Venue Details

Step into the soul-stirring world of Antone's Nightclub—the legendary 'Home of the Blues' that's been rocking hearts since 1975!

Founded by blues visionary Clifford Antone, this iconic spot started as a sandwich shop turned music haven on Sixth Street, launching with zydeco legend Clifton Chenier. It hosted blues giants like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Ray Charles, and launched stars such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. After epic moves across Austin—from Guadalupe to Riverside and back—it settled into its vibrant downtown digs in 2015, a two-story gem perfect for live jams.

Grab a beer-steamed 'Cliffy Dog' or famous Po' Boy sandwiches, straight from family roots!
Catch electrifying shows from rising talents to all-time greats.
Feel the spirit of 50 years of blues magic in every note and groove.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the blues, Antone's delivers non-stop energy and authentic vibes that'll have you dancing all night!
