The Venue

Sagebrush is a beloved honky-tonk and live music venue in South Austin with a rich history dating back over 70 years! This down-home destination features a stage for live performances, offering vibrant entertainment seven nights a week with multiple shows each evening.

The building itself has a fascinating past - originally constructed in the 1940s as an army barracks, later serving as a WWII POW internment camp, before becoming "Gil's Club" in 1955 when opened by Big Gil Stromquist, a 6'10" boxer and millionaire known for fighting at Madison Square Garden.

  1. Enjoy nightly live music showcasing diverse genres including country, Americana, blues, folk, bluegrass, and rock
  2. Take advantage of two-step dance lessons with Hill Country Two Step
  3. Experience the venue's authentic honky-tonk atmosphere with pool tables, cocktails, and beer
  4. Appreciate both indoor performances and outdoor concerts in their spacious backyard

Sagebrush regularly hosts nationally recognized musicians while maintaining its authentic Austin charm. Recently selected for Zach Bryan's "Nine Ball" music video starring Matthew McConaughey, this venue represents one of the last remaining pieces of "real deal" Austin. With its 300-person capacity and 5,000 square foot space, Sagebrush offers a true Texas music experience that keeps the spirit of old Austin alive!
