I heard there are multiple rooms or spaces, but we just went straight to the rooftop. The menu was silly and Shrek themed. Everyone got "swamp water" basically a ranch water. Drinks were reasonably priced. We danced for hours and had so much fun. It was so hot of course because it's Austin, but everyone was just there for a good time. The dj played mostly Latin music and it was just great vibes. Can't wait to go back!

It was on the rooftop and thankfully during a shadier part of the day but even so we were all sweating from the fun of dancing. A guy named Carlos was the organizer. The DJ had everyone dancing most of the time but because the rooftop was so spacious there was actually space to dance and not run into/hit everyone while dancing! They had food available for $20 per plate which I shared with a friend because we weren't very hungry so it was a perfect amount of food to share. I tried their ranch water with tajin. We were also lucky to find a street spot not too far from the venue. I look forward to going back again for another rooftop dance party!

Not crowded in, but enough people to let you dance freely instead of self-consciously. Music was 80's and fabulous! Super fun place to dance. So many bars! Didn't wait to get a drink at any of them.

Bad Bartender Experience…read more Trevor is extremely rude. He's tall, lanky, and has long blonde greasy hairy, and facial hair. I went to the bar with my friend to order a drink, we waited in line while he served only his friends and chatted for at least 20 minutes which kept the line completely stagnant. When we finally got up to him to order, he still took his time to do everything but serve us then when he finally spoke he started being condescending and made fun of me for "not knowing what I wanted" despite me literally telling him exactly what I wanted. Fast forward a couple hours, we go back to order another drink. The other bartender is busy handling another customer, so we go back to Trevor, who is not helping anyone and his side of the bar is empty. We walk up, he looks at us both, turns away with his phone in hand, asks the other bartender something, and then proceeds to ignore us. I could understand being busy with something that I'm unaware of as a customer, I've worked customer service. What I don't get and refuse to tolerate is blatantly ignoring someone who tipped you nicely despite you being a d*ck the first time around. It costs nothing to say "sorry just one sec while I figure this out" or something. Normal customer service. As we're standing waiting, a couple other people come up beside me and he begins taking their orders immediately. I pointed out that we had been waiting longer than them, and he just responds with "ok I'm just going down the line, I'll get you next." And when I explained what happened he interrupted me and said "ok well now you're just wasting time on something that's not important." I tried finishing my point about him ignoring us and he ignored us again and continued talking with the person next to me. I think this man is allergic to customer service and accountability. It could've been so easy to say "I'm sorry, I didn't see you" or whatever. I wish 100 years of stepping on a lego daily on him. The other bartender, we think his name was Nick, did a great job and was very kind. He delivered basic customer service and it was unfortunate that they split tips as I wished I could only leave him something nice. Still tipped of course. Trevor's behavior definitely lessened the enjoyment of Barbs. I don't recommend this place any night that he's working.

We had a really great time at Club Collette. It's a much bigger space than other clubs we've…read morevisited, giving it more of a night club vibe. The music was on point for the audience and everyone from the staff to the guests were warm and welcoming. Being from the west coast you can definitely notice a difference in friendliness. The layout is really fun, with the club being front and center on the first floor and the play rooms up above in an atrium style. There are two stages, one for dancing and another with a pole. The area is huge, with plenty of tables and space to mingle. If I could give more than 5 stars I would because of what happened afterward. I forgot a very sentimental purse there. I called as soon as we got home and the manager, Vannessa, stayed in touch with me over text, coordinating with the staff and cleaning crew to track it down. Weeks went by and just this morning I got a text that she had found it. It's in the mail on the way home. I'm so touched by this gesture and will be sure to visit again when we are back in Austin.

Next stop The Rose Room...I have never been to this club because it has unusual hours....Friday & Saturday: 10 PM - 2 AM. This is the TAO (Las Vegas, NV) equivalent for Austin, TX. We began with a dramatic escalator entrance. When you get off the escalator and go left (only possible direction), you see a sea of sardine-packed people dancing like it is there last night of earth. There is a small section of the club with stadium-like seating and a standing area. The music was blasting so loud your body was literally vibrating. A huge LED lit wall showing different designs was the focal point. A DJ was spinning some high energy songs. It was on and popping. We stayed at The Rose Room for a very short while in fear that our ear drums would explode. In my 20s I used go out a lot with friends...surprised I have any hearing today. The key is when music is that loud, you don't linger. This is a drinks only club with a bar inside the club.

They have the bands who play the latest, so if you go somewhere else first, you can always finish your night at WH. My only gripes at the WH are the stuffy dancers who are sometimes jerks to people who don't dance the exact same way they do and that tables are so close tor he dance floor that it gets so crowded. There could be more of a dance floor if those tables were scooted back and people didn't have to stand in front of them to try to get a dance. Fun spot though and definitely somewhere I take/send out of town guests for an Austin experience.

We all took turns leading during the lesson. The class itself was super encouraging and easy to follow, even for beginners like us.

After class, watching the pros hit the dance floor was incredible--so much spinning and energy, it was honestly mesmerizing! The whole place just comes alive. We had an absolute blast and made such great memories. I'd love to go back next time--and honestly, every time--we're in Austin!

I've seen members of LCD Soundsystem, Jody Wisternoff, Gabriel & Dresden, and my even my old friend Kim Ann Foxman here. You can always go to Kingdom completely alone and you'll make new friends to hang with all night if you're a friendly person. Its not pretentious like another club by the airport. They also do open deck nights so you can dj on their killer sound system. That's next on my list to do, since I've been DJing over 30 years and would love to thump some tunes from that dj booth.
