New bars, restaurants, and breweries opening in the Arts District | Eater Vegas
"I discovered Swan Dive is coming from Austin to the second floor of The Colorado at 1301 S. Main Street, where its 5,583-square-foot interior will be upgraded with a 3,952-square-foot outdoor viewing deck and a main bar area serving customers indoors and out with patio seating overlooking Main Street and Colorado Avenue." - Eater Staff
Austin’s Swan Dive to create a music venue and ‘elegant dive bar’ in the Arts District | Eater Vegas
"Slated for the second floor of The Colorado at 1301 S. Main Street, this Arts District music venue aims for an 'elegant dive bar' atmosphere guided by operator Harvey Graham, who brings a decade of experience booking national touring acts in Austin and runs other nightlife venues like Barbarella and Oddfellows. The plan features a 5,583-square-foot interior complemented by a 3,952-square-foot outdoor viewing deck, with a main bar serving both indoor and outdoor customers and patio seating that looks down on Main Street and Colorado Avenue. The interior is conceived as a 'vintage, dilapidated speakeasy' with a white-and-gray palette echoing Graham’s Texas operation and is expected to be popular for photography and video shoots. The venue intends to maintain long daily hours from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.; submitted plans do not include a kitchen, and no estimated opening date has been announced." - Bradley Martin
A very much needed venue for smaller acts not affiliated with Ticketmaster.
The 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱: Cozy vibe, super accessible and clean.
The 𝗯𝗮𝗱: Entry for the event I went to was awfully slow, just one staff member scanning tickets. Don't know if the show started about 20 minutes late because of this.
The 𝘂𝗴𝗹𝘆: Apparently it was cheaper to just pay the cover the day of if you didn't have a ticket. Not sure if the artists would see any percentage of that.

Saw Legendary band Agent Orange recently.
Packed house, nice ticket price, sound quite impressive but no surprise with these dudes!
Drinks a bit steep, both doormen always cool, outside deck has a cool view.

Big venue inside and out. They do have a Elevator access for those not able to take the stairs.
It was a great show, see Local Entertainment

Hate to even complain about this in Vegas in the summer
The venue was a little cold enough to wear a jacket or go outside to warm up.

I saw Jukebox The Ghost here last night and it was a great gig but also a very cool venue. Loved the performance space upstairs with a huge indoor / outdoor bar at the back and big outdoor area with misters so you can enjoy the view of the Arts District, Strat, and Downtown. A great addition to the area and another great performance space for smaller bands. And at $25 for a ticket a bargain compared to many other venues. We will definitely be on the lookout for more shows here.

Bar service has gotten better, Staff are great, parking is an issue but that's not the venue's fault (it's in the Art District)
