Austin is amazing in the amount of incredible innovative bands that play every night in every genre you can think of. Mohawk is a large venue with multiple stages, spaces and plenty of room to chill
David SequeiraJune 11, 2012
AWESOME venue for a show! A wide selection of great places to see the stage! Hit the rooftop bar for a drink and to cool off during the hot TX summer. Inside bar downstairs has a cool atmosphere
Austin ChronicleMarch 1, 2013
The coolest midsized venue in town hosts the cream of the indie crop with two stages, multiple bars, and a wrap-around balcony and patio outside.

My favorite venue in Austin! Intimate outdoor concert space, shows often sell out so get tickets ahead of time!

Man what a venue. Not a bad vantage in the house….that’s hard to find. Great staff and solid drinks offered to boot
Social News NetworkJune 11, 2012
A neat multi-level music venue that features some great artists. Go for happy hour on a "Funk and Soul Friday" from 5pm-8pm and enjoy some good tunes. On these days, there is no cover, but it is 21+.

Hands down coolest music venue in Austin. Head outside to the main stage or up the stairs to the rooftop deck that looks over the stage. If you want a more intimate experience head to the back stage.
Roc NationJune 8, 2011
A local favorite, and with two balconies, indoor and outdoor stages, and a diverse and consistent lineup of extraordinary local bands, there’s no question as to why.
Do512March 27, 2012
Not only great for seeing live shows; they also have a great Happy Hour (funk & soul fridays, anyone?!). Grab some drinks & don't feel bad sitting in the corner...big bear makes great company!
SoundCloudMarch 4, 2012
Great music can always be found at this bar - it is a bit off the beaten path by about two blocks, but make sure to check it out when you are in town!

Great balconies to view band. Good beer selection including local craft beers. Great place to see a show.
RCRD LBLMarch 8, 2011
The balcony is where it's at for the best stage views - and the best company. Plus, you can keep your finger on the Red River pulse without missing a beat from the talent.
EsquireFebruary 3, 2011
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. There's a staircase that leads to three rooftop decks with views of the stage. Go to the highest one, perched under a big oak tree. Read more

Grungy spot. Authentically Austin for locals and tourists alike
Brooklyn UnitedMarch 6, 2012
An awesome outdoor venue for concerts and booze, especially during SXSW. We enjoyed the Ning party in 2011 and will be back for sure!
SpotifyMarch 1, 2013
Two levels of concert stages, and one inside. If you see a line outside, wait, it's worth it. Friendly staff and fun times!

Head to the upper level for a great view of both the bands on stage as well the good looking people in the audience.
Scion AdvisorJuly 27, 2011
You can bounce from two stages and even sneak upstairs for an aerial view of the show. We like the fact that no matter how crowded it gets, there’s never a wait for the bathroom. Read more
Rebecca HueySeptember 21, 2014
One of my favorite downtown venues. Get there early for a good view on the top level.
Murder City DevilsNovember 21, 2013
We will have these screen printed posters at our show on Sunday January 5. Austin is like a second home to use, and while we missed Fun Fun Fun Fest this year, can not wait to get back to The Mohawk.
Gerardo CanavatiOctober 6, 2019
An Austin institution, can’t go wrong with this midsized venue.
Andee Derby-AguileraOctober 14, 2017
Awesome but small venue..
Elissa AtabalaJune 21, 2016
Amazing staff and great cocktails! You really can't go wrong.
Laura DickMarch 10, 2013
Went here for the PayPal party and it was fantastic! The music was wonderful and the atmosphere was rockin!
Visit AustinNovember 4, 2011
A multi-level, indoor/outdoor venue featuring some of the best up-and-coming musicians around. Be sure and visit The Green Room - it's open 'most' of the time.
Chris VicenteMarch 29, 2015
Fun place to see SxSw shows with some good views all around and from the balcony
Jay GrantMarch 22, 2015
Great top line acts during SXSW, open to all ages.

Don't leave before posing for a picture with the bear. He's friendly until you spill beer on him. Don't spill beer on the bear.

Check-in to at least 5 RCRD LBL-approved venues to enter to win an iPad 2! Hint: this is one of them. Head here for deets & more importantly, to discover our favorite SXSW '11 music bit.ly/SXSWRCRD

The multiple, surrounding upper levels are cool, but the best seat and sound is down below.
Listener ApprovedMarch 15, 2012
Easily one of the most badass venues in the city, the staff is professional and the layout is superb.
Jackie MannOctober 4, 2017
Very cool, multi-level venue with a great beer selection.
Rachel MercerMarch 16, 2011
Definitely try to grab drinks & a better view on the roof bar. Fun fact: Michael Cera pwnd that Big Buck Game Hunter in the upstairs lounge.

Best indie live music venue in Austin
Erin GJune 14, 2017
Amazingly set up bar and venue. We had so much fun seeing New Found Glory!
Lorenz LammensJuly 24, 2015
Start on the roof, finish up backstage. Still one of the coolest live venues in Austin, Texas.
Eric LoveMarch 16, 2015
This epic three level monstrosity has mad party vibes. Found the recommendation on my new Supper app: http://supper.mx/places/mohawk-austin/

Great indoor / outdoor venue

To access the secret VIP lounge, knock 12 times on the wall by the restroom. If no one answers that means it’s full.

The balcony is great....but so is the $5 32 oz miller high life's you can get at the downstairs inside bar!

The upstairs green room and the inside bar below have quite possibly my favorite bar decor in Austin... Don't miss the portraits hanging above the bar :)
