WHOA, GUYS.
There is definitely a huge difference on 6th Street in Austin at night and in the day time. The day time, there aren't many people and people seem a lot calmer. It seems as if they're just hanging out, going to cafes, etc. But at night, there are a lot more colors, louder music, and street performances. The Voodoo Room seemed to be normal when my friends and I walked in for a few drinks before getting started on attacking the streets of Austin.
They started off with having just an acoustic guitar player as the entertainer and as the night just started, the acoustic guitar player was gone, and it was just darkness, black lighting, and dancers at the window. I walked past this place again at night, not realizing it was the same place that my friends and I went to earlier. If I didn't know any better, it almost looked like a strip club, and you'd have to shout because the music is so loud that it hurts your ears.
They had something interesting that I saw at this bar, it was vapor alcohol. What you do is you inhale the vapor (it comes in a bottle) and you hold it in for three seconds, and exhale through your nose. According to my friend, it tasted like tequila. Did it work? I'm guessing not because he's fairly light weight, and he was just sober the whole night.
Would I recommend this place? Eh, sure why not... But it's not the number one bar I would stop by on 6th street, especially since they're competing with the others.
