    Love the aesthetic! From the light fixtures, to the bar area, and outside, Spider House gives off a cool vibe. While there is plenty of seating outside in the front AND the back, there’s not much room to sit on the inside - which encourages lots of dancing so I absolutely approve of that! Their drinks are well made, the Margarita is a must; my favorite so far is the spiked horchata…cup full of heaven. The staff, as always, was my favorite part. I love when I go somewhere with fun, personable people working there. It’s awesomely convenient that Arlo’s Food Truck is right outside the building and I absolutely made a stop there after the Honeymade show.

    Fun place with a haunted background, or at least there are tales of the tattoo joint outback is claimed to be haunted. Drinks were a bit too pricy for me, but I'm just a poor boy. I'd love to get some photos of them sometime though.

    Cool venue. When I was there, they had a couple of free arcade games to pass the time while you are waiting for the band which was a nice touch. Also have a bar and a big smoking area out back.

    Extraordinary bar to hang out, dance, and have a great drink. Live music, good open patio, and interesting people. Variety choices on food trucks are nearby, so it is definitely almost the complete package of a fun night.

    Small venue which makes any performance you see a great experience. The audio was great when I went there, but the bar can get a bit packed. Overall, if you want a place with a more intimate vibe for a comedy or music show, this is a great place to go. Be careful with street parking, the streets are not well lit!

    Fun joint. I mean, it has mirror ball. Entertainment was good, drinks were great. Groovy staff. Go!

    My favorite coffee shop in Austin! The drinks are really unique and the staff is so friendly! It's a great place to work from, hangout with friends, and watch live music. Shoutout to Abby for always being so kind!

    Honestly a very pleasant location. Went to a single show here. Environment is pretty basic but very enjoyable, Freeplay arcade machines is nice. Atmosphere is kind of comfortable and quaint. I like it a lot.

    Great place to go hear some live music and/or perform. I had the honor to do both and I had a total blast. Lots of great local artists come through and such so it's definitely worth checking out anytime

    Fun place for a small concert. It’s a small room so you have a good view everywhere.

    Great place! We went a couple times now to see Leche. They were awesome, the other bands were great and the bartenders and the crowd were fantastic!

    There’s only one bathroom inside. There was a sold out satanic goth show going on inside and a pop punk show outside. The girls at the back door we’re literally not letting anybody from the Pop punk show go to the bathroom. And if you start a tab inside LMAO good luck closing it because they’ll stop you from even trying to go to the bathroom or from closing your tab. I had to leave the venue to go to the front counter to show the front ticket booth, my wrist and let her know that I had a tab that I needed to close and that I need to pee. Literally if you go to the venue. And they’re not letting you pee. Just leave and walk around to the front of the venue. If there is two different genres going on at one venue. trust I’m not gonna walk into some satanic goth sold out show if I’m a pop punk fan. If y’all are truly concerned about us, sneaking in find some portal potties or else we’re gonna start belittling ourselves in the parking lot because we can’t go pee anywhere else. I know the show inside was sold out… but wth would a pop punk kid want to join a cult? If the ONLY BATHROOMS ARE INSIDE?! I go to shows a lot. Even if my favorite artist comes in. I’m not going back to this venue. The entire situation was BS.

    Great venue for music and comedy. I am happy to know this place is still going strong. Drinks are affordable, and be sure to check out their event calendar

  • 5/5 Jennifer P. 5 years ago on Google
    Super fun atmosphere and really friendly staff. So much to look at in the day, but also really pretty at night with the lights. Food was tops for a bar. Only down side for me was all the dogs (pet friendly place), but that's a plus for most people.

    Interesting place. Full bar, fast friendly bartenders. Photo booth built into a wall. Food truck outside, right off "THE DRAG" on Guadalupe.

  • 5/5 shadowspawn s. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice, what seems little but is not, nook in West Campus (Heritage). Good selection and friendly staff. Little nooks for quiet sitting or a nice spots for large gatherings. Food inside or with the trucks outside. I strongly recommend that you check it out.

  • 5/5 Duncan S. 4 months ago on Google
    Awesome vibe and intimate setting to see talent. Great selection at the bar.

  • 5/5 Syd B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cozy spot, the range of shows here are nice. Lots of people come out and there's always new people to meet! love the hardcore shows here the most than any other place in town

  • 5/5 Juliana A. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place to enjoy live music and awesome bands. I really had a wonderful night there.

  • 4/5 Angel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Doesn’t quite look like I remember when I would visit 3+yrs ago. It’s dark and dingy but overall spacious and with good sound. Good parking and lots of food options in the area. If they decide to do anymore renovations, I vote on the RRs🥴🤢🫣

    Great A/C, Wonderful Atmosphere, Perfect Size Venue - I do feel sorry for food trailer workers outside - very hot inside trailer.

  • 5/5 Dayna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw a band play on the outside stage. It was very hot but there were a few fans blowing. The inside is very nice and cool. There are also a few video games to play. We played old school Street Fighter for about 30 minutes before the show started.

  • 4/5 Mecca S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Erin B. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited during the day, so the crowd was laid back. There is plenty of outside seating for day drinks. We had the Austin Eastciders (Original & Pineapple). This spot is a great spot for a chill afternoon. There are many food truck options to explore just outside!

    It's a cool little venue. My wife and I saw Bay Ledges. Great Band 👍
