Casual club with DJs, cocktails, patio, and live music
"If you don’t mind a cover charge, Hotel Vegas is a good place to come if you’re looking for something a little rowdier (bordering on sh*tshow material). There's loud live music (usually up-and-coming bands) inside and a big scene on the back patio outside." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, katherine lewin
"Two bars, one enormous shared backyard with concerts, DJ sets, and/or karaoke parties nearly every night. These adjacent East Side dives have a punk spirit, and they’re as likely to host a Rocky Horror-themed drag show as they are a Mexican shoegaze band. Stroll over after eating at Suerte, Canje, or Uptown Sports Club nearby. There are $2 Lone Stars and other Happy Hour specials Monday through Friday." - matthew jacobs
"It feels like a party all the time at Hotel Vegas, but pretty much every day from March 7-14, there’s a different themed party involving live music hosted by different sponsors. Some of them require free RSVPs, and others are just free all the time (or before a certain hour), so be sure to check Instagram before heading over. But it’s a pretty safe bet that if you make your way over, you’re going to hear some live music. When: Various dates and times from March 7-14" - nicolai mccrary
"Inside Hotel Vegas, you’ll usually find a DJ or band playing, as well as some people having a sweaty dance party. The backyard connects to the equally fun Volstead Bar, so you have a built-in backup option for cooling off outside with some cheap beers. If you’ve done all this planning, you deserve it." - adele hazan, raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
"The East Austin bar and venue will be airing the debate as well. Doors open at 7 p.m. and there will be election-themed cocktails available too. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
