Rain

Whatever!!!

I travel to Austin frequently to visit friends and I've never been that impressed by any of the bars.You would assume in a city of some 700,000 people,and a metropolitan area of over 1.5 million there would be more bars with more variety.but there are only about 6 or 7 at any one time.Rain is newer and touts itself as an upscale place but like all the other bars it's not. It's an old warehouse with a cement floor and crummy bathrooms.while I'll admit that the bartenders in the front bar are cute and pleasant..the majority of the patron are pretentious and snobby.as with a lot of people in Austin.Personally I recommend About Time or Charlie's though the locals will decry these places as dives when in reality Rain and Oil can harry's are not much better they just get the crowds hence they are the places to go. Please get over yourself a bar is a bar in this town..And oh yeah Im not waiting in any line to get into this place...WTF they think it's F*#king studio 54...god help me....

Austin's most popular

Great DJs, music, and bartenders attract a mixed and friendly crowd. Prepare to stand in line on weekends. Lively dancing even if the floor is somewhat small.

fun but crowded

Rain is nice and all, but I found that OCH was much less crowded, had a nicer crowd, and better service. hotties r ragin hot at both though!!!!!!!

Not for the hip hop crowd

I checked it out a few times when they had hip-hop night on Thursdays (only gay spot in town that catered to the hip hop community) and it was nice while it lasted. I liked to see that back if they would allow only 21 and up crowd. Lets face it how many gay clubs in Austin really want to cater to the Latino & Black gay community. Obviously NONE!!!!!

Well it was ok, but not for me

I thought it was to click-ish kinda like high school b.s. to me if you aren't someone that fits in a group then you are pushed out to in the dark given dirty looks and icnored. I will stay with OCH the people are alot nicer.
