Reviews
"Went here because it was so well rated. We saw Theo Lawrence play, and he/they were good! It was $10 at the door, no minimum on drinks (which was pretty reasonable I thought). It was a cool little room - very vibey, and there’s really nowhere you can’t be close to the small and low stage. If you’re there to see the band, that makes a huge difference. Service at the bar was great - dude looks a lot like James Hetfield. All in all worth a stop in - especially if you’re into the act that is playing that night. (If you’re not - it’s just up the street from a bunch of other things - like the Continental Club, which was also a very cool venue!)"
"These guys are great! The staff is easy to get along with and helpful. The food trailer was awesome. I always enjoy the bands and the bartender let me have my dr. P for free. Definitely worth the visit!"
"Insulted. Accused of trying to con the bar out of a $6 drink despite paying for several tabs and several rounds of drinks the three of us DID consume. Bar tender was hostile and aggressive, insulting, and just plain mistaken. Arieus. Was raising his voice and making a scene in front of VIP acquaintances of ours despite his being wrong. Could've had a nice time, but ended in quite a sour note. The attitude of this bar tender is a joke. Grow up. Learn to admit when you're mistaken and swallow the ego... On another note, the first bar tender we had with white hair was super cool, the door guy was cool, the sound tech was cool, and they had an impressive, antique vinyl jukebox pulling music for the venue P.s. - you can see he responded below. Funny thing is, our party drinks mezcal and Jameson. Not titos. The rest of the drinks we ordered we accounted for in the itemized reciepts we got. Nice try covering your mistake. Still playing the same petty games. Sad act."
"The best bar in Austin, great concerts every single time! On this exclusive place you get to see the best musicians in the country, first time I was there I got surprised to see Jimmie Vaughan on the stage, later I learned that he plays there all the time, Sue Foley, Mike Flanigin and Gary Clark Jr are easy to see there as well. Nice employees, great selection of beers and hard liquor, everything is affordable, I never left there with the suspicious of being over charge. If you are looking to have a fenomenal time C-Boys is your place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Great venue for live music. The staff is really nice and welcoming. Got to see Zapata and talk to him which was a nice plus. also got to see Jimmie Vaughan two nights in a row and have a nice chat with him. A must for music lovers - will miss this place when I go back home!"
