Poor management, good atmosphere, lack of floor guard presence, and the rentals are horrendous even for rentals. I skated for 2 hours and have a blood blister on my foot and gash in my ankle. I worked at a skating rink as a manager and I’ve never seen such poor execution of a skating session. Again atmosphere is cool, but overall I rather skate on gravel with Walmart $10 skates on. Only reason I’m giving this 2 stars is because the wheels rolled on the rentals and the place was dead so we had the floor to ourselves.

It was my first time roller skating and it was fun. The place was big enough. The skates were well maintained. Friendly staff and very affordable prices. Loved it.

Great spot to roll. Also have good music and arcade/ concession stand. Also they dont have a walker for kids to train on.

Cute little place. Friendly employees. Glad I went on adult night. Had so much fun.

So much fun! Its been a while so it felt good to get back out there. Loved it!!

I’ve been a few times now on Saturday, it’s a great place. Amazing atmosphere and the staff is super friendly! Definitely recommend if you haven’t been to check it out!

This place is just amazing! Weve come for the last 2 weeks on country dance night! Huge 10000 square foot dance floor (skate area). We just love it!

Great place! Big enough so you can keep your space. Everyone wears masks and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Awesome place to have a good time during this not so great pandemic! Compliant in regards to COVID-19, lots of space to socially distance, and relatively inexpensive! Will be going back soon

Started goin to this place since everything else has pretty much shut down and they have been great. They’re following all the regulations implemented because of what goin on and have been kindly enforcing it to all who enter and everyone has been responding well. It’s A Safe Place To Get Out Of The House And Have Some Fun!

Austin Roller Rink turns itself into a country dance club on Saturday nights during the COVID pandemic, clearly violating health department directives limiting the size of gatherings, one of which drew more than 400 people ages 18+ to a “mask optional” event without social distancing.This came after a month when Austin worked hard to beat back a surge of COVID cases and hospitalizations.It is unknown how the rink can adequately sanitize the large, windowless space prior to re-opening for family skating the following day, but Families are advised to be wary.

Totally awesome. An entertainment throwback to the 1980s with modern musical offerings. A mere $8 gets you hours of retro enjoyment. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff, huge venue! Easy to distance from others but still have a blast. Music on point, just an all round great time!

Small rink very crowded but definitely fun and will go back

Good space area, friendly personnel, good music and it is greatplace to have a birthday party!

Fun place to bring some friends and have some drinks. I think there is a special for Sundays too! Check them out.

This is an awesome place with awesome management/owners. Thank you so much!!

Nice place, good atmosphere I went on a Sat night country music, and a live band very nice and its BYOB!!

A tootin good time v fun on adult night to skate around with some pals and can’t beat the price

Awesome time at country dance nights on Saturday! Following guidelines with temp checks and mask required!

Love their Adult Skate Night! Always have a great time.

I went on adults only BYOB night and it was an amazing option for something new to do with friends! We all had a blast, but the rink is pretty small and the floor was very uneven in places so as a new skater I was having a hard time staying out of people’s way. But would definitely go again for something cheap and fun to do!

Wonderful staff! Very friendly

Me and my kids love skating here. The staff are friendly, helpful, and talented. Great for all who like skating!

Its really good place to be with your family and friends

This is actually the best place I ever been thats why I go every Saturday

Staff was nice but the rink floor was uneven and needs to be replaced. We are good at skating but this floor made us fall multiple times. Ruts on corners, uneven floor.One of the kids broke his wrist, another hit her head, and another dislocated his shoulder... All in one trip to the skating rink

First time here. Didn’t even know they were here. Booked my daughters 7th Birthday here. I was nervous because we’ve never been here but the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced such awesome customer service. We will definitely be coming back.

Love this retro vibe with kind staff! I feel like a kid again. I gotta go to adults only night time!!

I love this rink. I bring my two grand children, 6 and 9, and they have are learning to skate there. It stays dark, and sometimes the disco-ball lights can be a little disorienting. Its great, because its not big enough for the big people to get going crazy-fast and run over the little kids or old ladies. The girls both like the safety wall in the middle, and they do a couple of laps around that to help them remember how to move those feet before they head over to the wall. The music is fun. The snack bar is good. Prices are reasonable. Win, win, win, all around.

Kiddos had a great time

So far the facility is cool and nice its just the music is a lil..... ...soft&slow.......!!!!!? Although music did get better the later the night got, and fell down twice pretty hard and nobody laughed or made fun, actually had a blast and will be returning

Came here a few times but may stop going forward. The issues I have is who you enforce the rules on. For example, outside food. You allow certain people to bring outside food like your staff can order outside food and allow others, who are not part of party or adult night, bring in outside food but run over to tell someone you cant have outside food or drink. Enforce rules on everyone and not just who you want too.

Came here on a weekend and I had a blast. They played great music and the floor wasn’t too crowded! This is a nice place to hang out with family and friends.

Pretty chill spot. Not quite as nice or large as the ones I grew up going to in North Austin but a lot of personality, good music and nice staff. Had a lot of fun skating with my daughter. Apparently they have BYOB adult nights which sounds dangerously awesome.

Wow....what a fun place! Kids had a great time. Adults even better time. Friendly staff and place had a super old school vibe. You should definitely try it!

Had a birthday party here for my daughter, was so much fun, the room was spacious, came already decorated for you, and prices were reasonable. Covers 16 guests! You also can bring your own food which is very hard to find nowadays! Get a free shirt as well for birthday guest. Only thing I will say is music is playlist, so no music requests, but otherwise such great attentive, friendly and courteous staff. Checked on us regularly, and even had a lighter on hand for the cake candles, saved our day!

Only serve candy and drinks.

This was my daughters first experience roller skating and she had a blast here. The staff was super helpful and very pleasant from the moment we walked in the door. They allowed all the time to get my daughter acclimated to the enviorment and came by to check on her when she took a spill.The rink is very smooth despite what another reviewer said and the music selection isnt bad/is very eclectic so all genres are covered.I grew up in roller rinks and this one is excellent for beginners and experienced skaters alike. My wife and I were very impressed and will be coming back often!

I had an amazing experience! The people that work there are super kind! 10/10

Flashing lights no fun

Love the rink, awesome DJ byob nights are awesome. Only down side is everytime i use their skates i get blisters from lack of padding, but overall its awesome fun.

Just had my kiddos Birthday party. The staff was super polite, the room was huge, and had a great time. We live North. Definitely coming back!!

It was our first time there. I threw my daughters birthday party there. I didnt know what to expect. Walked in and they were ready to help me. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. My daughter had a blast. Thanks guys will be going back.

Me and my husband decided to have a last minute party for my daughter this was a great place super affordable. The staff was amazing Tyler was the most amazing person super cheerful and extremely nice. I would definitely come back and have another partyhere anytime!!!

Love this place! Great times here.

It’s not a very well designed roller rink. It’s more like a roller rectangle. There aren’t any straightaways, just turns, which isn’t that fun after a while. The Austin Playland is a far better skating rink than this one.

First time at this rink and was not impressed.. Did not smell clean, the floor was not wood (very eneven), and terrible music. My kids wanted to leave early. LolThey also advertise Thursday as Family Nite on their website for $5 a person but we were charged $8 a person. I would be happy to add a screenshot of this error but this review does not give me the option of attaching photos.We will travel further and go to a nicer rink from now on.

Parties during pandemic

Great old school rink. take the family out and bond

The entrace area was so hot and muggy, and the area that held the skates you can use, stunk to high heaven. Then, I was pushed down by an employee who was skating on the ring, but looking at her phone. She was Not a young employee either, and when she said I didnt see you there! As I got up I told her, thats because youre paying attention to your phone and should put it away! Her response was, Whatever! I dont think she realizes that her concern should be for the safety of the customers. She better hope my elbow is just bruised, because I will be in touch with the owners of this disgusting establishment. They need to get it together!!

Ive been here several times and enjoy myself each time. However I never recommend having a birthday party. My hostess handed me my bill in the middle of singing happy birthday to my son. The party was the last one scheduled and they were kicking us out 15 minutes before our time ended so they could be out when it closed. Ill still go back, just not for a birthday celebration.

Indoor roller rink? Spent more time fastening skates then we did on floor. We did two laps and left. Floor was horrible.

Friendly staff and very old school. A great place to have fun or go on a date on .

Great place & experience. A door that closes completely at the mens Rm wouldve gotten them 5th star. Parking is kinda limited too...

Ive been to the roller rink multiple times and always have so munch fun. Most of the staff are nice and you can tell they work really hard to maintain the establishment. On the other hand the rink is very small and always extremely crowed which Im aware they cant do much about.

A hidden treat! I had never been to this part of town before. I went with a large group to skate here. Its kind of small. Adult night was nearly empty except for our group. $5 is a bargain. The music was great! Typical Spazmatics type music. The staff was very attentive. They didnt seem to have many rules. We had a good time. If I lived closer, I would go there on a regular basis.

The place is good if you just want to roller skate and thats OK because the price couldnt be better. It was a bit warm I guess because it was so hot outside and the AC couldnt keep up. They do not allow outside food or drink bui I did not check out the things they sell to eat so I dont know what they have or how the prices are. I dont care to state but my kids enjoyed it.

Went here on New Years Eve and had a blast! BYOB, video games, and 80s festivities. Nice friendly staff and big space for a big party. Will go again.

Great for a kids bday party!

We had my daughters 9th birthday here. She had a blast. Very nice place. Great service! We will definitely return.

Probably the best skating rink I have been to in a while. Everybody is so helpful and the prices are not bad.

I go every Friday night. And I think its awesome. Its a chance for friends to hang out and meet new people. food is great music is great and everything., AND FYI LIKE 99.9% of parents drop them off there and leave and thats a great thing and not bad at all because sometimes we need breaks from our parents !! right ? well come join up for fun !See ya ! peace out ............ :)1

I personally will not return I believe the ground is very unsafe it is unlevel bumpy it has broken spots and very scratched up making it difficult to skate. The rink itself is very small and boring. I have gone to other skate rinks that are less expensive than and 9 times better in Austin. Go to skateland off of McCann its worth the drive and its only $6 vs 10.

Went here for a birthday party. Fun old school roller rink. Freindly staff.

The austin roller rink is a wonderful place to go have fun with friends and family to go skate. Its a nice spot to hang out at. The people that work there are so nice and helpful. If your looking for a fun and cool place to go skate and relax go the the austin roller rink

1. Dirty and dingy2. No rollerblades OR skate trainersWe came in yesterday for my sons birthday. (No party scheduled, just to skate) We walked in, paid $25 for the 3 of us, and went to get our skates. On the way over, we all noticed how gross it was in there. Very dark and dingy. We asked for rollerblades for my daughter as it is difficult for her to use regular skates. NO ROLLERBLADES. Ok, she reluctantly took the regular skates because it was her brothers birthday and she didnt want to disappoint him. I asked for a skate trainer. NO SKATE TRAINERS. (Reason was that people kept knocking kids who were using them over....so....they took away something kids need because people are too careless to pay attention and skate around them. Not smart.) So, obviously we decided to leave after being inside for literally less than 5 minutes. I asked the girl (who turned out to be the manager) for a refund and she said that they dont offer refunds. ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW. I said I have been in here for less than 5 minutes and my kids are unable to use your facilities and you wont give me a redund?! She was very rude. Finally she called the owner who agreed to refund my card (still waiting to see it but thank you). I was livid. It was my sons birthday! So we decided to drive the extra 30 minutes to go to Playland Skate Center. So glad we did.I do not recommend this place. It honestly seemed like it was ran by a bunch of young kids that obviously dont care about customer service or cleanliness. Im sure it could be a nice place with a some much needed changes but we wont be back.

Taylor was very helpful and made our party a success! Daughter and friends love this place and it’s easy to skate and fun.

Great place for kids to skate. Excellent party rooms for birthday events.

I had a party there for my daughter staff was very friendly and I had an issue and they responded quickly a young lady there was very good with my 4 yrs old.Thank you again for getting back to me and letting me know about teen night

This business is family owned and the owners are salt-of-earth good Samaritans. I went to a BOH event at Austin Roller Rink. It was sold out so I had to park on some grass by Manchaca. Its been raining heavily this week and when the event let out around 11pm, my car was stuck in the mud! I spent maybe an hour trying to get out, asking people to help push, etc. But it was really in there. A tow company said they would pull me out but that I would have to wait until 1am and that it would cost $95. Then the owner said he had a chain and would pull me out with his truck!There were some complications. Once we got the car out of the mud, we couldnt get the hook out of tire well. So the owner produced hammers and a crowbar. He stayed with me for at least half an hour, using his phone for light while we tried to get the hook out of the car. Eventually he got a jack and the extra room let us maneuver the hook out. I was covered in mud but I was free!Anybody that would get their hands dirty in a dark mud pit at midnight to help a total stranger is a good man. This guy and his wife have invested everything they have in this small business and they deserve to make it. I may take up roller skating as a result of this experience.

May be ok for parties, but not for serious skating. The floor is too small and there are spots where its not level. I wish Austin had a high quality place located in centrally. The only options are far north or far south.

My daughter goes every weekend. I feel she is in safe hands and looked after by the staff. Good old school vibe.

Love adult night! Workers are so outgoing and rink is pretty big! Good music too!

This is the worst roller rink Ive ever been to! It shouldnt even be called a roller rink. The floor is made of rough concrete and its not even an oval its a circle so you can never go straight just constantly turning. The rough floor kills any momentum and it is a pain to skate . They only offerold style roller skates with no ankle support. We asked for a refund after five minutes and they said all they could give us was free passes to come back again. ha! like we would ever want to come back to this crappy excuse for a roller rink.

Fun

I thoroughly enjoyed this roller rink, it deserves 5 stars!

Id give it a zero if there was one.Dirty, tiny, half the floor was closed for an event later in the day. And the rink was closing at 4 pm on a saturday. Do not waste your money or time here

Staff seemed completely unaware of anything going on. Had three or four random middle schoolers being very obnoxious. Also their AC was out so it was super hot. Place seemed kind of dirty. Only have roller skates, no roller blades. The skates seemed old and dirty.

Staff is friendly and welcoming. Loved it

I give it three stars because based on your options in Austin; this is not that bad. Although, compared to full sized roller rinks, this place is tiny. Very crowded floor and the rented skates can vary from not bad condition to very very bad which is dangerous. They gave my friend a pair with broken laces and told him that was his only option. ANKLE BRAKER!

Amazing Adult Nights. Other nights are good but I wouldnt say they are ever child friendly :)

Great place to spend time with your family skating, listening music, eating snaks

Awesome place if you have the time and the energy definitely look into it, great music and awesome atmosphere.

Had a blast even though was on a** more than skating.

Great spot for kids B-Day party the staff was awesome and the place was clean and spacious. The AC was not that great it was pretty warm so Id recommend a evening party there

Just beware. Party room is not for 2 hrs but 1 1/2, because you have to start cleaning the room and have it empty 15 min before the completition of the 2 hrs. So dont tell me I will have a room for my guests for 2 hrs. Because it was not.

Super fun and friendly staff! Great place to take the family

Adult roller skating on wednesdays is so much fun. Its byob and they have a DJ. Only $5 to rent skates. Its a blast.

Its a huge roller rink with old video games. Awesome.

Sunday and Wednesday nights are 18+ and BYOB. Love!

Had bby girls birthday party here!!! it was awesome we enjoyed ourselves!!

Love it, brings back so many memories!

Huge place and I have no complaints about this place. Only memories.

Your not able to bring in BD gifts once party is over. Or, BD CAKE!...We will not be going there again to celebrate a kiddy party!

Concrete floor that is uneven, and that would be ok except the lights are very low and there are seizure inducing disco lights. Unsafe for young new skaters.

Sundays byob adult night was fun

Great place to take family or celebrate birthdays

Amazing

This was the most funist thing ever
