Disclosure

If you're coming to Yelp for venue reviews, I don't know what to tell you. You're either gonna go to the concert you're eyeing tickets for or not. Like Black Sheep said, "the choice is yours". The Concourse Project is sneakily one of the best venues in Austin. Granted, nine times out of ten, it's a dance show hosted here, but it just feels a league above other venues. I'll get this out of the way: you either get to the venue extremely early and luck out with a parking spot, fight the outrageous Uber fees to try and leave the venue with everyone else, or pay $20 to park in a gravel lot next door. It's kind of a lose-lose-lose, but I'm picking $20 parking every time. Outside the tin can of Concourse are the numerous lines to get in. Security is thorough but moves quickly and is more friendly than your standard venue security guard. Once inside, the venue is split into two spaces past the entryway: the outdoor courtyard and the main space. The courtyard is great for a breather, grabbing a drink, or checking the numerous shops hanging around. Inside lies the main dance floor. Huge speakers hang on the wall, and an incredible lighting rig and projectors span the back wall and the ceiling. Like all dance venues, once the music starts, it'll never stop until Austin's curfew. Since residing in Austin, I've been to three shows here: a Boiler Room, Jamie xx, and the great Disclosure just last Thursday. I always love how open the dance floor is at Concourse. There's a ton of space, even at a sold-out show like Disclosure, to dance and groove. Drinks are your standard concert price, and it'll always hurt your wallet to get a drink at any venue, but it is what it is. It's not exorbitant; it's your venue average. I also enjoy that Concourse uses SeeTickets vs. Ticketmaster, so the fees aren't as ridiculous as other Austin venues. The sound in any area of Concourse is great, but the closer you get to the stage, the better and more alive the crowd seems to be. It also doesn't feel like there are a thousand phones in the air at any point because most people are just vibing and living their best life. It's a great venue to go with your friends or make instant friends at, but if you ever ride solo to Concourse, you can still easily lose yourself to the music and the bass. One last thing: After the first time you go to The Concourse Project, you're gonna want to come back. The best way to keep coming back is by protecting your hearing. Foam pieces are cool, but I recommend investing in Loops or EarPeaces, especially at a bass-heavy venue like Concourse, because if you want to keep having a great time, you've got to preserve your ears. Trust me. RIYL: GETTING LIT

100% recommend coming here to break you. Very fresh, clean and plenty of amenities. Keeps surprising you every visit, the places continues to level up.

There is something special about The Concourse Project that is transformative and a blank slate to experience any music journey that is being held at the venue. Parking is probably the only sore spot for the space but I feel like if that is the only thing to harp on then it isn't that bad of a situation to worry about. What makes this venue not only badass in the city but one of the top venues for EDM is how easy they transform the space based on the artist's needs. I've been here when they've made it a 360 bar, full production setup with the artist at the back, and a B2B setup. The visuals and audio here honestly compete against venues I've been to in Ibiza, Miami, and Vegas. As someone who loves to have a late night bite after a few drinks, I am so thankful that The Concourse Project has a food truck out back for you to get your grub on. The last show I went to about a week or so ago (NGHTMRE) it was a golden chance to enjoy a plate of quesabirria tacos. Holy crap where they everything and more. They were so delicious and you can decompress and have a break outside. Whether you live in Austin or are visiting, if you have the chance to check out a show here then you absolutely have to!!

One of the few places I feel at home. I come here every few months either with a VIP or regular ticket. It is safe, clean, great drinks (pricey though), and always nicely decorated. Each time I came, the layouts were always different which I like. I appreciate the security staff and body scanning to make sure nothing dangerous is being brought in. Can't wait for more shows this year!

Saw Deorro a couple weeks ago here and it was such a cool experience!! The venue offers a lot of space inside and even has an outdoor patio with some food trucks. The lighting and screens on the roof were incredible and added to the ambiance. The staff and bartenders there were also friendly. Keep in mind that they only have limited free parking spaces on site but also offer a lot next to the buildings where they do charge you $20-$22 dollars. Also, I don't know if it was just the sound system here or it's a universal experience but if you stand right in-front of the DJ stage it's really hard to hear what they sing/or what their songs say since it's like 90% bass. When my bf and I moved towards the middle and back of the crowd we ended up having more fun since the sound quality was better there. Something else to note is that if you plan on seeing the artist or performer you bought tickets for they don't tell you there's 2-3 other smaller DJs performing first. We expected that Deorro would play around 10:30- 11pm since doors opened at 9pm but he didn't end up playing until about midnight. We were patient but we wish we could have known. However, we had a great time overall! :)

Not being a big EDM fan I'd never visited this place, but since it's in my neighborhood I was curious and decided to catch a show. It was great in all aspects - from the sound to the lighting to the friendly and professional staff. They host world-class EDM acts - for example, Tiesto played there in May 2025. Definitely a place for night owls - when I visited, the headliner didn't take the stage until midnight.

Wow. Let's just say I've visited the concourse twice this year and am ready to return in 2025. Already bought my seismic 2025 tickets! I went to Concourse earlier this year for Sara Landry all nighter, then decided to take on a three day festival in November. What an incredible venue! This festival is top notch. The venue is laid out really well and is nicely spaced. I love the upstairs area where you can overlook, amazing lights and space. Soundsystem was on point. Got to see so many hard techno greats, and old-school greats.

Living in a neighborhood close to this place sucks. No one wants to hear the damn bass so loud it rocks the houses. Very selfish and rude.

The dim lighting, intimate setting, and overall atmosphere make it one of my favorite spots in Austin for a date night. It's romantic without feeling overly formal, and everything about the space feels thoughtfully put together. Drinks | 5/5 The cocktail selection is EXTENSIVE! And I mean extensive! There's so much variety, and I love having so many options to explore. The drinks are consistently well-made, and you can tell there's real attention to detail behind them. Definitely one of my favorite places in Austin for cocktails. Light Bites | 5/5 They have a great selection of light bites to enjoy with your cocktails.

It's the perfect amount of food for an evening of cocktails and conversation. Service | 5/5 The servers are always wonderful! Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

There seems to be a drink for every palate. If alcohol isn't your thing, they have mocktails. The ambiance was nice. The lights were warm and low. Old movies played on the wall from a projector. Walls are lined with vintage books. Overall, I think this is a cool place. I look forward to returning.

At the entrance, there is a stairwell down to a dimly lit floor. The Elephant Room is long and narrow. The bar takes up room on the left and where the bar ends, it opens up a little for where the stage is. We saw the musicians playing at the 6 PM show. There was another band playing at 8 PM. I got the Jazz Punch which was sweet and strong. They have a few snacks available but no food. A nearby table brought in food, but you'll want to check with them on their policy. Listened to music for a little over an hour and then we were on our way. I think the venue is pretty good and your experience is going to vary quite a bit on how much you like the musician.

It's located next door to an adult video store and a person might not normally stop there at first glance. But we did and had a great time. Not a lot of people know about this place. There are a lot of different beers including 7 or 8 on draft and good wine. A great thing is that the prices are a lot less than Austin (around $2.00 for Happy Hour for most beers. Happy Hour is noon to 7:30 every day. There is another bar about a mile down the road (Cindys Hog Wild) and the drinks are a lot less at the Waterhole than they are at Cindys. Plus the place has air conditioning. It also has WiFi. They have horseshoes out back with a biergarten. There are pool tables, darts, foosball, and a little shuffleboard. Monday nights there is a sing-along piano night and the piano player is from New York and he is great and knows hundreds of songs. I have also gone to the Open Mic night on Thursday night - only one I know of that is on the east side of Austin. We heard Mary Welch and her band a couple of times. They are fantastic.

We played some pool, hung out and made it back to the airport for the second pickup all very efficiently. Looking at the other reviews it looks like it can get really lively other parts of the day. If you are looking for a dive bar or roadhouse, this is a solid option.

Honestly, there are better concert venues. That said, there are redeeming qualities, and things you…read morecan do to make your experience better. The venue is mostly exposed, and on hot days, can be blazing hot wherever you are. There's nowhere to hide from the sun except in some of the public areas. You'd think that as hot as this venue can be, and how exposed patrons can be to the sun, that the owners would set up water stations everywhere. Not so. They're hard to come by, which is, frankly, just stupid (and a liability risk). Parking is a circus. Although there is ample parking, much of it is very far away (and it only gets further away the closer you approach concert time). There is a tram that runs from the parking areas to the venue, which seems like a great idea. However, when the show's over, they delay the tram service for a time (for our concert, it was 45 minutes). This means you either have to hoof it or wait until the tram starts running again. Why do they hold the tram service? I don't know, but I suspect it's because they want the premium and VIP parking holders to get their cars out before the huge traffic jam hits the streets. If you want a better parking experience, buy a ticket for the premium garage for $50. It's shaded and relatively close to the venue. Well worth the price. Don't pay for VIP parking. It's not shaded and not all that much closer. Not worth it. As far as seating, I don't really know about GA on the lawns to the back. I'm inclined to seats generally, which are typically much closer. That is true here. We liked our seats, and felt we had a good view of the stages and bands. The acoustics were also quite good. Food and drinks are not the highlight. There's ample of both, but it's outrageously expensive. I recommend grabbing a bite before the concert. There are places in Del Valle and surrounding towns. All of that said, we'd consider going again if there's a band playing that we really want to see. We like Austin (*a lot*) and this is the closest big venue to Austin. We'd probably add a couple of days to spend in Austin before or after a future concert.

Parking is pure chaos, there was a shuttle to take us to the actual park where the concert was, on…read morearrival it came and dropped us off quickly but the ride back took over an hour to come back and the walk was wayyyy too far. The concert itself was an experience and the crowd was mixed but everybody was def vibing. We met some cool people while waiting on the shuttle. The food was cool, typical concessions. Personally I'd go back but only during the cooler months, we went 09/15 so it wasn't terrible but was pretty toasty until the sun set.
