Latino Night Rocks Even For A Gringa

by JanaBanana87

I am a straight white girl, who LOVES Latino Night at RCC. I don't even know where to start, I guess I'll start with the fact, I always go with my best-friend, Victor, whom rocks my latino night world!!! Ok anyway, the door guy Daniel is awesome! Always up for jokes and chit chatting, the bartender's Sam; wears this awesome neon thong that he will show you on demand. Jamie is awesome too, he has never been a drag queen, just a "man in a dress." And Angel is fabulous!!! She hooks it up, for me and my friends!! We love her. The DJ, Alex is such a cutie, and always plays my favorite song, Baby Te Quiero by Flex y Belinda and plays a sweet mix of Selena, he also makes sure to throw some hip hop in there. The Owner is the sweetest Lady and deserves major props for having such a nice managed club. They have a very cozy patio to go out and smoke on and shoot the breeze. I would definitely recommend this club to everybody, that is down for the alternative lifestyle, which living in Austin, you all should be, and if you aren't down with it, go back under your rock. So, Sunday night is definitely when you'll see me there, with a smile on my face, and a corona in my left hand and a cherry vodka sour in the right :)

Also, you should come out on Thursday Nights, for hip hop night aka Lesi Night. :)

  • Pros: The music, the dancing, the dj, the bartenders, the boys
  • Cons: Not a damn thing!!!

Two-steppin' cowboys show their true colors at this Warehouse District hangout.

by Contributor

In Short
This huge, square bar has plenty of room for hanging out. The raised dance floor, with the obligatory mirror ball and live DJ, is good for both dancing and people-watching. The drinks and service are decent but nothing special. The crowd includes mostly two-steppin' cowboys and butch boys. Girls are welcome but aren't plentiful. At 8pm Tuesdays, the bar offers partner-dance lessons for couples and singles and Sundays are Latin dance nights.

awesome

by lumpsy

all i can say is that this is the best club/ bar i've ever been to... the atmosphere is layed back and relaxed, the drinks are smooth and strong, and the music is def. popping. on thurs its ladies\hip hop nite which is def. when i think you see the largest crowd. the staff is friendly and if you go enough you'll get to know them by name..its kinda like the cheers for the gay crowd ( only better with more attractive people)

  • Pros: great staff, awesome music, only place where women can use the mens restroom and is not be weird 8 )

Great music but TOO hot!

by PrimaDonna5

My husband and I stopped in around 12:30AM. Great dance floor, great Latin music mix on Sunday night but way too hot! I almost passed out and we had to leave because you could not breath and dance at the same time! Lots of gay men so if you're uncomfortable with that, then this is not the place for you. If you don't care, then try it out because everyone is friendly and welcoming.

  • Pros: Great music, Great dance floor, Great mix of people
  • Cons: Too hot and stifling

Great sound system!

by josh

Sometimes I go here just for the great sound system. Al of the people are really nice and the bar tenders remember your name, which is really nice of them.

by wannatalkboutme

EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NEVER A COVER CHARGE......RAINBOW CATTLE WILL SUCK YOUR POCKETS DRY WITH THERE DRINK PRICE. ALSO, IF YOU ARE INTO LINE DANCING, DONT PLAN TO DO MUCH LINE DANCING. MAYBE 1 OR 2 THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. IF YOU DONT 2 STEP OR SWING THEN YOUR IN THE WRONG BAR!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOEVER HEARD OF A COUNTRY BAR WHERE THE PEOPLE DONT LINE DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pros: FREE COVER
  • Cons: , NO LINE DANCING, NO PARKING

  • Pros: hot boys, large dance floor, friendly staff
