Editorial Review for QUA Bottle Lounge – by Joshua Hinsdale
In Short
Despite its Warehouse District location, QUA could set a new global standard in hip volcanic island lairs. The enclosed front patio, featuring a babbling brook amidst subdued natural hues, conceals the sunken bar's true colors. Inside, vivid red, burnished gold and pitch-black tones mingle with lush textures and designs. A DJ booth is perched above the transparent dance floor, which reveals frenetic reef sharks and stingrays swimming in the 19,000-gallon pool below the dancing divas.

ha ha its kind of funny seeing the bad reviews on such a beautiful night club. The only thing that I don't like is the loud music. It would be nice to be able to listen to nice lounge music and, carry on a conversation without yelling . Over all I do like the set up we need more nice upscale spots in austin. I give qua a thumbs up
Pros: the salt water aquarium is nice
Cons: lower the music its way too loud.

I'm not sure why everyone is judging this place based on "who is there" and/or "what they're wearing". I went with a group of friends and we had the best time. The music was awesome - we danced all night long. The D.J. was "spinning" great music. The service was outstanding. With every drink or shot we ordered, the bartender gave us a "free" full bottle of water, unlike most clubs in Austin where it is so hard to get anyone to bring you water and if they do, it is a short glass mostly filled with ice. I found this to be very responsible of them, not just trying to make a buck off of drinks regardless of how many an individual has had. Very un-pretentious if you ask me. My girlfriends and I go dancing all over Austin, and we always seem to have a great time where ever we are. So, I guess the saying is true, it doesnt matter where you are, it is who you are with! This was a great club, with great music, and great service. Oh, and very clean too. We will definitely go back!
Pros: Outstanding service, awesome music, great atmosphere!
Cons: Can't think of any...
