AISD needs to get its parking situation together. This is unacceptable. 311 only said they would investigate in 48 hrs. What a joke.
Best service I’ve seen in an Austin bar in a very long time. Incredible drinks, incredible food, cant recommend enough. I don’t know everyones names, but the doorman and the bartender were awesome! Most importantly though, our server Amber was great on her recommendations and service! As a local I loved it. Will be visiting frequently!
Who's running this place anyway?! Who ever it is needs to step out of the dark ages and step into the year 2024. Homeless people sleep in front of the door at night and all over the community grounds, they closed for 2 weeks for "remodeling" and the whole interior is exactly the same as it was before they closed. There are hornet nests above the front door, the parking lot has not been seal coated in who knows how many years, there is trash all over the grounds, and the maintenance person still gets a paycheck! For what?! Keeping things the same as they were in 1984?! If that's the case, then give that man a raise. Otherwise can captain 'live by minimum standards" please pay this place a visit... Honestly, this place has some rich history and could be very valuable to the community if run property..... I'm updating my review 7 months latter.... In that time, the parking lot of this Landmark Austin TX, Community Center has gotten sooo much worse. Does anyone care?! I took pictures of the "giant craters" in the parking lot and sent them to Austin "311". Their response "private property", ticket closed.... The beautiful ACC building literally has raw sewage not only expelling into the House Park Parking lot, but it floods the entire yard from the staircase to the skate park and then spills over into the parking lot. And what's up with the dude in the White Van who spews his trash all over the property and openly sells drugs to the kids in the community?! Please tell me why no one in the entire ACC organization, the owners of No-Comply Skate Shop, Management of House Park Community Center, Every person who has attended a football game at the shared field, local authorities, or the City of Austin doesn't seem to care about this?! Before moving here in November, I was so excited to move to beautiful Austin Texas, the 10th Largest City in America. The fastest growing and most progressive City that this country has to offer.... "Keeping it Weird!" Well, this is weird...... But Not at all in a good way..... SMH
I've visited several cities and I always seek to find out if they have a community recreation center. Why? Well, most recreation centers have weight rooms, and they're free for the community to utilize. Surprisingly enough many cities don't have a community recreation center so the YMCA or gym is the next option. Austin, Texas does have a community recreation center and low and behold there's a weight room with plenty of dumbbells, weight machines and even a pull up and dip bar. I just finished doing a light bicep and calisthenics 40 minute workout. Let's also add there's also showers in the ladies and gentlemen bathroom. On top of this the recreation center has all different kinds of programs. As I was walking out the door I seen ladies setting up to play volleyball. The employees are respectful, and the atmosphere is easy going. Across from the center is a skating park, and although I only come around once in a while I notice that the park is always packed with skateboarders. The center is also on a descent side of downtown, and so I've never seen any riffraff. #googlereviews #atxreviews #theroneshellmanmediareviews
FREE SHOWERS!!!! You don't even need to live in Austin. The people at the front desk were SO nice and helpful! There were 4 showers in the ladies room and 6 in the men's. Such an awesome place!
