The Venue

Antone's Nightclub at 305 E 5th St in Austin, TX, is the legendary Home of the Blues, founded in 1975 by Clifford Antone in a gritty downtown spot on Sixth Street.

From its explosive opening with zydeco king Clifton Chenier, the club has rocked with blues giants like B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Ray Charles, and James Brown, while launching local stars such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Started as a funky furniture store turned music haven, defying the era's redneck rock scene.
Moved around Austin—Guadalupe near UT, Riverside, and back to its spiritual Fifth Street home in 2015.
Over 50 years, it's a living shrine to authentic blues, drawing crowds for soul-stirring nights of live music magic.

Step inside for that timeless vibe where the blues never dies—pure Austin legend!
