Rain

Rain, a gay dance bar, sits on West 4th Street in downtown Austin, surrounded by several other gay bars. You'll find a dance floor with loud music, multiple bar counters to minimize wait times, and a back patio where smokers congregate. Go-go dancers perform on weekend nights. It's open from 16:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, closing at 2:00. The dance floor really fills up after 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Service reviews are all over the map. You can easily bar-hop between Rain and its neighbors on 4th Street in one night. On a typical Friday or Saturday, you'll pay around the same as other bars in the area, and the €8 cocktails are a decent deal. The crowd is what you'd expect from a dance bar - loud and lively, especially after 22:00. If you're planning to visit, get there early to grab a spot on the dance floor or at the bar.
