ℳ𝒶𝓎♍October 29, 2015Austin is amazing in the amount of incredible innovative bands that play every night in every genre you can think of. Mohawk is a large venue with multiple stages, spaces and plenty of room to chill- David SequeiraJune 11, 2012AWESOME venue for a show! A wide selection of great places to see the stage! Hit the rooftop bar for a drink and to cool off during the hot TX summer. Inside bar downstairs has a cool atmosphere
Austin ChronicleMarch 1, 2013The coolest midsized venue in town hosts the cream of the indie crop with two stages, multiple bars, and a wrap-around balcony and patio outside.
My favorite venue in Austin! Intimate outdoor concert space, shows often sell out so get tickets ahead of time!
AmateurConciergeMay 27, 2022Man what a venue. Not a bad vantage in the house….that’s hard to find. Great staff and solid drinks offered to boot
Social News NetworkJune 11, 2012A neat multi-level music venue that features some great artists. Go for happy hour on a "Funk and Soul Friday" from 5pm-8pm and enjoy some good tunes. On these days, there is no cover, but it is 21+.
exfmFebruary 24, 2012Hands down coolest music venue in Austin. Head outside to the main stage or up the stairs to the rooftop deck that looks over the stage. If you want a more intimate experience head to the back stage.
Roc NationJune 8, 2011A local favorite, and with two balconies, indoor and outdoor stages, and a diverse and consistent lineup of extraordinary local bands, there’s no question as to why.
Do512March 27, 2012Not only great for seeing live shows; they also have a great Happy Hour (funk & soul fridays, anyone?!). Grab some drinks & don't feel bad sitting in the corner...big bear makes great company!
David AMay 6, 2016Great balconies to view band. Good beer selection including local craft beers. Great place to see a show.
SoundCloudMarch 4, 2012Great music can always be found at this bar - it is a bit off the beaten path by about two blocks, but make sure to check it out when you are in town!- Chris VicenteMarch 29, 2015Fun place to see SxSw shows with some good views all around and from the balcony
Murder City DevilsNovember 21, 2013We will have these screen printed posters at our show on Sunday January 5. Austin is like a second home to use, and while we missed Fun Fun Fun Fest this year, can not wait to get back to The Mohawk.
Visit AustinNovember 4, 2011A multi-level, indoor/outdoor venue featuring some of the best up-and-coming musicians around. Be sure and visit The Green Room - it's open 'most' of the time.
Grungy spot. Authentically Austin for locals and tourists alike
Scion AdvisorJuly 27, 2011You can bounce from two stages and even sneak upstairs for an aerial view of the show. We like the fact that no matter how crowded it gets, there’s never a wait for the bathroom. Read more
RCRD LBLMarch 8, 2011The balcony is where it's at for the best stage views - and the best company. Plus, you can keep your finger on the Red River pulse without missing a beat from the talent.
- Brooklyn UnitedMarch 6, 2012An awesome outdoor venue for concerts and booze, especially during SXSW. We enjoyed the Ning party in 2011 and will be back for sure!
Rebecca HueySeptember 21, 2014One of my favorite downtown venues. Get there early for a good view on the top level.
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldMarch 4, 2014To access the secret VIP lounge, knock 12 times on the wall by the restroom. If no one answers that means it’s full.
Head to the upper level for a great view of both the bands on stage as well the good looking people in the audience.
SpotifyMarch 1, 2013Two levels of concert stages, and one inside. If you see a line outside, wait, it's worth it. Friendly staff and fun times!
Don't leave before posing for a picture with the bear. He's friendly until you spill beer on him. Don't spill beer on the bear.
Lorenz LammensJuly 24, 2015Start on the roof, finish up backstage. Still one of the coolest live venues in Austin, Texas.
- RCRD LBLMarch 15, 2011Check-in to at least 5 RCRD LBL-approved venues to enter to win an iPad 2! Hint: this is one of them. Head here for deets & more importantly, to discover our favorite SXSW '11 music bit.ly/SXSWRCRD
VevoMarch 15, 2012Check in @ VEVO/NikeFuel Station and show your check in to VEVO staff @ the VEVO stations 11am-noon on Thurs, Fri & Sat for a chance to win VIP access to VEVO's shows. Must be 21+ to win.
Laura DickMarch 10, 2013Went here for the PayPal party and it was fantastic! The music was wonderful and the atmosphere was rockin!- Scion AdvisorJune 18, 201106/01/11: The records will be spinning tonight in Austin! Come join the Circus with Doctor P and Flux Paviion and get crazy. Leave the clown noses at home though. This is strictly Dubstep business. Read more
- Scion AdvisorJune 22, 2011on 07/21/2011: The Godfathers of Indie, Mission of Burma, will show all of the new school hipsters how it's done. You can quote us on that. Maybe. Read more
Listener ApprovedMarch 15, 2012Easily one of the most badass venues in the city, the staff is professional and the layout is superb.
Love coming here for live shows. Saw dead moon here and I will never forget it!! 😈
Drew GartmanMarch 9, 2014$10 minimum of credit cards, that just happens to be the exact price for a shot of whiskey and a line star. Coincidence?
Nick SchneiderMarch 15, 2013the sound at the outside stage gets washed out on the decks. if you want to really hear the music, stay on the floor
Eric LoveMarch 16, 2015This epic three level monstrosity has mad party vibes. Found the recommendation on my new Supper app:
- The multiple, surrounding upper levels are cool, but the best seat and sound is down below.
One of my favorite, if not favorite music venue in Austin, wonderful setup!
Rachel MercerMarch 16, 2011Definitely try to grab drinks & a better view on the roof bar. Fun fact: Michael Cera pwnd that Big Buck Game Hunter in the upstairs lounge.
Make sure you go to the roof top deck; the dressing room is beyond the glass windows so you might get a peek at an artist or two. Saw the guys from Friendly Fires last night, they killed!
