Carousel Lounge

An Austin icon since 1963, the circus is in town all year round at the Carousel Lounge. It’s a colorful carnival-themed watering hole that’s a hit with the locals and visitors lucky enough to discover it. Elephant and lion tamer murals, plus an actual carousel behind the bar, form a backdrop for live performances.

The Carousel Lounge has hosted live music, continuously, for longer than any club in Austin.
The Carousel boasts live music most nights of the week and plenty of room to scoot around the dance floor.
Go for the novelty, stay for the low-key company and local acts.
