I mean. It’s just amazing. The drag is phenomenal, I’ve never had any bad vibes, everyone is super cool. One of my favorites! Drinks are decently priced too! This was the first club/bar I went to after I turned 21 so lots of good memories. I also need to emphasize again how amazing the drag queens and performers are. Absolute stars. It’s also not toooo crowded when I’ve been there. Enough where people are dancing and feeling the vibes of each other and it’s not lonely, but not breathing down each others necks.

My first time going out, had a blast. Enjoyed watching the dancers. Had a guy spill his drink at the table I was stilling at. He apologized and ended up kissing my hand. 10/10 would recommend. Drinks were really good and strong

i love this club! we went recently for throwback night and the music was great! they do lots of fun events with drag and crowd participation. it’s pretty big too with multiple areas (a dance floor, a separate area with tables and chairs if you need a break to sit) and multiple bars. something i think is great too is they have events almost every single day/night it’s not like they only have stuff going on on the weekends. we’re from out of town and on our last trip to austin it was the middle of the week and all of the other gay bars were super dead but a drag show here saved the night!

Fun energy on a Friday night. Great 80s music until 11:30. Fast, friendly service. Always worth a stop while in Austin.

Unfortunately these people hate people of color. I tried to come in, and they sent me away, saying I was "too intoxicated" but let in a fellow fair skin, that was just about stumbling over himself and about to hit the floor. We have lived in Austin Texas for over three years and this is the first time we have been rejected from a club for being black! Do not recommend, in fact; please avoid at all costs and go to coconut club to feel welcomed. The blonde bouncer is everything we are trying to avoid

Oilcan Harry’s has the best drag shows Austin has to offer. This bar became my safe space. All the queens are stunning and amazingly talented! and I always have to give a shoutout to my bby Harlot!! She is and will always be the reason I fell in love with drag!!
