To ease your winter blues, we've compiled a few fun things to do on the days when it's too chilly to drink on a patio. Whether it’s the world-famous themed karaoke rooms, weekly dance parties, our interactive events like Geeks Who Drink or Tittie Bingo, there’s always something fun going on at The Highball on South Lamar.
Rest In Peace Austin: 2016
We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of our beloved restaurants, bars, venues, and establishments that bravely served the Austin community.

L.A. Witch w/ The Rotten Mangos, Que Pasa, DJs Sara O & Kevin
“L.A. Witch knows how to conjure up the demons in pop.
