SoundCloudMarch 4, 2012Emo's is an institution. Right on Red River & E. 6th, it is in the middle of the action & the scene there is quite laid back with some rock n roll vibes. Highly recommended.
Scion AdvisorJuly 27, 2011It's one of few all-age venues downtown, has two stages going nightly, and the crowd is as eclectic as it gets. Mingle with people from all walks of life in the courtyard between shows. Read more- Scion AdvisorJune 22, 2011on 07/01/2011: Foster the People run into town with their pumped up kicks, ready to rock and roll and turn you inside out. Come see what all the fuss is about if you can get in the door. Read more
RCRD LBLMarch 15, 2011Check-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- Scion AdvisorJune 18, 201106/02-06/05/11: With more bands than you can shake a stick at, Chaos in Tejas, this fest has you covered. From Fucked Up to Youth of Today, we dare you not to find an act that doesn't fit your needs. Read more
Volcom EntertainmentNovember 19, 2010Don't be fooled by the doormen, they are really nice guys. Two stages, "weird" Austin locals, lots of great drinks...what more can you ask for?
VH1July 21, 2010After the show, walk across the street to Casino El Camino and order a burger from the window inside. You may be waiting a while, but it’s the best burger in Austin. – Robert F.
STA Travel U.S.March 1, 2012This is a great place to hear indie rock, hardcore, punk, alt-country, or metal. – But, we need to warn you, beware the mosh pit!- Scion AdvisorJune 22, 2011on 07/18/2011: Rap rock may not exactly be in style anymore, but at least Kottonmouth Kings do it right. Head back to the past a little and thank God it's not Limp Bizkit. Read more
- RCRD LBLMarch 8, 2011Know the rules: respect the door guys, hydrate at the water cooler between stages & most importantly, have a blast watching the hottest of-the-moment bands! Playing this stage is a rite of passage.
Jeff ClitesMarch 18, 2011Try the Magic Hat #9 beer. Great taste (maybe a peach undertone) and cheap too.
Big RedMarch 17, 2011Great venue, great staff. This is a great place to catch a day-show during SXSW.
SaundraAugust 29, 2011Dirty, grungy and F-in COOL! Whether it's Jr. or the Mainstage - the legendary EMO's always delivers sound the way it should be heard - LOUD and clear
Visit AustinNovember 4, 2011An all-ages rock club with legendary status as a venue for local bands and great roadshows.
Outside bar is cash ONLY. So, make sure you stop at a ATM before you go, or pay the fee at the ATM right outside the door.
Indoor bar has an earplug vending machine ($1.00 in quarters, totally worth it), but it steals your quarters sometimes.
Internet ExplorerMarch 7, 2011If outdoor venues are your thing, roll by the day Music starts and see some great sets before you head back to your cube.
Do512January 20, 2012Come to this Austin establishment for some amazing acts during SXSW. Go to do512.com to see what's happening here
Holly RichApril 3, 2010Don't have cash? Bar by the indoor stage (tv, johnny cash pic) does credit cards. Much longer to get a drink tho. Not willing to wait, get cash to use at the several bars outside.- Scion AdvisorJune 22, 2011on 07/30/2011: Mickey Avalon doesn't exactly sound like a bad-ass rapper name, but his rhymes will tell you otherwise. Head out to see the unlikely rapper put on one hell of a show. Read more
Brandon BurkartSeptember 15, 2011Come see Sleepy Sun // Smoke & Feathers // The St. James Society!!! Monday 9/19/11 at 9pm! Garage/psyche masterminds deep in the grips of an Apache Acid Fever.
Jesse MorenoNovember 21, 2009Bring cash!! The only time I could use my check/credit card at that place was at the merch table. Also, there's free parking under the I-35 bridge just two streets down.
Jayce BeasleyMarch 18, 2010Best place to see a show in town. I even find it hard to leave during SXSW. Read more
Drew MattkeNovember 23, 2009quirky, grungy atmosphere, decent drink prices EXCELLENT bands play here. Not to be missed
Decibel MagazineJanuary 27, 2011The Decibel Sponsored North American Retribution tour featuring Death Angel, Lazarus AD, Early Man, Bounded By Blood and Hexen stops here on 2/14/11
CultureMap AustinJuly 11, 2011The men's bathroom doesn't have urinals; instead, it has a trough. Perfect for making friends!
Paul BanksFebruary 14, 2010Recommended: The Young Republic (touring act from Berklee/Nashville) across the street at Club DeVille Feb 17, 2010. With songstress Lindsay Rae Spurlock and others.
Lon BozarthAugust 12, 2011On Thur mites act like you smoke and go upstairs for free Camel casino nights
Don't be a jerk. Don't start fights. Chill and have a good time...oh yeah...let me take your pic.
Samantha PosinApril 16, 2010Check for shows regularly. I just saw The Temper Trap there for $15.00 and they were AMAZING!!! Read more
- VH1July 21, 2010Wait for the ink to dry before you do ANYTHING. This sounds silly, but Emo's stamps are the inkiest in town by far. – Vidhisha B.
Roberto LoredoFebruary 25, 2011Don't even dare to have fun at a hardcore/metal show here. The guards will kick you out if you stagedive. LAME. Go to red 7
- Volcom EntertainmentFebruary 8, 2011Legends Scott Wino Weinrich and Scott Kelly play a special acoustic show at Emo's on Feb 8th!
Emo's has moved! Now located at 2015 E. riverside! Head to emosaustin.com
