The Ballroom @ Spiderhouse

Apr 2nd, 2024

Cool venue. Went to see Lip Critic for their SxSW protest performance. Two stages were set up for multiple performers and the sound was great. Drinks were a bit expensive.

This place is cool at night, but that's two times now that I try to come for coffee in the afternoon and they're closed. Today I came in and there was nobody at the counter even though it says coffee from 10am-6pm and it looks like it was just a private event. Very confusing.

The Ballroom is probably one of my favorite spots in Austin. As a band videographer, I end up here and at the Mohawk fairly often. Ballroom has a nice stage, decently priced drinks, and the food trucks parked outside may be the best part. There are vegan options and a halal truck with VERY GOOD PRICES. I got a burger for $8 in Austin, that's incredible. The DIY culture and metal bands love to come here and it's easy to see why. The low ceiling creates an intimate setting with the perfomers. With excellent lights+fx, things are only improved further when you hear how the bands sound. Falcon from Being Dead has declared Ballroom's audio engineer as the "best in the world" and that's something. Go check it out, and make sure to post some pictures. The people there are wonderful.
