I was reprimanded and treated like a child for dancing at my table. I had my mask on and was not near anyone else, I just chose to stand and a good song came on so I lightly danced in place where I was standing then I was asked to stop or leave. I feel like that could have been handled in a more friendly manor since I was not disruptive however the manager seemed to be upset and angry at everyone. Not entirely sure why, but it was only my 2nd time there and my last.

Great dance music, big bars with TVs, trivia game boards, light up dance floor, outside patio area, and cool bartenders.

Went in had a server named Justin ask for a whiteclaw for a quick drink an charged me $8 for a whiteclaw then soon as cash out not even 30mins later I’m charged $25 great way to run a business.

LOVED it here. The atmosphere, drinks and people were amazing.

Best time ever! And my friend only 20 and she could still get in

This club is a blast. Great music, strong drinks, a nice big dance floor, and a really good mix of clientele. The bar is separated into some very cool areas to hang out.On a different note, we were VERY impressed with security. There was a girl on the dance floor who was very drunk and started yelling at one of my friends because his arm brushed against her while we are all dancing on the packed dance floor. We tried to explain that it’s hard to not brush against people when it’s that crowded and then she pushed him as hard as she could. Security was amazing and quickly ushered her out, apologizing for the situation.This might seem like a strange thing to post about, but gay bars are a safe space, and when the staff puts that above making money, it means a lot.We will definitely be back to Rain when we visit Austin again.

I have been to Rain on 4th many times while visiting Austin in the past and have made many great memories there, however I do want to make my last experience known. On December 30, me and a small group of friends kept with our New Years tradition and we visited Rain around midnight. We had just arrived arrived and bought a drink(the bartender was awesome) and when we got to the dance floor, we started singing and dancing to the music, as we should in a dance bar. After a short time on the floor, I noticed a gentlemen going around to other groups on the dance floor and either aggressively shouting at them or removing members of the group from the bar. I understand on occasion this is necessary, however when the gentleman reached the group I was with, he told us, very aggressively, that we need to keep our volume down and that we shouldnt be shouting in the bar. Obviously we were confused, so when talking to the bartender, he told us that the gentlemen was the manager. We continued to see a few other occurrences where the manager removed people from the bar for numerous reasons. One lady was dancing lower to the floor (killing it I might add) and he told her she was too drunk and had to go. One member of our group asked the manager in passing if there was a method to his madness. Since the bar was less than half full, I cant imagine why he would be removing people for singing loudly to the music they were playing or for dancing on the dance floor. I want it to be known, I have had many great memories in the past at Rain, and I hope that they can get the management together again so everyone can experience and remember Rain as it should be.

I was visiting Austin and decided to sample the queer scene. To that end, I checked out Rain, Oil Can Harrys, and Cheer Up Charlies. Of the three, Rain was definitely the most pleasant experience. Both the coat check guy and the bartender with the exposed midriff were super sweet and warm (and cute). I started with Rain then went elsewhere for an hour or so, then came back. They recognized me and didnt charge me to recheck my coat, and even compd a bottle of water for me for no reason other than to be nice. The music was good, and the crowd seemed less conceited than than the average assemblage of gay men in a bar, and of the three places I visited, it was the closest to 100% target space. If I come to Austin again, Ill definitely be back.

I have known as lady sativa in Denver. I was net with nothing but rudeness. I thought I was in Dallas. Very very unusual for Austin. Im not used to being treated this way in Austin

Everything about Rain is fun except the manager. Everyone was having a good time dancing and we were told to ‘stop screaming’ when we were Wooing for a song. Another group on the dance floor was kicked out for ‘screaming too loud’ IN A BAR!! When we confronted the manager he kicked our group out of the bar. During this he put his hands on multiple people in our group as we were walking out. This establishment should not be supported if this type of management is present.

This bar is always a pleasure to visit; whether it’s for a relaxing, yet upbeat happy hour, or if you’re into the late night scene, Rain doesn’t disappoint. Thursday nights are the place to be with amateur strip off! On that note: Friday and Saturday nights are also bumpin’! Sunday Funday is always great given how big the space is with tons of patio space and a great light up dance floor. This LGBTQ+ bar is definitely a must if you’re visiting, or simply a local looking for a fun time out in The Warehouse District.

Normally a great club but 6th March playing music so aloud. Mates Apple Watch showing dangerous, if your gunna do that at least give out free earplugs

Great club with great music. There is outdoor space as well.

Went to karaoke and if you wanted to sing. You had to know the DJ . As a DJ you should want new people to come and have a good time. It was the same people singing.Come on Rain ...You can do better. People were nice and bartenders were great.

Friday night was LIT with DJ Dallas...drinks nice and strong, prompt service. Now, shorty with the rainbow shorts handling exit traffic at the door has a salty tude he may want to revise. Lucky for me, I dont get anyone Rain on my parade (get it?)

The bartender makes so bad drinks, plus every one bartender makes their own prices for a drink. Management also terrible!!! Never will back again!

Door staff terrible. Declined allowing coming in with no real reason other than they “believed” I had drank too much however only had 2 beers entire evening. Pathetic and an empty bar denying people entry is just weird

Dance club in the heart of Austin’s Warehouse District (gay district). The light up dance floor and a group of the city’s best DJs make this the best place to dance downtown. An Open-minded and friendly bar staff. Cocktails served just the way to want it.

Not sure what’s going on with the bouncers. Although I was fine and hadn’t had anything to drink. They said I looked like I was too drunk to let me in. I’ve literally never experienced this ever.

Love the bar and music and staff

This place was a good time, although we did have a tough time getting drinks - they seemed understaffed. They have a large dance floor and good music. I would go back.

Im sure this is a great club and there are some really cool attractions, like the Illuminated dance floor, HOWEVER. The bass was just too intense for me and I left.I guess if you enjoy the feeling of your organs moving around in your abdominal cavity then this is the club for you.

Awesome place to dance! The music is on point. You can also hang out with your friends on the back patio.

Pretty decent club. Interesting people all around and I always have a story to tell later.

This place is a blast. Three separate areas - one for dancing, one for smoking and lounging, and one thats a sort-of outdoor patio area. All areas have their own bar, and there are always great dancers too!

The staff is amazingly helpful and cooperative. The place enhances its charm by the beautiful and very subtle music that they play.

Gorgeous venue. Friendly bartender. We’re from out of town, so either we’re too shy or the general crowd seems a bit closed off. But I would come again to put ourselves out there.

Great venue ... a little network of rooms, and outdoor space . Great dancefloor in the main area. Drinks seem to be normal priced foe the USA. Even on Sunday it was fun.

Love it. not enough beer and gays enough to afford my rent in donald trump tower in new york city. I have more money than you could imagine, come to this gay bar to meet and you can pay my bills because im getting evicted from my 9/10 apartment it costs 5 mil a month and i am to lazy to pay the rent that you dont have. By the way, it has a nice hotel at the top.

Love love love rain! Never a cover and always a good time. Best music out of all the gay bars in my opinion. They actually switch the music and genres up where as the competing bars don’t. Drink prices are fair and have never had an issue with fraud.

Drinks were weak and staff was EXTREMELY rude for no reason.. if youre trying to have a good time I would recommend somewhere else bc this place was a waste of time and money..

A great club! I love taking my wife here for a good night out. Admittedly I need a few more then her before I get on the dance floor but they always have tons of bartenders. They even have a more quiet bar near the front if that is your thing.

I love this club but there was this women that keeps moving me. I dont know what she was doing but she told me to onto block her way to the bar. I mean if you arent bringing clean glasses then you shouldnt come and move me. Bartender can do their job just fine. That was just plain rude, learn some manners.

This place caters to those 25 and under. Ive caught 18 year olds getting drinks bought for them by older gentlemen time and time again. The staff is rude, the bar backs push and shove you, and its very much conceited. Go to Oil Cans two doors down for a way cooler crowd. Oh yeah, tons of drugs are being done in the bathrooms (besides of course the kids being fed alcohol by older men looking to get them drunk and take them home wasted).

This is Austins best gay club since Kiss & Fly closed down. I love Thursday nights as the have the Amateur Strip Contest. Many of the college boys hang out here, so theres always something to see. It seems they play the best music on Thursdays as well. The dance floor is small, but I love the lighted dance floor in the middle! Fun!

Great place for drinks, new friends, and awesome drag shows.

PAID $10, received a wrist band AND had our hands marked before walking in with some friends. When my friend & I went to the restroom, after not even being there for 5 minutes, and were washing our hands the marker started coming off. Tell me why a male worker was targeting straight people with a damn flashlight inside the women’s restroom if the markings came off??? Extremely rude & non understandable him and the people working up front. No sign was posted either about any information regarding the hand markings and if they had to be kept on. NO REFUND just kicked me out of the bar. DO NOT GO HERE!!

Theres a lot of people that come through here. That being said, theres spots in this relatively smaller place that have plenty of space, so you can choose whether youd like to be in the crowd or take a break. The music is always great.

Amazing atmosphere, the dance floor was crazy colorful, and the people I met were super cool. Theyve got a seating area in the front and a cool patio in the back. Theres no rules for the restroom, anyone can go into whatever restroom they want and not be judged which I thought was really sweet. Plus, for being such a packed place, it was really clean.

Great shows, sable cities is an amazing host, love all the local queens and other shows. Good/well mixed average priced drinks.

Awesome! The music, people and atmosphere were on point! Drinks were expensive though, I recommend pregaming but toss out any left overs before you get there. I saw them make at least two people dump their drinks. Draws a large crowd of cool people! Also worth mentioning is their AWESOME LIGHT UP DANCE FLOOR! Its gorgeous and truly elevates your time here to An Experience! Cool lounge area! Bathrooms were kind of a mess but what could you expect? Definitely a Must Stop for Austin lgbt fun!

Great music awesome atmosphere the light-up dance for was seriously cool met some crazy interesting people didnt drink too much but the bartenders were alright definitely worth checking out. Patio was also very cool.

Visiting from out of town, enjoying ourselves. While dancing an employee pushes us to move because he had to come through without saying excuse me. He pushed both a guy but also a lady dancing and then when he got a reaction we were kicked out. Kind of bs... we came to this bar because we were in the area heard good things. If you want to push people expect a reaction. It was rude.

Amazing music. Thats the first thing that stands out. Went a couple nights ago, saw a drag show and then danced until 2am. I really appreciated how great the music was. Other than that the bartenders and other people in the club are all extremely nice. Fun to dance with and talk to. The drinks were pretty average and got the job done, but nothing to brag about. Overall, Ill be visiting this club again many more times.

The most fun Ive ever had at a club. I dont care how you identify, you will have a great time here. Good music and awesome entertainment.

If you want to dance with 20-somethings this is your gay bar. This place is large with multiple areas. Front bar has booths and a bit quieter. Main bar has 2 stages, 2 dance blocks, and DJ booth. Outside has two bars and two separate areas for the smokers. Line moves pretty quickly and never a cover for 21+

Solid place to be on a late Friday/Saturday

My wife and I love this club. Good drinks and music. She lost her phone one night and the next day we called and they had it waiting for her.

Great place for dancing and mingling! It is probably the most prominent dance club in the warehouse district and always really fun. The bouncers and bartenders are always super nice, plus nice to look at. The open cages are always fun to get up in too! Just beware of handsy/drunk patrons like you would for any club.

Great gay club. Spent a lot, hopefully it was worth it!

Worst service I have ever had in Austin at a bar or restaurant. The DJ was absolutely insulting and rude. He should not be working in the service industry period. 06-09-19

Love it always a fun time

Life is just good here

2nd best gay club in Austin for sure

To celebrate pride month in Austin you should visit rain! It is my favorite Gay club in Austin! Its always lit and has great music! The patio is always convenient too to talk to people and make friends ! So much better than grindr . The bathrooms are a bit small but hey the floor is plentiful!! I really love this place, and the staff! Seriously 4th street is way better than 6th! But I might be biased since Im Gay . Come experience it for yourself!

This place is a good gay bar to go to if you want to dance. That being said, their dance floor is TINY!! They could stand a redesign to make it larger and maybe make the patio a bit smaller. The bartenders are always really nice and serve great drinks, the music can be a bit hit or miss, but its usually hit. All in all, check it out and if you dont like it, check out some of the other bars next door.

Fun spot for an evening out, dancing and a few laughs. The main area is non smoking which is great, Im disappointed that the back area allows smoking though.

Always friendly, great staff and great entertainment. You will always feel welcome here. This is the spot to escape it all and be yourself. Str8, gay, bi. Be who you are!!!!!!!!!

Friendliest service Ive ever had. Amazing scene! One of my favorite places to go when visiting Austin

Dont even waste your time at the other bars. This Bar has everything! A light up dance floor. Super sexy couch cushions and excellent drink specials every single night! (Tuesdays are Dollar Wells!) Super friendly door staff and bar staff. Other than Barbarella on Tuesdays this place is always the place to be!Become a regular you will be glad you did!

Cool drag race!

Its a fun bar. I wouldnt give it five stars because I dont think its one of the best Ive been to, and the drinks are more expensive overall and less strong, in terms of alcohol content, compared to bars on sixth street, which isnt too far away. It seems to attract a younger crowd.

Great place to dance. If youre into cages, this is the places. Sharpen up your stripper pole skills and show them off here! Gay or straight, youll have a great time.

Favorite bar in Austin. Love the bartenders.. Roberts my favorite!! Highly recommend it to everyone. Good music in a large space.

Was pretty good (we are regulars) until halloween when the guy at the door asked for our IDs and turned one friend away even though we were all 21...yea not cool... but on regular days, id totally suggest it for party-goers.

Be careful as they pour your drinks, they will put VERY little alcohol in, and all mix. Watch out for bad bartending. Great dance location.

Awesome bartenders and drinks. A good place any day especially for Sunday funday

DJ Filthy Rich brings excellent music. Johnathon and Texas serve super cocktails. Scott assures everything runs well.

Best gay bar in Austin! SO much fun, and the bartenders are awesome! LIght up dance floor and fun shows.

Been my favorite bar ever BUT the old man bartender with glasses in the front bar spilled a drink into my eye and was very rude about it. will be avoiding him every time i go now. was sober for the whole incident.10/10 bar though

As far as I know there are drag shows on Wednesday. I had fun.

Great light up disco dancefloor, friendly staff, friendly regulars. highly recommended.

Fun to go and dance. Karaoke on wed is always fun. The bartenders are the sweetest!

WARNING FOR DISABLED FOLXA friend of a friend went to Rain and was treated terribly by the staff and the owner. They yelled at this person for bringing their scooter into the establishment, moved it without their consent, and then the owner tried to bribe the person to leave, saying that he didnt even understand why this person had come in the first place and that they didnt look disabled.

Music is good but a little too loud. I one to dance but the dance floor is over crowded on the weekends, but I guess thats the goal. Hang out long enough and youll eventually meet someone new to chat with.

The waiter bumped me and was extremely rude about it. I would not go here again!

Great place to hang in Austin with a patio, dance floor, great bartenders, and pumpin music. Dancefloor is a bit odd but its a fun place.

A pretty neat bar, though usually a little crowded. The live karaoke is a lot of fun.

The bar is big - all of them - but the dance floor is way too small.

Rain is the BEST! Timmy is my favorite bartender downtown.

LOVE the patio at Rain. They also have karaoke sometimes if youre in to that. Kinda pricey drinks and bartenders can ignore you sometimes.

Rude door. Rude management. Couple of great, friendly bartenders and sometimes their drink specials really come through. Thats really all there is to say. Everything else is absolutely lackluster. Its like 6th did 4th.

Love this place people are very nice and the staff seem very happy to do ther job

When I wanna dance all cray, I go to rain.

This place is very small. It is filled with a bunch of stuck up twinks. The staff is nice just the enviorment is kinda pretentious. i do like the bartenders they make some of the best drinks. i would reccomend going to this place during a happy hour and its alot of fun .

Great place to hang out!

Staff is rude and will push you. If you so much as look at them afterwards you will be ejected.

Fun club scene. Great people-watching.

Great place to get my dance on with my FABULOUS friends! Visit Texas out on the deck!

I dont appreciate being over charged an additional $25 when I spent only $10. When I have the receipts. Called and left voicemail. No one return calls.

Big, open space with a good floor-lit stage. The dancers in the cages kept the crowd moving all night

Rain is home to one of the best dance floors in Austin.

Love the dance floor!

Great place for years and years to come

Nothing but good drinks & Fun!

Definitely a blast to go out dancing here.

Come to party, stay to dance.

This place and I GO WAY BACK! Rain is the place to be and next to Boyz Cellar (you old school Austonians know what Im talking about) there is no better club to party at.

Great place to go dance and be yourself.

Me & my wife came here during the day to grab a quick drink over the weekend and the customer service was through the roof, and the bartender drinks were excellent.
