The Venue

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.

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.
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.
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.
