This church on S Lamar also doubles as a music venue during non-church hours. The acoustics are great, chairs are comfortable, and the parking is plentiful and FREE. There is a bar with adult beverages to add to the enjoyment. Will definitely return! read more

I wish all venues were this intimate, this clean, this easily accessible and this perfect. I saw a phenomenal indie pop/R&B artist named John Splithoff here and they couldn't have picked a more perfect venue. -Venue location was easy to get to and not along a crowded street -Parking was SO easy -Check-in was a breeze -Venue snack & drink prices were so affordable -Acoustics were amazing -Restrooms and all areas were very clean and comfortable -Staff was so funny and friendly -Performance felt intimate I could go on and on and ON. This church turned part time music venue is amazing. They knocked it out of the park. I wish I could experience every artist's performance here. read more

Excellent music venue -- lots of parking, great sound system, well-stocked bar with okay prices, and not really a bad seat anywhere (and VIP) closer to the stage or table top seating available). Last night saw Courtney Patton. Great voice, but not great range, so pretty much every song sounded the same to me. And, needs to be more audience engagement in my opinion. Just OK, kind of disappointing as my wife was really looking forward to going as she heard one of the songs from her new album, which turned out to be the only song that we really enjoyed. I will say, on the positive side, Courtney Patton had an excellent band, including a really good guitarist and saxophonist, along with a very competent bass player. Kelley Mickwee opened the evening, solo guitar, and very good - enjoyed this more than Courtney Patton -- but, alas, Kelley M was a backup singer for Courtney Patton and she has no idea how to be a back up singer. Very distracting. Way too involved. Either be a backup singer or CP, get somebody that's a real backup singer and don't compete with the headliner. This venue has a full lineup of shows and it's worth taking a look at the lineup as lots of good folks. read more

This is a great place to enjoy great musical performances. It's not too big, so there are no bad seats. The acoustics are great. I have enjoyed many shows here. The most recent was Jorma Kaukonen who is one of my favorite guitar players. I recommend seeing shows here. I don't drink alcohol but my friends have enjoyed the drinks. read more

If you are looking for a great night of music then grab tickets to the next show at the 04 Center! Tonight I was lucky enough to have first row seats to amazing storyteller BJ Barham. It was absolutely an incredible experience and I highly recommend you check out the upcoming shows. Here is a valuable tip - the Secret Sisters are playing in May so hurry up and order your tickets! The venue was very nice - it is a church so the acoustics are great! Ordering tickets was very easy - I always appreciate being able to add tickets to my apple wallet - that way sharing tickets with friends is easy and check in was super convenient. Security was extremely welcoming and vigilant throughout the entire show. Parking was free and very easy to navigate. I would recommend getting to the show when doors open to grab your seats (no assigned seats but VIP is the first 7 rows). Getting there a little early gives you enough time to check out the merch table and grab a drink. The bar staff were nice and open to our suggestions - they currently only sell Austin East Ciders and it would be great if they add the sour beers from Vacancy or St. Elmo's into the mix. Overall a wonderful venue for an intimate musical experience. Be sure to submit a survey on their website to share what artists you would like to see perform - you could win tickets to an upcoming show of your choice! read more

I forgot to check in while I was here, but I attended the Hulvey concert at 04 a few days ago. I had no idea this place existed, but it was a quick drive for me. I was a little worried about the parking situation but I got there 30 minutes before doors opened and was able to park in their lot (for free!) easily. The one con was that everyone has to line up outside before the show in the blazing sun. There is no shade. So I sat in my car until I saw that they had opened the doors to go inside. While I was waiting in line, Hulvey actually came out and interacted with everyone who was standing in line, which was pretty cool. Once I got inside, I scanned my ticket and then they had a merch station and a snack station. I didn't buy merch but I was thirsty so I headed to the snack line. They had lots of canned drinks for sale at a reasonable price - $4 each. They also had some small bags of chips for sale. There are two levels to the venue - Downstairs has chairs and then a pit area at the front, and chairs in the back. Most people sat in the chairs until the show started. I didn't go upstairs to see what the balcony situation was, but a lot of people with kids went up to that section. My con with this place was the lack of visuals - there were 4 tv screens in the main level, but the show was not projected on any of them. I am short, so while standing in the pit area I literally couldn't see the artist on stage. I couldn't see anything from the seats either. They could have broadcasted the show on the TVs so that everyone could enjoy the view. Leaving the parking lot was easy. No traffic and I was in my car and on my way home within 5 minutes of the concert ending. Overall a nice cozy venue but projecting the video on the screens would have made it a 10/10. read more

The 04 Center - View from seated area on bottom floor - Music Venues Near Me - Austin, Texas

Such a great, laidback music venue: a church by day, listening room by night. Feels like a bit of old Austin with ample, free parking; friendly ticket takers; comfy seating; and solid acoustics. read more

We had vip tickets too see The Last Bandoleros & Their opening act Lisa Morales & Nuevo . The o4 center is a very intimidate venue which I just loved . We had front row seats . Both bands where amazing . We drove from Converse ( San Antonio Area) too see The Last Bandoleros. They were just amazing . I love their Tex Flex style . Lisa Morales & Nuevo was an added bonus . The O4 center has a bar but the downside is that one Margarita cost $15.00 . Guy behind us added an extra shot & his margarita was $20.00 . I saved my money too buy The Last Bandoleros merchandise. I highly recommend attending this venue for music events just because it's so small & intimate. Seeing The Last Bandoleros was definitely worth the drive . Staff also was very friendly. read more

As a first-timer enjoying a show at this venue (the entertaining Scott Miller and the amazing vocals of Bonnie Whitmore), I was quite impressed! It boasts an intimate ambiance, great sound and lighting, a cozy bar set up, plenty of parking and welcoming staff. There's really not a bad seat in the house. The 04 Center is housed inside a 1960s A-framed church and it's such a cool use of the space and acoustics. Ticket prices seem reasonable and there's a VIP section (the first few rows). I'll be back! read more

When they say the best little church bar in Texas, they aren't lying. I wish that this would be the future of all churches across America. Bars, music and friendly people that don't judge...praise! Thank you for a beautiful evening with the Secret Sisters. read more

What a neat and unlikely place for a fantastic rock n roll show. The bar prices were reasonable and the service was pretty chipper for working late on a Saturday night. The only knock is the bathrooms, which desperately need an update. Plenty of parking and is adjacent to Matt's El Rancho! We'll definitely be adding it to the list of places to see a show! read more

Great intimate venue for music. They have full bar but no food available for purchase, plenty of free parking. Easy in and out unlike some other venues. read more

This was such a cool surprise for a local music venue ! Even better I won the vip tickets ! It was so comfortable with great seating & a nice bar to boot! At first i thought it was going to be only Christian music but it was a great variety of 3 bands! Blues, folk R&B Really enjoyed Roger Blevins The 80H Project band was confusing though ! it sounded like the musicians were playing all different songs. They lacked continuity it seemed. The Watters @ 7:30pm Roger Blevins @ 8:30pm 80H Project @ 9:15 pm ll be going back. Nice positive environment read more

Yes music venue is a very special place not only because of the acoustics and sound but because it's held in a church And this venue has a really great bar. It seems so cozy and reminds me of old Austin and its scope and easy attitude. We have been to three concerts here and all of them provide great seating because it's a small venue and you're close to the stage. We will definitely be back over and over and over again read more

The 04 Center - Every seat is a great seat - Music Venues Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is one of my favorite venues in Austin. It is intimate and the sound quality is close to a recording studio. I love the artists ability to see and connect with the audience and the serene setting. read more

It's a great venue... a church rents out or raises money with the space, regardless it is a great place to hear music.

We went to see The Limelighters and thoroughly enjoyed the intimacy of the former church and the comfortable padded seats.

Nice cozy venue. Every seat is a great seat. Good sound system. Not too loud, not too soft. Just right. Amazing list of artists performing there. Love it. Right next to Matt's El Rancho, which ain't a bad thing at all. read more

Great venue for seeing live, intimate shows. Even though it's at a church, they do have a bar and it's just about the music. We will definitely return! read more

Saw a show here recently and the acoustics are really good and the ambiance is perfect. However, this is floor seating only and it may be difficult to see the stage if you're short like I am. They stagger the chairs so you can see better, but it doesn't really make a difference. They do have a reasonably priced bar but it does feel odd drinking in a church. Overall great place read more

Went to a private listening event here. The acoustics were excellent. Smallish, so every seat (pews, of course) was a good one. They allowed a cash bar. Plenty of parking. read more

Very intimate venue for seeing great artist. I went to see Jennifer Knapp there live and the sound was phenomenal. Looking forward to Sean McConnell next. read more
