Oilcan Harry's
Popular with the younger crowd from the local universities. Check out their website to see specials and when the go-go boys are there. It's right next door to Rain and near three other Warehouse District gay bars, making hopping a breeze.

Spraycan Barbie's
Circa 1990's was great, packed with hotties, great music, great staff, and was the place to be! 2003- present day is dull, frequented by the older crowd and going down hill fast! Their DJ's and Staff of many years are now next door at Rain! The owners of this bar made serious coins and could careless about this place. Obviously, it is catcing up with them now. Austin needs a true gay dance club but until then head on over to Rain.
I like to call it the Jiffy Lube.......
Yes, as recently reported this place has been in decline. I have been frequenting this place for many years & most all of my favorite bartenders have left & gone next door to RAIN. This means I no longer get the special treatment that I use to receive & had to tell a new "yung pup" behind the bar recently. However, it is still a great place & hopefully it will get better really soon. Sunday afternoons for happy hour are still the best here...there are no better burgers in town like Margie's & you can't beat the price either!!!!
What happened to OCH?
OCH's used to be the place in Austin, no questions asked! The staff was seasoned and some were very attractive. The music, atomsphere, patio, etc...were really what made this bar a complete package. It was ALWAYS packed! Over the last few years it has started to decline. These people made tons of money and rarely could you see it being reinvested in the club. They finally made bigger restrooms and moved the DJ booth but other than that, it still looks the same as it did 15 years ago. The lighting system seems to barely work and there is nothing special about their dance floor. I guess the best way to understand their decline is .....The most popular & established bartenders, DJ's, and other staff members no longer work for OCH. The majority of them are at Rain. That should say enough. Again, try it out, it is still ok but nothing like it used to be.

An old standard
Other than the attitude laiden bar crowd on Friday and Saturday nights, the bar, bartenders, and other bar staff continue to make OCH a staple in the gay community. An old standard that everyone can count on for a good time. Cheers to expanding the men's restroom, Jeers to banashing women to the alley.
