Austin Garden & Studio

Looking for fun on 6th Street we decided to stop at Austin Garden & Studio and were not disappointed. If you’re coming here definitely do yourself the favor and Uber as parking is incredibly difficult to find there. Getting in is very quick and efficient and once you’re in you’re greeted by live music and a fun open space to get drinks and hang out with friends. There are multiple different places to get drinks from which is nice as you can choose how long you would like to wait in a line. Drinks are not unreasonably priced and they were good as well. The ability to sit throughout the area, get up and dance, or just listen to music makes this a great spot to stay entertained for a while. We came when there was an event being put on by Zyn where they were giving out free drinks to nicotine users which was funny because why not get you hooked on nicotine AND alcohol. But seriously, there are typically food trucks and more things going on here but the Zyn trucks took up those spots which was a bit of a letdown but we’re assuming that’s just a one off event. Between a good band, decent drinks, and a good amount of seating options, this is a good spot to sit down with some friends and just vibe out for the night. We’d give it a recommendation if you’re looking for something fun but not too much fun on a night on East 6th.

Austin Garden & Studio is such a cool spot! The live music was awesome—just the right vibe, not too loud but definitely fun! They had some really cool country tunes playing, which gave the place a unique, chill energy. It’s definitely a hidden gem I’m glad I found! The margaritas were amazing, and the taco trucks on-site were a great bonus. But the best surprise? They had petting horses! Such a fun, unexpected touch that made the whole experience feel even more special. If you’re looking for great live music, delicious drinks, and a fun, quirky atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!

We explored Austin Garden this past Saturday night and although I wish I could give it five stars, our experience was slightly less than phenomenal.. It started off on a sour note when the bouncer had an overreaction to my partner not leaving his ID out long enough.. what could have been a simple request to just pull it back out of his wallet turned into us being forced back into the end of the line.. We felt it was unnecessary but we complied since our party was already inside.. When we got in line at the bar, there was a server going around with a tablet asking us to order via her “express” lane.. It in fact was not a faster way to order and ended up waiting longer.. we ordered via the bar the rest of the night.. Side note: the green tea shots were $15 a pop.. which.. is definitely something to keep in mind.. Lastly, there was a taco truck inside and the chicken tacos were absolutely DELICIOUS! We enjoyed eating while the live band was playing on stage.. the service was great and fast.. Overall, we enjoyed our experience despite the hiccups and would consider coming back when we are in town!

Saw a write up in Tribeza magazine, looked cool but, ya know, PR, so we went in with lower expectations. The Austin Garden is great! All styles welcome! Very easy going. We visited while we are on vacation. We will visit again before we leave! Only issues is that the mixes drinks were meh - weak; we had 4 drinks. We'll get a wine or beer on our next visit. Well done Inn Cahoots!

Love the live music!!! I could go without the club DJ nights but this is such a great place to lounge and listen to great music on a nice night. One of my favorites on the east side.

Great addition to the east side !All the areas are very nice and open great for groups. It did seem that they were a little short staffed as it took a while to get a drink but all the staff members were very nice. It was way to hot to enjoy the outside patio but looking forward to returning when it’s cooler outside

This is a great place and I’m sure to come back again. Merina and Alex were the reason I love it so much. Their hospitality 100% was noticed by me. I was confused on what I wanted and they did an amazing job helping me out. 10/10

Nice vibes, solid cocktails, really good live music on a quiet Monday night. Very spacious, good for groups.

I've found myself here during the daytime for a more casual drink setting and it's always a nice stop when out with friends. The entryway when you first walk into the outdoor space is so fun and a true photo op. It's more of an exploratory space so take the time to walk around (with a drink of choice in hand) and get lost! I'm a big fan of having easy access to some noshes, so don't be afraid to see if the food trucks are open. Live music is kinda their thing here which I adore and it's perfect to lounge at their benches or makeshift seating areas. It's a very laidback area to go unwind and just be in the moment.

We visited Austin Garden & Studio this past week. There were a couple of food trucks that served gyros and tacos but we didn't eat there. We just ordered a few drinks at the bar. However, the service was quick, but there were hardly any people. The ambiance is chill and the music is eclectic. The vibe is casual, but can be upscale. There was a private event and most likely a formal event since there were people dressed in formal wear and suits. The outdoor courtyard was nicely decorated with Christmas lights and there were a few fire pits with lots of standing or seating room. Definitely a place to visit but must be 21+ over.

This is a hidden gem here in East Austin. I know it's new, but we love the stage for some great live music. It's a really spacious place with both indoor and outdoor space. They were really chill. There's a taco truck and multiple screens playing March madness games. The ambiance was really nice and informa, like a place you'd come with your friends to hangout on the weekends. They've got multiple bars inside and outside so you don't have to wait a long time to get a drink. The taco truck Taquicardia is incredible, we really loved the tacos there!

It has an amazing outdoor patio area with a few food trucks offering variety of food options fir your late night cravings. The band is amazing; even the neighbors can enjoy some live music. It's a good spot for gatherings; they even have a private room for gatherings.

Queerbomb Pride Fest this year was held at Austin Garden & Studio. Great venue with a main stage and (thankfully!) shaded canopy and outdoor fans. There were several food trucks and bars. We had quesadillas at the taco truck and it was delicious!

I don't really go out often but if I do, this is definitely the stop I hang out at most the night. They often have a live band and they're always incredible. It is outdoors and theres many areas to sit and hang out with your friends. If you're hungry, there are two food trucks and they both if phenomenal food. This is an one stop shop for everything!

Such a fun and unique venue! I love the versatility to chill outdoors and then if you want to switch up the vibe(also depending on the weather situation) to go on inside to the studio. This was a Saturday around 3ish and the bar was not open yet outside, but you could order drinks inside and sit outside. Was a gorgeous sunny day! Also I absolutely LOVE the glassware. I need some for my own personal bar!

Such a cool spot for live music and a good drink. We stopped here on a random trip to Austin. The open stage outside was perfect for the summer night... listening to a really cool band. They had food options that we did not try but looked good too. They service was quick and easy with wonderful staff.

This place was the highlight of our night out! I loved the upscale-backyard vibe here. The little drink cabana was cute and easy to order from. Plus, the picnic tables on turf were very cute. The performers while we were here were incredible - we loved them and it was the perfect ambiance! Most of us liked playing with the bags game as well.

This place is pretty awesome. Having a bar with multiple different vibes. The studio has cool guitar setup and a stage with lots of couches to sit at. The garden has many benches, fans and misters for those hot days. The IYKYk rooftop bar has incredible views from downtown. The food tucks chicken tenders are surprisingly delicious!

This space Is always nice. Never a line, if you want to go into the inn cahoots patio, this place always has a shorter line and is connected, so don't fall for the long line at inn cahoots. They've had good djs whenever I go. Cool spot on east sixth street.

Great ambiance, live music, large screens to watch games, and different food trucks available. The service was quick, no lines and the Paloma's were delicious!

This place has a lot of potential with their stage, fun outdoor area and location. However, the cocktails we had were terrible - very chemically and artificial tasting.

I love this place- both times I've come I've had a great time. The parking situation nearby isn't that fun as most of it is parallel parking on a busy street, but it's an intimate but casual picnic-vibes area with a nice stage for live music and performances. I wandered in with a friend on a whim the first time, and we had a great time having a drink and vibing to the live music- could not believe it was free and open to the public. There are also murals and taco trucks inside the closed-off picnic garden space, and a comedy show going on indoors. Very unique and associate this with my happy place.
