A fantastic space with a wide open roof top, look at the sky, type of area. The event had drinks, small bites, and a DJ. There were a few venders... jewelry, a party planning biz and such as well as raffle prizes... some pretty big prizes too. The event started at 7 and it was just about 100 degrees outside... it was hot. But that didn't stop people... the rooftop venue was packed with all kinds of people from sophisticated to hip and young to old! The heat really didn't stop... the sun went down and the rooftop got more packed... there were A LOT of people up there... all for a great cause though... so we stayed... drank a few more "Summer Luvin" drinks and sweat... mingled and enjoyed... the more we drank the less the heat mattered... funny that way! Seriously the venue is a wonderful spot for this kind of social event... it was super nice, big, open rooftop patio with seating, about 1/4 covered and would have been perfect in less heat... but even so... we really enjoyed it. The crowd was very mixed with those trying to be Austin elite (some a bit too hard)... those that were Austin elite, but didn't care they were, those that wanted everyone to know they were elite period, those there to support the event, and those just beautiful people in a wide range of dresses, suits (yes even in that heat), jeans, high heals, tennis shoes, and all... I am a people watcher and it was GREAT fun! I look forward to my next event held at the Vaughn and will seek it out... especially if it is at a cooler time of year!

Def a great little spot for outdoor concerts…read more Not sure why more acts don't come thru here - it's smaller and more manageable than Stubbs and it has very nice bathrooms. We've seen the Strumbellas here twice and truly don't know why more indie acts don't choose this spot over Stubbs. The stage itself is small but the sound system is great and while I don't LIKE it, I definitely understand why they charge for their elevated back bar area (deemed premium seating, at $40 a seat, you get a reserved spot to park it for your event and a great view of the stage). On site there's a hot dog stand and for sure this guy has his supply and demand system down. He smartly uses a fan to waft the mouth-watering aroma of grilled dogs all throughout the venue. Vegetarians need not respond but I would love to find any meat loving person who can go an entire concert here without buying a dog...I'm waiting lol Seriously though, for $10 the dogs are juicy, smothered in good stuff and they absolutely SLAP. Parking sucks but that's anywhere downtown. Street parking if you're lucky, otherwise, they do have an event parking deal with a fairly close parking garage.

We quickly went through security and got our tickets scanned. You can see from pretty much everywhere and the sound was good! We got there right before she started so we just found our spot in the crowd and stayed there the whole time. I will go back! It smelled like popcorn the whole time so I assume they have concessions.

It wasn't too packed at the show I was at, so it wasn't crammed like a sold out show might be. There was plenty of space to party. It's like a smaller version of Moody Theater. Shocker!

Seeing Jon Batiste live at Austin City Limits was one of those nights you just can't ever forget,…read moreeven if time has passed and things have changed with whom you've experienced it with. So let me make sure to give ACL its due props! I was encouraged by my ex to put my name on the RSVP list for this exclusive experience and I hesitated at first. I tend to avoid all things in downtown. But I'm glad I didn't ignore this. Jon Batiste is not just hype. He is the real thing. Pure talent, fully present and full of joy, he is poetry in motion. Being able to experience a performance like that at ACL, free of charge, felt special in a way that's hard to explain. As my baby used to say, it was COSMIC. Austin City Limits ran the event flawlessly. The staff was kind, organized, and they clearly knew what they were doing. Our seats were super high up, but the view of the stage below was very good. We missed part of the intimate opening set down below right in front of the VIP section (an intentional special treat for them), but it was easy to appreciate why special donors were treated to that moment up close. What really stood out was the second half of the show. Jon Batiste and his band turned the venue into a New Orleans style second line, moving through the crowd, singing/dancing/playing music, eventually making their way up to the upper levels by us. It was thoughtful, inclusive, and joyful. No one was left out of the experience. The night itself was bittersweet in hindsight, but the music and talent was undeniable. The memory stands on its own. Thank you, Austin City Limits, for a night I'll always remember.

UPDATE: We just read Christina's review. Yikes. Didn't know one couldn't research vendors, that a…read morepotential host had to use one only allowed by Moya the owner. Not good. Christina also confirmed this in her review, you HAVE to use one of MOYA's vendors. So sorry, Christina, for your horrible experience at Springdale Station, and for getting ripped off. We ALSO definitely do NOT recommend Springdale Station! Honest review for those considering this as a venue: The indoor space is very SMALL. It is not a good location for a large amount of guests. You will find three rooms inside (one with some stairs that are required to access it). The foyer serves as one of these rooms, so once you make it through the line to get inside, you are inside one of the three small rooms! The event we attended was very crowded and everyone was bumping into each other. Again, in OUR experience, this is NOT a good venue for a large group of people. The outside has a very small patio, with a LARGE amount of dirt. Definitely not a good location for anything even slightly dressy. Something casual, cowboy-like, perhaps a kids' casual party...those might work. The dirt area is large. (And VERY dirty!) We came home with dirt up to our calves. Gross! Keep this in mind, and check this out thoroughly before signing any contract with Moya. Buyer beware!!! Outside seating on the small patio was extremely limited. Literally only ONE sofa. Moya needs to addressed this. Would be nice if guests could actually sit down. Ridiculously inhospitable! We have attended several events in Austin, this one is only suitable for a super casual OUTDOOR event. (And hopefully it is priced accordingly...). Again, please prepare to get dirty if the weather is dry, and if it rains you will have muddy shoes. If you wear any type of heel, you will sink into their wet mud. Again, this is another item that Moya still needs to address. (Hello? GREATLY enlarge that tiny patio!). Good grief. Last issue - parking. Many other reviewers have also mentioned this. The parking lot was large, but it was (is) shared by other businesses so finding an actual parking spot was very difficult. Highly recommend if you have to go to Springdale Station that you use a taxi, (etc.) to get there and back. Again, research thoroughly before committing. There are so many other decent venues in Austin, we don't know why anyone would pick this one!
