THIS BAR IS HORRIBLE! The people here are... hmm... lets just be honest... GHETTO. The bathrooms…read moreare gross with pee and other bodily fluids all over the toilet area! Their mixed drinks are high for such a crappy place. They often have rap battles and locals performing, which they SUCK! Go somewhere else on 6th street this place isnt worth anyones time. Its supossed to be no smoking but they smoke all kinds of stuff in there O_o

While I can respect Nick's observation, I must say that The Bayou Lounge is a far better bar than…read morehis witty ramble reports. I say this as a customer AND as an employee. I bartend there on weekends. Yes, it's a bit dark but sweet-Jesus, I have never seen anyone stabbed nor assaulted in any way. Come on down to The Bayou Lounge if you're looking to nod-yer head to Hip-Hop tunes or if you want to cash in on cheap drinks. $1 Hurricanes, $1 Draft beer, $1 Butter-nipples. Hang out a bit and dance your ass off. Nick darlin'- your drinks are on me soldier....don't be scared of the dark or the dark-skinned. Cheers.

Next stop, Thirsty's...they must have rebranded because in Yelp they are listed as Thirsty Nickel…read more This club gets a A+ for marketing...they had a handsome young man outside harking free drinks. He was super personable and even made suggestions of low cost food options on 6th street. Thirsty's chose the drink they gave you...tasted like drink mix (no alcohol). We only had a sip and were off to our next adventure. The bartender was super friendly and nice. All the staff was super friendly, which was pleasant. Thirsty's is a large club with basketball machines in the back. The bar is quite long bar with a large space for dancing. The music was popping, so we can see how it can be an attractive club later in the evening when the party folks come out.

False advertising and shady behavior. There was a girl outside promoting $2 shots, so we decided to…read morego in. We ordered 6 lemon drop shots and got charged almost $100 for drinks that tasted like juice. We still tipped 20% because we try to be respectful. When we confronted the staff, the same girl who advertised the $2 shots suddenly claimed she never said that and then kept hiding to avoid the situation. Management looked surprised at the price but just shrugged and offered no solution. Don't come here. This place practices sneaky, misleading tactics and clearly doesn't value customers. They do not deserve your support.

I went there on a saturday night with my siter, I got there around 12:30 idk how it worked it was…read moremy first time in one of those clubs anyways, we were scared to death as soon as we parked, we hesitated to get off the car. As soon as we got off we walked toward the entrance, but some weird guy was walking behind us with tatoos all over(he scared the eff out of us)so we started to walk faster. "Why you walking so fast?" He said. We ignored and continued. "Whats the rush?" So we finally got to a group of "Church people" (they were handing out flyers)really outside a club? (But thank god to them), we let the weirdo pass us! I was almost shaking, so when I got to the entrance I was lost, I showed the guy my ID and since im 20 he had to mark my hands, so he marked one, I was about to go in and hes like "Are you ok?" I replied "yes" but really no, (not with the experience I just had outside), so he marks my other hand, and in I go, I swear he thought I was druged or drunk, because of the way he was looking at me, but no I was just afraid of the unkown! So we get in, and I see all these girls with dresses showing everything(leave something to the imagination), most guys were dressed what I thought was really funny, pointy boots(i swear I keept triping on them). Do they take them off to drive? So they play all types of latin music. I get on the dance floor and its small, crowded(my poor toes), every guy is trying to get you to dance with them, even if you say no they wanna start a conversation no means NO, leave me the fuck alone, so we had to be moving from place to place to be in peace. Besides that I would say we had a good time. I saw no fights, but heard two girls got into a fight (those losers, I would say drama, drama, drama)! I would only say to put more security outside, becauase I saw a lot inside, but very little outside which made my first experience a little intimidating. At closing time I would say to be careful because there are a lot of drunks, and mini car accidents in the parking lot (thank god nothing happend to me). Just be careful with the weirdos, and dont trip on those boots! ;) Im definetly going again sometime, when im a little more BRAVE!

I was on this p,ace for Gilberto Santarosa concert and it not that bad, When I bought my tickets I…read morewas intimidating because. Just go to fancy places, baths one is not that bad, it's huge, the dance floor huge too, I can't say weird people I probably say "corriente", but really respectful and un harmless, it seems like the other comments are from people who only want to damage that place reputation. I'm not say that I'm going every week end, because is not the kind of place that I like to go, but for the next concert (Elvis Crespo), I will going!!

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.

Service was very friendly and my friend enjoyed the hookah flavors! I love that there's a Mediterranean place next door and you can order food and BYOB and BYOF (bring your own food) I ended up ordering mint tea and rose hip + hibiscus tea--they ran out of hibiscus tea which was disappointing. It was shocking to know that for two pots of tea (which probably costs no more than $4) was up charged for $20. I did leave a nice tip because the service was great but I wouldn't come back on my own.

I was recently looking for a Hookah place in austin - and heard this was a great establishment to…read morecome check out (as they also double as a coffee bar and great WFH place). For the parking, it was very crowded, as there is only about 8-10 spots! I'd suggest either finding street parking, or trying your luck to find a spot in the parking lot (if you have a truck - it'll be a tight fit!) The hookah experience itself was nice, but I do wish the furniture was maintained a little bit (burn marks in couches, blemishes to table, etc.) to make the whole experience better! Other than that, I would definitely come back to enjoy some of their coffee as well next time!
