Voodoo Room

Dirty 6^th… I came back recently for a bachelor party and we had to just experience everything from the east side to dirty 6^th and finishing off over at west 6^th. This is one of the newer additions to the mix. This place is dark and pretty crowded. The only thing that I can remember from the place was they had decent eye candy in the form of go-​go dancers.

Staff are late, tardy, delayed, and lame as f*ck !
It was empty as sh*t on a Friday night with a herb ass dude with cheap 90’s tattoos (think anything tribal related) standing at the door with big ass dumbo ears. Turning ppl away because no one was dressed in his 90’s mall shopping Zumiez attire.
Miss me with this cornball shit !!!

So it’s now been over 45 days since voodoo room over charged my card 950 dollars… Yes 950 dollars. Told me the check was in the mail… I was visiting for sxsw and I am now back in LA. 3 weeks later still no check when they told me they already sent it! Finally today they told me they are ACTUALLY sending the check. Maybe I’ll change the review if I get my money and don’t have to report them. Never experienced anything like this.

Yet another stop on Friday night. Wife wanted some Country music … not sure why we (she) decided the Voodoo Room would have Country. we just left a place that had a Country band.
It was still relatively early in the evening, a small crowd here as the single guitar/​vocalist near the front. Not country, that’s ok. Again, headed to the far end of the bar. Nothing great or not-​so-​great to report. Service was good. Not a lot different here than at other spots up and down the street.
Except the two swings hanging over the bar. Maybe we should stick around for a bit. More peeps moved in; definitely a younger crowd … and some eye candy. We grinned and decided we’d stay for at least one more round. Left while we still felt good about ourselves.
Overall, decent experience. No complaints.

WHOA, GUYS.
There is definitely a huge difference on 6^th Street in Austin at night and in the day time. The day time, there aren’t many people and people seem a lot calmer. It seems as if they’re just hanging out, going to cafes, etc. But at night, there are a lot more colors, louder music, and street performances. The Voodoo Room seemed to be normal when my friends and I walked in for a few drinks before getting started on attacking the streets of Austin.
They started off with having just an acoustic guitar player as the entertainer and as the night just started, the acoustic guitar player was gone, and it was just darkness, black lighting, and dancers at the window. I walked past this place again at night, not realizing it was the same place that my friends and I went to earlier. If I didn’t know any better, it almost looked like a strip club, and you’d have to shout because the music is so loud that it hurts your ears.
They had something interesting that I saw at this bar, it was vapor alcohol. What you do is you inhale the vapor (it comes in a bottle) and you hold it in for three seconds, and exhale through your nose. According to my friend, it tasted like tequila. Did it work? I’m guessing not because he’s fairly light weight, and he was just sober the whole night.
Would I recommend this place? Eh, sure why not… But it’s not the number one bar I would stop by on 6^th street, especially since they’re competing with the others.

We came in early before the late night rowdy crowd. I mean we were a bunch of mom’s just out for a night of fun and we made a stop here because we had an hour and a half wait for our restaurant, so we figured why not grab a drink first and walked in here. The bartender was very friendly and talked with us briefly. The drinks were a good size and price. We ordered 3 drinks (I had a jack and coke) and our total was $ 16. Not bad, not sure if we will be back considering we were there before 9pm so not sure what the late night crowd is like.

I have a lot of appreciation for how clean and neat this place is. The bartenders look sexy yet organized in their work apparel rather than having their own look all over the place. The restrooms were a whole lot cleaner than I had seen for the most part down 6^th street. The darkness in the bar definitely fits their ambiance of mystery and they have TV on, which I thought it was a little odd but did not mind it at all.

I don’t have high expectations for any bar on Dirty Sixth. However, this bar is the worst.
My friend put his phone right next to me on a banquette before going to the bathroom, and a random guy came up, sat next to me briefly, snatched the phone, and walked off! Did you really think I wouldn’t notice that? When we asked the bartenders for help, they tried distracting us and then straight up defended the thief. It turns out this guy works there! When we confronted him, he got aggressive before finally giving the phone back.
Really? This place is a joke.

I’m trying to write this review with a grain of salt.
This is not a bar for me. It’s a college bar. For college kids. That I stumbled into one night in Austin.
Complaining about it and giving it one star would be like walking into a club and being shocked they’re more expensive, or into a dive bar and perplexed as to how dirty it is.
So I am going to think hard and write it as a perspective of 19 year old Mitch.
My chalked ID totally worked. I don’t even think they care.
The shot girl was super hot. The shots though were not. They tasted like water.
Took awhile to get a drink. After awhile my buddies and I left. Girls stayed with the guys they knew. Got a little tipsy though.
End of 19 year old Mitch’s perspective.
So while I’d give it one, 19 year old Mitch is gonna give it three. We agree on two.

They charged me for 100 bucks for the vip section for the New Year’s Eve and Iwanted to grab something from the car and when I tried to get in again I had to wait in the line for like half and hour. So what was the point for the ticket pre sale. I am so disappointed.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! I don’t know what it’s usually like, but we went here on a night where 6^th street was incredibly crowded and had no trouble finding seating for everyone in our party.
I enjoyed the atmosphere, too — it worked really well for my group. And my drinks were all good. My date asked the bartender for any flavored novelty vodka and ended up with some horrible candy-​flavored thing, but it was hilarious and totally on him for not being more specific.
I would totally go back here, maybe we’ll even make it a tradition if it’s consistently good.

Why do I like this place a little better than 3 stars? It isn’t crowded, it has some nice group seating, it’s not loud, and there five individual bathrooms.
When friends and I get together in this area, we’ve always been able to hear one another speak, get drinks quickly, and have room to sit together comfortably. And sometimes that’s exactly I want from a bar.
There are some swings hanging up high behind the bar. does anyone every get up there? That’d be cool. I also liked that they had a bunch of stupid novelty vodkas from the Three Olives brand. I had the «Sweet Tarts» with soda. This genuinely amuses me.
When I’m on this stretch of 6^th, this and BD Riley’s are the spots I suggest.

It’s just like every other bar on dirty 6^th. I actually almost prefer this bar than some of the others but nothing really stands Voodoo from the rest.
Drinks are decently priced, the staff is good looking, and the space is relatively nice. I’m not a big fan of the types of people this bar attracts but that’s typical of dirty. All in all, it’s pretty basic. I’d be fine coming here often or I’d be fine never coming here again.

Just stopped in because of the hilarious sign out front: «soup of the day, whiskey». Brent was awesome. Not only were we greeted immediately and well taken care of, but he also filled us in on everything else happening in the area. Excellent advice for us since we only have 24 hours in town for our vacation. Definitely would revisit, thank you voodoo room for starting our vacation out well

Warning: This bar staffs extreme RACISTS!!!
On Halloween my group, 4 girls dressed as witches, was told that we should leave the bar because we looked ISRAELI and we were making the staff uncomfortable! In the 10 minutes we were there we got a drink, danced around a bit, took pictures in their photo booth and somehow made people think we were, i don’t know, Israeli extremists!!! What fucking idiots!
RACISTS RACISTS RACISTS and ill educated at that!
DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY!

Cheap drinks here! I’m from Los Angeles, so any drinks I find on 6^th street has been pretty cheap. This was one of them. Drinks range from $ 2-​$ 4, even on Friday nights. Can’t beat that!

Had the same experience as Matt. They apparently like to keep credit cards.

Can never figure out when these guys are open… Went there New Year’s Eve and left me card there on accident. Called several times, left messages, even texted the GM Caleb and no answer. Stopped by last Saturday nigh and they weren’t even open… I’m pretty pissed and want my card back. My drunk ass’ fault for forgetting but still who hasn’t forgot their tab befor…
