I was here for the Song Sung Blue premiere party. They opened the space for everyone to mingle and get photos. The bartenders made some fun drinks. For super fans of Pantalones they have the blanco. I’ll have to try it again to see if they have gf df food. Of course I enjoyed the Alamo Drafthouse popcorn for the show!

This karaoke spot was a blast! We managed to snag a small private room at an unbeatable rate of just $30 an hour last minute. The drinks were also great. It’s a fantastic date night spot or a fun way to spend a chilly or rainy night in Austin. The service was top-notch! We only had drinks, so I can’t rate the food, but the bartender crafted a custom NA French 75 that was delicious. And while you wait, you can sing karaoke on the main stage.

Amazing karaoke experience in the private rooms and it’s truly the impeccable service that sets this place above the rest. Our server Ben was attentive, funny, helpful, and made our night perfect. The Big Top circus themed room is SO fun and we will definitely be back. Huge shout out to Ben for going above and beyond. We had an amazing time!!

Booked a private karaoke room at Highball for my birthday with friends and we had an amazing experience. Our server was extremely attentive, and the food and drinks we all great. The karaoke itself was also great, as the selection of songs was extensive and the system for queuing up songs worked seamlessly. My only nitpick is the room I was in (Joysticks) has a maximum of 14 guests. My group had 12, and everywhere to sit was taken. Granted, most of the time people were standing so it wasn’t a big deal, but worth considering a bigger room if you want more space. I’d love to come back.

The was the first time checking out the bar. I'm glad a 90s group was performing there that night cause it was good music to listen too while chilling with a friend. I liked the seating area as well. Even though I didn't dance the dance floor was a decent size.
