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.

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!
Spacious outdoor patio with vintage shuffleboard, food trucks (open Tue-Sun 6pm-2am), and easy parking.
