now keep in mind, I was looking to party. Yes it’s true that they let the girls in before they’ll let guys in and they usually charge the guys a $10 cover. It’s not really an Austin scene that the bar across the street offers you. It’s defiantly upscale. I mean their well liquor is Tito’s.
    They have a pool in the middle of the floor and usually girls are running around in bikinis. It’s like an episode of Entourage on the roof. I bought bottle service (yes I was that person) and everyone is so nice. It was a blast. The views from the roof are awesome and honestly security is on their game. They remove anyone who is getting too sloppy or rowdy really quickly.
    Yes it’s very different than the other bars in Austin but I really think it’s exactly what this town needs. Sometimes I want to go to a bar where people shave and wear deodorant, sometimes I want to feel like I’m on an episode of Entourage. This place will do it for you.
