The DJ was phenomenal with his music and the aerial dancer gives it an extra touch of Vegas. I'd definitely be coming back to this place to dance and enjoy myself. I didn't try food, I don't think there's any available, but they have a full bar and service is fast.

At this juncture, I was ready to go home. However, I was not about to whimp out in front of my…read morefriend. 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.

Bad business, ran more of a man cave, trying to take advantage of any lady using the "I'm the…read moreowner" line to get what they want instead of a business that caters to the people. I mean if your a young person trying to party you might enjoy that they illegally sale overpriced bottles and beer past 2am or that you can get hooked up with a "plug".. let's state some facts real quick. If you have been there when the music is playing loud and you think dust or dirt is falling on you, it really isn't dust or dirt, It is dead rat carcasses, and rat feces along with a bit of insulation that the rats have chewed on, also some dead roaches or even live ones. If there was a way to put zero stars or negative it would definitely be a -5. I bet the health and human services or TABC would have a field day with this place.

A fine club with a decent bar and an eyebrow raising toilet…read more Obviously your interest in Elysium depends on who they book. I came during SXSW, when clubs usually book bands that are different from what they usually book. So my Japanese showcase would not reflect what you would usually hear at Elysium. But the performance space is attractive. The club is divided into two rooms with just a divider and no wall between the rooms. So you can hear the music from anywhere. If you want to be right next to the speakers at the edge of the stage, you have to be in the main room - not the room with the bar. As I get older, I sit down more. But for most of my life, I was a stage-edge-next-to-the-speaker kind of guy. Only the only thing that would remove me from my favorite place was mosh pit action (Or a sucky band). As I get older, I also look for some kind of wall support to brace myself with one hand while I dance with the rest of me. The Mohawk is ideal for wall support upfront dancing. The Elysium not so much because one wall is mirrored. But you can get in position to do some major dancing. When I was there last, I did just that. * * * Seating options are superb. Both in the stage room and the bar room there are comfy leather sofas that hold three people and a number of other soft seating locations. Unlike many other Austin clubs, it is easy to find a space to sit down and still get the music full blast. At the Mohawk, in contrast, for an indoor concert, if you go to sit down you leave the room with the music, and you only get vague overtones coming through the wall. * * * The bar is pretty good. Their options are limited but their options are well chosen. I was introduced to a George Dickel rye by the bartender that was absolutely first rate. George Dickel is definitely going into my home collection. Outstanding beverages and fine seating allow you to have a fine time at the Elysium Even on a night when the bands are terrible. * * * Your fine time changes if you have to go to the bathroom. * * * If you are a guy, peeing is merely tacky. You go into a semi-gross room where there is a multi-user tank. All the guys pee into the tank. * * * Pooping is another story. The club does not want shenanigans going on in any of the toilet stalls. So they remove the door to the toilet stall. The men's room toilet is fully visible from the front door to the men's room. You are literally pooping in front of the entire world. This is barely one step up from India. In India, many people poop in the streets. Here, you are essentially pooping in the streets Except when you are done you can flush the bad stuff away. I personally am very shy . I definitely do not want to do my business in public. * * * There are people in Austin who love to sh** in public. Put four of them together and you have a band. Bands like that perform all over town, Including at the Elysium.

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!

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. I drink bourbon on the rocks, so it's hard for me to comment much on their drinks. A single was a slightly heavy pour but not crazy.

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.

I love the art around the building and inside. I love the view from the outside patio bar. The vibe out there is chill. I'll say I wasn't super impressed with the inside. It felt like a club that was trying to be a club..?? It was small. And the set up was absolutely ridiculous being that the entire middle is for tables and reservations only. Leaving very little space for the GA crowd on the sides and in the back. Sound was okay. But I didn't love the crowd either. I probably wouldn't go back for the price those tickets cost. Glad we got to experience it though. The performance was great. Just wish it was longer as well.
