Song LiMarch 15, 2015This is a very friendly and cozy place. If you are finding a very stylish contemporary place this might not be it, but I came alone and already got impressed by the friendliness of the people here.- Wendy QiMay 9, 2016Cute little music venue with charm and sass. Try the kombucha on tap or better yet, in a whiskey cocktail (golden ticket)
Always a good time with fun people! Sometimes it gets a bit crowded but luckily the outdoor areas are awesome as long as the weather is good.
Brook ShelleyJune 21, 2015So many awesome events here- queer mountain is one of my favorites. Cheer Ups is one of the places I feel safest and happiest in Austin. Damn good drinks too.
Melissa GarciaFebruary 24, 2014Plenty of seating outside and even on the opposite side of the outdoor stage. The flooring looks amazing and everything is all polished nice.

Brea SimpsonJune 21, 2019There’s a framed pic of a miniature schnauzer so this is now my favorite bar. #respect
Go to the back bar if the inside is crowded or you aren't there for the music.
