    If you haven't been to the Moody Theater Wine Down Wednesdays are a great way to check it out. And the best part is that these shows are free and open to the public!

    Beat music venue in Texas. Small, intimate, and well run. We travel from Houston often to attend concerts here.

    You gotta climb a few steps, but if you end up with a spot on the floor in front of the stage, you're in luck- the standing area is relatively small. It's a dark hall, but an awesome venue for music!

    Always a good show. These are from Snail Mail. Concerts are usually affordable and always quality acts. Drinks arn’t as overpriced as at other concert venues

    All seats are great in this concert hall, but we prefer mezzanine reserved seating, if available. It is a smaller balcony area with great views of the stage and floor.

    Not a bad seat in the place and the bar staff is great. Enjoy the 11oz wine pours...

    Don't forget to visit Willie and all the other legendary Texas musicians on the corner of 2nd and Lavaca. Where would we be without them? Pick up a Texas Music Water before heading to your seat!

    Buy the google pixel so you can fully use everything at the hotel, including concierge and anything you need with a smartphone. VR will help tremendously

    The views were fantastic, even from the balcony. I loved that there were seats as well as general admission, but those seats were quite packed together. A larger patron would be quite uncomfortable.

    Our favorite part of ACL is the Jack & Jim Gallery featuring 30 original photographs from Jim Marshall's personal archive. See the photos during any concert or venue tours.

    Fantastic venue but the balcony seats are really high up and narrow, one too many drinks and you might tip over .

    Very intimate. Easy access to the bar for beer or cocktails. Hands down best acoustics of any venue I've been to.

    Hit up one of the local bars before going in for the show. There are plenty of bars inside the venue, but the price gouging stinks.

    If you have to leave to smoke or pee during a show, they pipe the music outside & in the bathrooms. Pro move.

    Drink cheap happy hour beers across the street at Austin Java before you go in to watch a show. Once you're inside they're super pricey!
