Editorial Review for Ninety Proof – by Tara Hall
In Short
Setting up shop in an area of high-dollar restaurants and touristy spots like the Convention Center and the former "Real World" house, Ninety Proof is a surprisingly convenient place to stop for a drink. Deep charcoal walls and an eye-catching cascade of streaming water work with the streamlined bar to create an upscale, urban retreat. All demographics--from hip clubgoers to casual sight-seers--enjoy the array of bottled beer, specialty martinis and occasional live music.

When we stepped into Ninety Proof, the rich flooring and stylish decor attracted us immediately. We were greeted by one of the two owners who welcomed us into the lounge. We had been riding the Harley all afternoon so we were expecting a pretentious, uninvolved staff but after ordering a delicious mixed drink and a beer, we realized that we were wrong. It was a "come as you are" Austin bar. We sat on the outside patio and people watched for about an hour. There were all types of men and women at the bar and we liked that; people were having fun, dancing and it wasn't a typical college bar crowd. I headed towards the ladies room while my fiancé ordered one more drink. The bathroom was another experience in itself with private, unisex bathrooms and a modern sink and mirror design. Those touches felt like New York City and I loved it. The flat panel televisions across the bar were playing the Spurs game and you could tell that the sports fans appreciated the channel selection. All in all, this was a very well-rounded lounge. It had the upscale feel but welcomed everyone to come in an share a drink. The dancing kicked off at night but if you didn't want to dance then you could watch the game. I highly recommend this lounge and if you haven't checked it out, you should go this week!
Pros: Easy Parking, Motor Cycle Parking, Quick Service, Friendly Management

Ninety Proof is a fantastic, fun and energy filled nightclub. If you're lucky, you can park just outside of the club when parking is available. Valet parking is always on hand just across the street. Right when you walk in the door you know you are in a high class atmosphere. The bartenders are experienced, prompt and friendly. The managers are always available making sure everyone is having a good time. It seems all employees will do whatever it takes to ensure a memorable night. The music is awesome with live entertainment throughout the week. Whether you're there for happy hour or late into the evening, your experience will be pleasurable. Perfect place to meet others with music and dance. This club will be around for a long time. Try it a few times and you will agree. One of the best clubs in Austin!
Pros: Great music, dancing, energy filled environment
