Underground jazz club with nightly live music & 20+ draft beers
"The Elephant Room is a refuge from the commotion of Downtown. Descending the steps that lead to this basement bar leaves the world of Lime scooters and Amazon Prime trucks behind. The closer you get to the jazz ensemble serenading the low-lit room, the more your troubles fade away. Order a Brewed in the Basement (their spin on an espresso martini), the cocktail named after Texas musician Tony Campise, or something off the long draft beer list before settling in for your sexy South Congress escape." - matthew jacobs

"Okay, but also, what is a more perfect combination than drinking a dirty martini while watching live jazz performances, especially at this downtown music bar? There are indoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"It’s all about jazz at this super dark, underground downtown club, where you can sip a martini to keep it classy or enjoy a beer on tap. There are indoor areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A Austin-based supper-club series that quickly pivoted to virtual dinner parties, focusing on small gatherings (under 30) to keep events interactive with round-robin introductions. Early digital challenges included getting registrants to log in, so organizers emphasized participant engagement and shipped thoughtfully curated, personalized party packs—delivered hours before the event and containing all ingredients and thematic items (e.g., lotería cards, tacos, a bagel brunch spread)—to recreate the excitement of an in-person celebration. After finding success online, the founder began offering branded experiences for food and beverage companies (which are more profitable than nonbranded events) while continuing to prioritize connection and atmosphere; the organizer still misses the energy of live, in-person events." - Erin Russell
