C-Boy's Heart & Soul

Step into C-Boy's Heart & Soul, Austin's ultimate neighborhood juke-joint where the spirit of classic soul, R&B, and blues pulses through every corner!

Nestled on vibrant South Congress Avenue, this retro gem pays homage to legendary manager Louis Charles “C-Boy” Parks of the iconic Rome Inn, with red velvet vibes, a glowing heart-shaped neon bar, and live music rocking seven nights a week. Catch blues legends, country twang, or rock 'n' roll on the glitzy stage, then head upstairs to the cozy Jade Room—a 1950s Japanese GI bar-inspired lounge with sake, craft cocktails, and one of Austin's coolest emerald bathrooms.

1. Don't miss Sunday's legendary **Chickenshit Bingo**—bet on where the chicken poops for a shot at cash prizes, pure 'Keep Austin Weird' fun!
2. Spacious outdoor patio with vintage shuffleboard, food trucks (open Tue-Sun 6pm-2am), and easy parking.
3. Perfect for dancing to local heroes like Soul Man Sam Evans, Mike and the Burnalls, or Jimmy Vaughan—staff keep it safe and welcoming for all.
4. Bonus: Hosts the free SoCo Stomp music fest with 50 bands over five days!

Whether you're a music junkie or just chasing that authentic Austin heart and soul, C-Boy's delivers unforgettable nights of swagger, tunes, and good times.
