This was my first time going to Elysium! It was a Birthday Date Night & Haven was there! It was nice & dark, with flashing lights illuminating the dance floor, smoke machines... The atmosphere was PERFECT! Phenomenal sound, comfortable seating, friendly staff, & a fantastic selection of beverages. This was a TRULY memorable night & I am looking forward to going back again! Parking: There is a small, paid parking area located across the street from the end of the block, which is where we parked. Im not sure about other parking lots, but it *is* Austin! Wheelchair accessibility: Getting in the door is easy- no steps, no ramp needed. There are several areas inside with a step or two, but they do have ramps inside to get to those areas, & accessible stalls in the bathrooms.

This place varies GREATLY depending on what is happening there. Some of the events are really good! Sometimes its dead in there. Its a big venue and hard to fill. Its got a great spot on the corner of 7th and Red River and they are definitely keeping it weird. A staple for the goth/punk scene, which you can see as you walk by the patio. Bartenders and good, drinks are reasonably priced.

Elysium is a goth gem found on 7th and Red River. This is one of the old school bars, one of the last remaining vestiges of 2000s Austin nightlife. They host a variety of events from 80s Night, drag shows, costume balls and live music to local artisan markets and fundraisers for the community. Come for an affordable well drink or play some pool and pin ball machines. Wheelchair accessibility: The bar, patio (if you go around the front) and lounge area are accessible but not the dance floor or bathrooms.

Elysium is kinda like the Cheers of Austin. Still standing after about 25 years. Still doesn t overcharge. Nicest DJs and bartenders ever. Long time safe space for all the freaks, weirdos, and queers that make Austin the place it is. (So much love for our supportive straights and normies too.) The stage has been an host to everything from iconic musicians to local community acts. All treated with the same respect and importance. Lastly, you can always find John hanging outside, closing the bar out, happy to talk to anyone. It s simultaneously a misty hole in the wall and one of the beating hearts keeping downtown Austin alive. So many amazing memories. All my love.

Elysium is great; it continues to be one of the most original and fun clubs in Austin that offers a wide variety of musical talent that youd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the city. The staff here are some of the friendliest people youll ever meet and honestly just one of the best spots in town.

Visit more than once and you ll start to feel like family. Cannot say enough about the hard working staff (Jade!) along with the owner who literally cares & looks out for the community and all his guests. A MUST if you re visiting Austin!

I ve been coming to this establishment since it was Atomic Café in the nineties. There was great concern it would close until John Wickham stepped in and transformed it into Elysium. I ve seen so many incredible shows here that never would have been possible without this institution existing. I ve honestly lost count of how many I ve seen here. So many lifelong friendships have been forged within these walls thanks to Elysium continuing to keep our scene alive. I was born and raised in Austin in 1980 and seeing so many music venues close in my lifespan is rather heartbreaking. Liberty Lunch would be at the top of my list. I m beyond thrilled Elysium survived COVID when so many other places went under. This city prioritizes real estate over legendary music establishments, yet still claims to be the Live Music Capital of the World. In an ideal world Elysium would be granted the same landmark status as Broken Spoke, so it can remain a life source for the Austin music scene for eternity. Much respect for John Wickham and all he has done for the music community. Please check out this wonderful club and support the local music scene.

Great music, drinks and prices! Elysium is a long-standing Austin venue for the alternative scene. They have a wonderfully danceable and well beloved 80s night each Sunday! The owners have invested as much in the community and culture as they have in the business itself.The bartenders really know their stuff, too. I recommend ordering the Blood Shot! YUM!!!

life is filled with a lot of choices and decisions: where will we go and spend our time? what things deserve our hard-earned money? where can we find community? what place can feel like a home away from home? for me, ELYSIUM checks all of these boxes and it starts with the staff. from the moment you approach the venue to every interaction with security, ticket staff or bartenders, you just feel welcome. i say this as someone from out-of-town (NJ/NYC) who shows up alone with only sometimes a guarantee of knowing one of the artists or performers; it could be easy to feel invisible, but they dont let you. so perhaps the whole reason for going is the talent and theres no shortage of it gracing the elysium stage - from spotlighting insanely local artists to booking dates on national tours, its always worth it to see whos playing when im in town or if im seeking a good reason to take a trip. over the last year, my personal highlights have been the SXSW showcase in march (stoneburner & curse mackey), the chant show in may, the american dream tour in june (eva-x, moris blak & danny blu) and the voltaire and ego likeness shows in july. ive never heard a bad show at elysium, so that also says a lot about the amazing sound and tech staff. so while youre standing there just taking it in or lounging on a couch and feeling at home, theres a good chance john will come up to you and thank you for coming out...and when you want to look back on those amazing nights, you can thank roi for his photography that truly captures the essence of the performers and the energy of the show. all in all, the comfortable layout of the venue, the caliber of performers coming through, the experience and courtesy while youre there and the engagement online is what keeps me coming and recommending this place to others. thank you to all for welcoming me into the alternative ATX community.

I love Elysium! Every time I visit, I feel very welcome. Its also a good creative space to just be yourself. I met new friends there, and I enjoyed looking at the art all around the venue. All the employees were nice to me and answered any questions. The big restroom there is so cool with the art in there. I also enjoy seeing shows there, since you can be nice and close to the stage. DJs there have all been awesome from my experiences. I would recommend going to Elysium if you want a fun and welcoming scene. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

Definitely one of my all time favorite places in Austin. This is maybe the only bar in the city where you can be guaranteed to find industrial, synth, goth, darkwave music. The bartenders are always attentive, quick, and fun. 80s night on Sundays is an all time staple. Most importantly, the sound here is absolutely outstanding. When you go to a show you know is going to be loud the sound should still sound crisp and this place delivers! There have been bands I ve seen here that sound completely different with the finely tuned sound system they have. Hats off!

My favorite nightspot in Austin for the past 13 years and the ONLY place I frequent in downtown. Historic location, wonderful staff, and the owner treats you like family. There s something different going on every night and it s always a fun place to dance, see a live show, or just relax with a drink on the patio. Elysium will always be my 2nd home.

I waited a few months to post this, so this isnt knee-jerk reviewing. The middle aged male bartender who worked at SXSE was incredibly rude. Im a local Austinite who loves grunge, 80s punk, early emo, and loves listening and dancing to it with my wife, while supporting local buisness and the community. I was nervous, dont go to bars often, and was trying to be an easy customer. I asked if he had any mixed drinks he recommended he responded aggressively I dont do mixed drinks. Thats fine, maybe hes busy so I asked if he had a prefered whiskey, he responded whiskey. Then my friend ordered a few seconds later and asked the bar tender if he had any recommendations. The man completely changed his deminor and offered to make him a special mixed drink with a bunch of stuff. Look, I get it, Im not entitled to anything in life, but I was trying to be any easy customer, he had the opportunity to sell me literally anything. Instead I had an interaction that was poor enough Im still bothered almost half a year later. I hope others dont have this experience, and that mine is a one time problem from one bad day, during a stressful week.

Went for 90s night because I thought itd be fun, but the club was mostly empty, especially on the dance floor, plus a big portion of the music they played sucked. The pinball machine in the back is not free, even though I think itd contribute a lot to my boredom if it was. Needless to say, this club was not bumping. I appreciate the lights and fog machine, but it just hides how worn down the place is. Bartenders and other staff are very nice though. Just not worth going to, especially if youre under 21.

We went to the Priest concert last night, I only went to the bar twice, and didn t leave an open tab. I closed it every time after ordering. Now I have a $34.20 & a $35.00 charge on my debit card after already showing a $19 & a $20 charges for the originally drinks already ordered. Now I have to deal with getting my money refunded. If it s even possible now.

Inconsistent with open times, bathrooms are scary. Ive tried for years to support this bar because they are the only one of its kind in the city. Last night I was willing to pay the $17 cover but they did not allow my partner in and instructed him that next time he should not have any drinks before coming there. This is the third time they have rejected him while allowing everyone else in. Never have I heard of a bar (on a street of bars that doesnt open until 10pm) not letting you in. We came from a work Christmas party before coming there, he was not wasted.

Its not that exciting on the inside, mainly cause its just black nor lit properly, that fall you take going to the dance floor! The bar itself doesnt have drink prices listed so dont try to talk to the older crusty bartender, hell talk to confuse you about which drink costs what. Long Island Ice Teas are not 3.50 here! Its just a bar like any dive bar in town, but with a fancy name.

Fun club, they have 80s night on sundays which is fun and definitely a great time! Has a dark, goth feel, perfect for their 80s night! Also a nice, different vibe from the typical 6th street bars. Attracts a fun crowd and has a good layout for socializing and checking out the dance floor. They also have a stage which can be danced on if you wanna show off your skills for everyone to see!

My favorite hang out in Austin. Welcoming to everyone and the staff is wonderful from the front door people, the bartenders, and the owner, John. They all value their patrons and treat you like family. Music is fantastic and the DJs are approachable and open to requests. You have the popular 80s night every Sunday, but they also hosts tons of concerts, carnivals, etc. So come out, be awesome, and have fun!

Elysium is like Rudolphs Misfit Island sometimes, but in a jovial, maniacal level. Friendly, dark, nostalgic, and cozy couches!

First time here. I went the the Gothic Prom on June 2nd. It was great!! Our bartender was amazing and took very good care of my gfs and I. They had amazing pole dancers and MOST of them were very nice too. Great place

Elysium always has very unique nights and great staff. They will take care of you more if you show great appreciation for tips especially since they are all trying to make a living as well. The music has the best of Industrial, metal, retro, electronic, experimental, pop, and ect. The best atmosphere that youre ever going to get in Austin by far.

The best club in Austin. You feel like family when you are there...if you want to live life like an OG local Austinitie, this is the place. Sunday nights are especially awesome for their 80s. If you want to dance or just chill on the patio, its all a fun and laid back time! I swear if this place ever shuts down, I will probably retire my red river dancing shoes!

You dont come here for the space you come here for the events. I wouldnt just hang out here on a random night with friends.
