Neon Grotto

Was served the wimpiest little gin and soda. I mean, they were pouring like they were paying for the alcohol out of their own pocket. It was so laughable I took two sips, put it down, and walked out. Oh, and btw, they mandate 20% gratuity. Definitely don't make the mistake and double tip.

Came by in the early evening and had a great time hanging out with TY

65% of this dance floor was comprised of straight Indian men :/

It is a lively, multi-level bar located right in the heart of downtown Austin. It offers three distinct experiences across its levels, making it a versatile stop depending on what kind of vibe you’re looking for. The rooftop is the highlight – a breezy, open-air space perfect for enjoying views of the city while having a drink. It’s laid-back and social, ideal for casual conversations or just taking in the downtown energy. The second level feels more private and intimate, with stylish decor that gives it a slightly upscale, tucked-away lounge feel. It’s a nice contrast to the livelier spaces above and below. The ground floor is where the party really happens – DJs, dance music, a bustling bar, and a lively crowd. It’s energetic without being overwhelming, making it a fun place to stop for a drink, dance for a bit, and continue your night exploring the city. Overall, it is a great place to spend an hour or two while walking through downtown. Whether you’re looking for a chill rooftop, a stylish lounge, or a lively dance floor, this spot gives you a little bit of everything in one place. Definitely worth a visit if you want to catch a slice of Austin’s nightlife.

So douchey, bad drinks, good music, but so not worth the cover and half drink they pour. AVOID at all costs
