Rain

Rain is a hot spot! It’s been open 20 years and a safe place for the community to dance and be free. It has 4 different areas throughout the club so you can find where you vibe! Lighting and dance floor is insane with a great staff that represents everyone in the LGBTQIA+ Community. Check it out for great drink specials during the week along with drag shows and karaoke. Weekends are popping with more entertainment including go-go dancers! I’ve been going and a part of this club since they opened

Rain is a fun 4th Street staple for a night out downtown—high-energy music, a friendly crowd, and lots of themed nights that keep things interesting. The vibe is welcoming, the DJs usually keep the dance floor moving, and the patio/outdoor area is nice when you need a break from the noise. The dance floor can feel a bit tight when it’s packed, but the overall atmosphere and staff make it worth it. Solid choice for dancing, celebrating, or bringing friends from out of town.

Always such a good time to be had at rain! Specifically when the bartenders are good, specifically Adam!! Always has a smile, and makes amazing drinks. ☺️ Ps. Would love to see a comeback of some sort with Adam at karaoke!!

LOVE Rain on 4th!! It’s been my favorite gay bar in ATX for at least 6 years! Love Drea, Joshua, and my Adam!! Adam has been a constant at Rain my entire time being there and I can’t imagine him not being there! Love all the staff at the best bar in Austin!

Love it here. I come a lot and it’s nice to meet people. I stepped on a piece of glass because I took my heels off for 5 seconds, and the staff descended upon me in such a caring way. They got the glass out and wrapped my foot up, it was nice of them. The music is typically very good as well.

I normally do not leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to share this experience due to the seriousness of the situation. During my visit, the staff was extremely rude and dismissive. I became separated from my brother inside the establishment and was trying to locate him. Instead of helping, the staff asked me to leave without explanation. We later learned that they had removed my brother from the premises and left him outside on the side of the road, despite him clearly not being okay. When we expressed our concerns and asked for assistance, the staff showed no care or urgency for our safety or well-being. Instead, they continued to treat us disrespectfully and asked us to leave again. They also claimed my friends and I were "too intoxicated," which was entirely untrue, we had one drink and were simply enjoying ourselves. This was an extremely unprofessional and unsafe experience. The lack of empathy, communication, and basic concern for customer safety is unacceptable. I hope management addresses these issues so no one else has to go through a situation like this.

Visited with some friends for a party last weekend. The DJ (Dallas Downs) was amazing, his music kept my friends and I on the dance floor all night. The lights and music quality alone would keep us coming back. The staff were attentive and the drinks were good. The energy and people were so enjoyable. And the bathrooms were CLEAN (rare). One of the bathroom stalls wasn't closing which the staff learned after a bouncer was sent to check on two people being in one stall. (One was holding the door closed). I was impressed by how quickly they went to check out that issue. I would absolutely go there again. As a woman, I felt safe and happy to be there. My girls and I had zero issues with anyone getting too handsy or weird. I loved visiting Rain on 4th!
