"A few steps away from the rainbow crosswalks at the corner of 4th and Colorado, this multi-level party spot is a tropical dance temple, with regular DJ sets and weekend rooftop drag shows overlooking the nearby high-rises. It can get crowded, so maybe grab an extra shot to prolong your drink order. In a city that prefers breweries and trendy cocktail bars to thumpy nightclubs, Coconut Club is a great place to end an evening on the town or kick off a rowdy Saturday afternoon. If you get hungry, Traphouse Caribbean serves decent Jamaican snacks downstairs." - matthew jacobs
"Coconut Club fits nicely among Austin’s small conglomerate of Downtown queer bars.

It can get crowded, so maybe grab an extra shot to prolong your drink order.

If you get hungry along the way, Traphouse Caribbean serves decent Caribbean snacks downstairs. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Pause Unmute" - Matthew Jacobs
"Like sibling bars Barbarella and Swan Dive, Coconut Club shares much of its dedicated bar-going audience with its neighbor Neon Grotto. Together, the two Downtown establishments have garnered near-cult following status with strong visuals and a seemingly endless supply of quality DJ sets. Coconut Club stands out for its rooftop deck with killer downtown views and Saturday drag brunch. Brunch lasts from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and features dishes such as oxtail and grits from Traphouse Caribbean, a Jamaican restaurant." - Lane Gillespie
"Mentioned as a late-night spot that often precedes a run for a burger on Congress with extra pickles." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The downtown LGBTQ club’s still around, so it’s hosting a huge New Year’s Eve party with five dance floors and lots of DJs, plus drinks. General admission tickets are $20. It runs from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
