The Venue
Step into Barrel O' Fun, a delightful dual-personality venue nestled inside the Alamo Drafthouse Mueller in Austin! By day, this charming space transforms into a kid-friendly wonderland with a vintage boardwalk atmosphere, complete with carnival games, a soda fountain, and rotating youth events perfect for family outings.
As evening approaches, watch the magic happen when the "R-E-L" on the sign mysteriously fritzes out, transforming the space into "Bar O' Fun." The carnival games cleverly fold into the ceiling, revealing 45 craft beer taps and an impressive selection of fine spirits with an emphasis on barrel-aged offerings - a nod to the venue's playful name.
Cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate the soda-fountain themed drink menu and barrel-aged cocktail program created by experienced bar staff. The venue hosts:
- Live music events
- Birthday parties for all ages
- Private events and meetings
Whether you're bringing the kids for afternoon fun or enjoying Austin's vibrant nightlife, this whimsical spot offers the perfect blend of nostalgia and contemporary entertainment.
