It is also bring your own drinks and food which is kind of cool because you have the choice to eat/drink what you please. We were in a medium size room that accommodates 12 people. It has the karaoke system along with books filled with songs in a few different languages, mainly asian languages but you can pretty much pull up any song you please because it's connected to youtube. it has a like a coffee table in the middle with benches going all around it against the walls. they provide you with provide you with two microphones and the sound is pretty good. The overall experience was fun. I would say the only vice is that it gets pretty warm in there and they said they had the AC on high. You can reserve by hourly slots I believe. Its in a plaza so they have plenty of parking.

It is definitely a classic Austin location that I hope will be around forever! I don't drink beer but they had some great drink specials for those who do. One of my friends was able to get a non-alcoholic beer, the other had a beer, and I had a couple of topo chicos. I think you can also order food there, but we didn't order anything. They also have decent parking options if not in their lot, on the street so we didn't have to walk too far. And I appreciated that Jane was playing at an earlier time. Her band's songs were oldies but goodies and they got several people out on the dance floor! I hope to find myself at Carousel Lounge again soon!

Very spacious inside. Drink prices are of a bygone era- they only sell beer and wine for alcohol options. Sound equipment was good I'm told. A classic spot.

We celebrated a friends birthday during a 80s party at The Highball (her birthday choice). Nothing…read morelike a girls night out + the birthday girl's husband. The Highball perfectly captures "Keep Austin Weird" persona. You can find a mixed customer crowd with some folks dressed in 80s attire and some not. The Highball is divided into three mains sections...dance floor & stage with bar, seating area inside and enclosed area near street level. The first part of the evening was registering for free parking, which was pain in the bootay! First you scanned a QR code in the garage. Next in the Alamo Drafthouse (apparently a sister property to The Highball) you were supposed to scan another QR in this kiosk. Unfortunately, that did not work. All the folks at the kiosks were experiencing the same degree of frustration. Then wahlah a UT student figured it out and then, showed me. News flash: Parking validation should not be this hard. The band was on point and their music excited the folks at The Highball...lots of dancing. My plan was to stay about 1.5 hours then head home. Well the birthday's girl husband booked a karaoke room. Yep, one hour of karaoke. Quite honestly, it was a ton of fun. We had other folks in our room, which upped the fun ante. Great people, great evening...positive birthday vibes.

My favorite place to go to in the entire Austin. This place is actually considered sacred in the…read morerave community because it is the only EDM venue in Austin that holds the number of people that it does. This place has also been rated the third best club in Austin several years in a row. They always manage everything so well despite the number of crowds they get. I've never waited longer than five minutes to get a drink at the bar. The Security staff is always so attentive and on top of everything. The staff checking everybody in is always happy polite and very pleasant to be around. I just can't wait for them to increase the height of their screen because as an avg girl who is 5.7" I never get to see any visuals or anything that happens on the stage or the screen. I recently went to silo and Dallas and did not have that problem at all because the screen was significantly higher. Concourse however really is home to the entire rave community not just in Austin, but in all of texas. This place will forever hold a special place in all of our hearts. They have an insanely delicious food truck that operates in the space outside that always delivers the best quality food. The only thing I would say about that specific food truck is that they seems scam me by taking advantage of intoxicated people through their tip system. The last time I went to pay, my suggested tip was defaulted at 25%, the next option was 30%, and the one after that was 35%. With how poor the rave community is, it is highly unfortunate to see that specific establishment, taking advantage of people who are under the influence and cannot make coherent decisions. This is of course, not a concourse problem, but a problem of that specific food truck operating in the backyard of Concourse.

Caught the Amelie Lens show here in March 2026 and wanted to write up a detailed review since I…read moreknow a lot of people (myself included, visiting from out-of-town) do their research before a night out. The venue is near the airport, which is a nice change of pace from fighting downtown traffic. Parking is available on-site, but note there's a fee; budget for that or factor in rideshare costs instead. The modular warehouse features varying floor plans and layouts with a large main room floor, upstairs mezzanine, two outdoor patios, and an adjacent field. The set was held inside, on the large main room floor. Two opening DJs got the crowd warmed up before Amelie Lens came on closer to midnight. The pacing felt right. I always wear hearing protection to music events. Keeping this in mind, the sound system was clean and powerful. Parallel screens running the length of the room, front to back, added a whole visual layer to the night. They clearly invested in getting the audio and visuals right. A detail worth mentioning for anyone planning to go is that there are free water dispensers set up in the back, which is a small thing that makes a big difference throughout the night. Staff were friendly and attentive all night. Service was smooth, and I never felt like the venue was understaffed or overwhelmed despite the crowd. Overall, this is a well-run venue with solid production value, thoughtful amenities, and a lineup that delivered. This is a room that respects the music. The sound and the flow of the night were perfect. Would happily come back for another set.

Young lady running the bingo is well organized and kept the games moving along. No cover (but the band will earn your tip, they are really good!) Food varies weekly (chili dogs when we were there). Go here if you are looking to have a great experience!

I've been to the Canary Roost a few times in the past and always enjoyed it but after my most…read morerecent visit, I WILL NOT return again. I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen in a long for some emotional support and Karaoke. I've been really struggling with my mental health, being around friends and singing really helps! When we arrived things were great. I had been dying to sing "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton but was worried someone may have already sang it since she just passed. The woman with red hair, hosting karaoke said someone already sang it but they already left so it was no big deal, they had been honoring Dolly all night. As the night went on, I was mostly focused on connecting with my friend. We had a few drinks and great conversation. Towards the end of the night, in a bar full of maybe 10 people, I asked to sing Whitney Houston's - I Will Always Love You but the host told me no. I asked why and she informed me that someone else had already sang it earlier. I asked if that person was still there and she said, "no, but I just can't let you sing it." I asked why I was able to do the Dolly version, which someone already sang, but I'm not allowed to sing Whitney's, her reply, "I'm sorry, I just can't let you do it." At this point, I chose another song. I've been singing karaoke in a public setting since age 10 and have come across many hosts on Power Trips with their own rigid rules that make entirely no sense. I don't feel it is right, but I let it go and sang a different song. At the end of the night when it was time to leave, I was feeling very dehydrated. I consistently feel this way, some of the medication's I take cause this. Typically I carry a large water bottle but I forgot it so I asked the bartender for a water to go. The blonde female bartender, whose name I don't recall, told me it is illegal for them to give out water to go. A few of us around the bar expressed how strange of a law that is, and while the bartender agreed she said there was nothing she could do. So, I began, in a very playful manner, asking my friend if he'd sneak the water out of the bar with me. I told him water is nearly a medical requirement for me, and should I be "busted by the cops" I'm sure they would understand. I was laughing about how my dad would sneak beer out of the bars in his coat pocket and that this is just water. With everything I have been going through mentally, I just wanted to feel rallied around but my friend was not responding the way I had hoped so I asked a man sitting near us, in hopes of getting a laugh and to gain connection, if he would sneak the water out with me. My point was not to start a ruckus, but rather make light of strange situation. My friend seemed upset about me speaking to the man at the bar and kept pushing me to stop which then triggered me to walk out the front door, water in hand. After I walked out, the bartender chased after me, hollered "hey, If you wanted water that bad, you should have just said something" and proceeded to toss a water bottle at me. Up to this point, I was unaware that the bar even had water bottles. I was not told there were any for purchase or offered one. I am completely appalled that this transpired. As a bar who serves alcohol and provides karaoke for the enjoyment of their customers, DO BETTER. How completely un-accommodating, Unethical and rather inhumane can you be. I had an emotional breakdown my entire way home after this experience. I did NOT deserve to be treated so poorly, it broke my heart. I hope they get a better team of people who know how to treat humans who are out for a good time. Your job as a bartender or a karaoke host, is to spark that joy in your customers, it is a SERVING career. That is why after my experience, I do not feel the bartender or karaoke host have made the proper career choice. I hope they choose a better path that doesn't involve working with people and so long as they have a job here, I will not spend a dime nor step foot into this poor excuse for a bar.
