A trendy place to socialize...
The new place to hang out but not the place to dance. A trendy lounge with nice views. If you want to dance there is still OCH! Too bad we could not fuse the two bar together. OCH needs Rain's new and refreshing atomsphere and Rain needs OCH's size and dance floor!
Oil and Rain don't Mix
Yes, this is the new kid on the block but doing very well. The majority of the staff came from the one time almighty OCH. Very nice interior, drinks, music, and nice eye candy! If you are looking for a good night out, Rain is your place. It is not a dance club because there is no real dance floor but overall it is the best in town! Yes, OCH is a dance club but it is OUTDATED! Austin needs a new dance club but until then, you will probably have more fun in the Rain anyhow.
Giving Oil Can's a run for the money
Any new 'upscale' bar is a breath of fresh air. When Rain opened everyone was saying, thank god! OCH is fun, but it's getting a little long in the tooth. Rain, on the other hand, is fresher with a larger (covered) patio, great bartenders (most 'defected' from OCH) and atmosphere, and now that the front section is open, it's easily THE place for Sunday happy hour. There's even talk of punching through the wall in the patio and expanding into half of the old Boyz Cellar. We hope so...now if only OCH can take over the front half of Boyz Cellar with a doorway... but I'm not holding my breath for that one.
Rain is the new OCH's but....
I hate waiting in line to get in to this place when it is really packed. I won't do it. Hopefully, w/ the newly open front bar which has a pool table & seating this will aleviate some of the problem. Scotty, Jonathon, Andy the rest of the guys...even the new Carlo do a great job & this is why I continue to go back time & time again. Now if only the dance floor could be bigger!!!
Nice
Hot,Hung, and huge strippers. I was shocked to see some hot strippers, seeing most bars have little twinks for strippers.Great drink prices, great happy hour, a little bit of drug useage in the bathroom but no as much as charlies.
