I’ve been to c boys a few times since it’s in the neighborhood. It’s great for live music, but they have always seem to have an issue with their cover and getting their staff on the same page. They’ll come around hounding you even though you just paid and will try to get you to pay twice after being in for 10 minutes. They even have the bartender Hounding you. It really ruins the vibe and experience .. especially as someone who lives in the neighborhood and tries to support local entertainment. Each bar purchase includes an additional $1 fee and it just seems like they’re trying to bleed you dry

Fun vibe retro look just opened in 2013. friendly wait staff, great entertainment. We saw John Flannigan trio featuring Jimmie Vaughan with special guests Memphis S and Sue Foley. $20 cover $4 rum &cokes.

We went to see a star, ended up seeing a constellation! You never know who will show up to entertain you.

Great for live music. The drinks are cheap and its a really fun bar. There is a cover - live music costs money... worth it

Really great micheladas and queso. The bar staff is very hospitable

Drinks are reasonably priced and the bands that play are really good, the baristas are very kind! And no entry fee on Sundays!! BE SURE TO TIP THE BANDS so that they keep coming!!!!!

Great place. Dale especially made it awesome on Sunday. The bartender I encountered was super nice

Great drinks, good crowd. Really enjoyed the music. Looking forward to taking friends to hear some good R&B.

Old school! Love the Big booths! Great venue for up close and personal with the bands.

Great little hole in the wall drinks and music venue that is all Austin and hip to the bone! This is old-school Austin keeping things soulful and real. Great decor and just cozy enough to ensure that you will love it here. Dont forget to check out The Jade Room upstairs for an even more intimate setting. The music is downstairs, but the lounging is upstairs. While there, dont miss a chance to check out the bathrooms upstairs. Why, you ask? Theyve won the Austins best bathroom award no less than two times! Sweet! Check it out - you will certainly be coming back for more.

Very nice place for some live music and drinks. The staff was super friendly and the band was awesome!!!!

Great neighborhood bar with live music every night of the week. The people Ive met here so far are super down to earth and nice, but cool af.If I want a relaxed night with solid live music this is definitely my go-toAppropriately priced drinks, good people, great music. Its loud yet relaxed and the outdoor area is great

800 lbs of crawfish. 5,000 RSVPs. And we couldnt have done it without C-Boys. A great venue, in a great location, with a great staff. Not only did they accommodate a line that lasted nearly all night, they allowed us to give Austin a taste of a real Cajun and Creole experience. We cant wait to head back for SXSW, and C-Boys will be a must-visit for us. Thank for all the #LafayetteLove!

Great club for live music. Intimate size allows you to get close to the music. Layout allows you to move away from the noise if you want to talk with your friends. Nice bartenders.

Great live music venue. I highly recommend it.

Cool little spot for good local music and inexpensive drinks. Cover at the door depends on the band playing that night. Service at bar is quick and patio out back is awesome!

Friendly staff, laid back atmosphere, great crowd. What I imagined 6th to be back in the day. Impromptu jams from musicians who swing by. Nice to hang around with unpretentious and wickedly talented musicians. Best place I’ve been hands down.

This is a small venue! They have a great drink selection! Always have good bands. Great place to go with friends!

Came here specifically to see Miss Lavelle White-I was blown away. She was incredible and I’m so glad I came while she was here. C-Boys is a legendary old school venue hosting nothing but the best performers. Do yourself a favor and come see some real music. Some performances require a cover at the door (cash only), but they have an atm machine outside. It’s a pretty small venue, but it fits the vibe and there’s plenty of spots to sit. There’s a full bar, friendly bar staff, occasional wait staff and a chill doorman.

Great venue great service great bands and great people a definite if in Austin

New venue that features the best Blues, Rhythm and blues, Swing and Honky Tonk style rock n roll artists in Austin. Great sound system, classy dive bar. Overall, crowd is older with some younger patrons scattered and somehow the former mentioned are not afraid to get down on the dance floor while the latter hang in the booths in the back while everyone mingles on the back patio.

One of my favorite clubs in Austin. The performers are first rate and the bartenders and staff are friendly and welcoming. I recommend this place to friends and families and often bring out-of-town guests here for a real Austin experience.

This place is a hidden Gem. Brings funk to your soul and rhythm to your feet.

A nice vibe, friendly staff, and good music. Glad we visited this place.

Drinks at C-Boys are pretty average-priced, with a vodka soda being $4. However, upstairs on the south side of the building is Jade Room, which charges a ridiculous $5.50 for a vodka soda. Also on the south side of the building is the Original New Orleans Po Boy & Gumbo Shop trailer. Great bands at C-Boys, and reasonable cover charge if you actually end up paying one, which I didnt. Shiny, heart-shaped mirror at the bar, along with a turntable and records.

Great music venue! Always a ton of fun!

The band was great! Wonderful diversity of genres. Robert Kraft is extraordinary!!! Beautiful voice, fantastic style!! Thanks

I cant believe I had never been to this place off South Congress. They had an amazing band playing salsa music all night and the atmosphere was great. People were showing off their salsa skills and the sitting area was a great place to sit back and admire. Overall, its a great place to get away from the South Congress craziness and enjoy some really unique bands.

This place is freaking awesome. Its everything you want. Great drinks, Divey atmosphere, awesome live music (soul bands), Bartenders get to choose the vinyl they want to play (and they only get to play soul / r&B records, which is awesome.Ive come here on a few dates and a few catch-ups and had a great time, each and every time. The first floor of the joint is a bar with a stage area and a great little patio out back with loads of seating. upstairs, they have a sexy lounge area (i remember it being all red). All in all, i really like this place and love coming back

Intimate « Old Austin » vibe with some of the best live music in town.

Formerly Trophys, C-Boys is one of the swankiest spots in Austin. Great bartenders and the place just has the coolest vibe. Very intimate indoor stage where you can see anyone from Jimmy Vaughan to Miss Lavelle White to 8 1/2 Souvenirs. The decor is perfect and the drinks are fine.

True blues bar vibe and the music is always amazing. Venus upstairs is an escape from the crowd. A great bar.

Went to see Dale Watson today on Sunday Mothers Day in the afternoon. HOWEVER WHEN WE CAME OUT FROM PARKING IN THEIR PARKING LOT, OUR BLACK TRUCK HAD BEEN KEYED!! TAKE A CAB OR DONT GO!! PREFERABLY DONT GO. NO CAMERAS AND THE STAFF IS WORTHLESS WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE!! STAY AWAY!! Cost YOU TOO MUCH IN THE END!!!

Second best live music bar on south congress. Nice, fast bartenders and good prices. Get there before 9 to skip cover charges.

Coolest bar on soco, only two stars because of the dbag door guy on Thursdays who tries to fight customers and band members.

Great blues.... Thursday night with Paul Oscher is a must see!

Went to see Jane Ellen Bryants single release. This is an awesome band and she is an incredible vocalist, too bad the sound sucked so bad. A venue that touts itself as one of the top live music venues needs to get a better sound system or a sound person that knows how to run sound. Very disappointed as were many other patrons as well as the band members and their producer Frenchie Smith.

Fun Jazz spot, table games out back. Small crowds. Dont wear jeans

Great FREE music (until 9:30), cheap drinks, and friendly bartender! Awesome spot to stop in for a few drinks and hang out.

A nice little bar, again with great music nightly. Go Upstairs or outside on their great new patio to actually hold a conversation with the friendly patrons.

Great place to get a beer and see some amazing musicians. I love the atmosphere. A great South Congress venue.

Awesome food, music, and atmosphere

Great small venue one of the best places in Austin to see live music

Average bar. Live music on a Monday night was nice. Nothing fancy here.

Every time Ive come here, theyve charged a cover. Theyve priced their stock higher than the market will bear - it aint all that...

I love this place! Jitterbug Bikers tonight, fantastic!

Great music, cheap drinks, awesome vibe. They have a cover charge at 9 pm so get there early.

Fantastic place. Just plain fantastic.

Bad service, guy at the door was incredibly rude. Theres way better bars where the employees are actually polite and friendly. Youve been warned.

Awesome venue. What a band!

A fun place to see live music!

Unstable door guy. Started yelling, cussing, and pushing us out of nowhere. Freaked out my gal. Look at other bad reviews, and its always the psychotic door guy. Unsafe place.

Great place! Always great music, and staff!

Great music hang every night .

The bouncer was incredibly rude, but once we got in, everyone else was really nice. As two people who hadnt been drinking and werent being belligerent, this guy REALLY had a problem.

Love the energy. Just a cool music dive.

Love CBOYS! Always good music!

Great live music and local Austin crowd. Check out chickenshit bingo on Sundays.

Best in town but a cover

Great local music and good vibes!

This place is classic Austin. Go and listen to great tunes in a fun atmosphere!

Great place for free, live music on a Sunday afternoon! Also chicken s#!t bingo on Sundays!

Cozy neighborhood bar with incredible local blues and soul talent

Cool live music/dive bar

Boys will be boys...

Awesome, make sure to see Barfield the Tyrant!

You can come to C-Boys any night of the week and the music is just killing!

Nice hangout.

Local dive

A little seedy but Hip

Hole in the wall, but a classic spot for live music.

Live music Dylan Bishop

My find of dive.

Entertainment is great and the bartrender is always super.

The new place to be!! Great staff+!!!!
