From the jump he did not provide any hospitality to my group but with other guest(that were white) he was serving them with amazing service.

They were spinning some popular tunes. The place was packed with a very fun crowd. It appears to be a bar you come to have drinks and chat. There was a small area where dancing could take place, but no one was dancing at the time. The staff including the general manager was super friendly. It felt like a wedding reception as you came into the club where you were greeted...very warm and welcoming. We had a drink and stayed a short while. It looked like a place you could come for a girls or guys night out or celebrating a fun occasion. Will definitely consider Dirty Bill's for a future fun evening...

Bartender was a dude and super coool, with me at least so all love there. But overall the experience I had there was nothing short of trash (Bartender is the only reason for 3 stars btw)

The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed, and easy to settle into whether you're there for a quick drink or hanging out for the night. The drinks are consistently great, and they also have really solid weekday food specials. The sliders and tots are definitely the go-to items on the menu and always hit the spot after a few drinks. One thing I especially appreciate is how much effort they put into the themed décor during Christmas and Halloween. It really adds personality to the space and makes coming back during the holidays feel fun and memorable every year. Just an overall great neighborhood bar with good vibes and a lot of character.

From the street level, you walk down steps to enter the club. This basement club delivers an authentic jazz experience. The dim lighting, narrow long room, and close seating create an intimate atmosphere. Live jazz musicians are hosted every night of the week, often with multiple sets, featuring a mix of local musicians, rotating house bands, and visiting musicians. Because of the tight space, you are always close to the stage. Tonight's headliner was the Concept Orchestra. Cover tonight was $7. Cocktails range $14-16. The room was pretty tightly packed creating positive vibes.

The stage is a little weird angled relative to the audience but I guess that's a space constraint.

If you are looking for a relaxed spot in Austin to beat the heat, grab a drink, and catch some amazing live tunes, Elephant Room is a fantastic place to spend an evening.

They also have a full coffee bar next door that you order from through your server and your server will bring it to your table. The crab deviled eggs were also good. I like the taste of capers so I really liked them. They are a tad salty if you are watching your sodium. Our server was super friendly and very attentive. Excellent service. The restaurant itself is super cute. I love all the photos on the wall ans the TV screen above the bar that showed different cute messages. This is also 2 min walk from a parking garage on 5th and Brazos if you don't want to deal with parking downtown. Highly recommend!

Review #1,074 Posted on 6.11.26…read more We came to this cool little speakeasy in downtown Austin on Saturday night the 6th. You can get a code to get inside, to which someone in our group got it before we came in. They had a pretty crowded area, at least the layout kind of gives off that vibe. We got a couple of tall top tables and ordered some drinks up. They've got 80's & 90's playing, so most crowds will get into that. Would for sure return.

There is street parking too. It's like a residential neighborhood. This bar is Christmas decorated all year round. Inside, it's like a dive bar. The decorations on the wall have never been dusted. It's Gotti and tacky, but that seems to be the charm. Small bar where you can place your order. Tables scattered throughout. They do have a pool table, maybe there was 2, honestly can't remember. They do have seating outside as well. I order a gingerbread man shot, and they really should make a grown up version of it. As in a much bigger glass. That drink was delicious, and I literally could have had 3 more just because it tastes so good. This is the drink of choice I would drink at a family Thanksgiving dinner. They do play music, it's not Christmas music though. Cool concept.
