Come and Take It Live

Great venue for metal/rock. Always some touring musicians in the crowd. Everyone is extremely friendly. Don't skip the merch tables in the back. Staff is helpful and courteous. Plenty of parking in their lot. Seating is almost non existent.

A metal music venue that simultaneously gives log cabin and biker bar vibes. Plenty of parking, good beer selection, their lineup of future shows displayed on screens throughout, and live camera feeds of the performance stage near the bar. There are three viewing areas: (1) the floor/pit, (2) a raised platform area in the back of the first floor that's great for petite concert-goers like myself that often have trouble seeing the stage when it's packed; and (3) a wrapped balcony on the 2nd floor. Sound quality is great, I'm not going to pretend like I'm an expert but their speakers and equipment allow for good audio balance. And there's an outdoor space for people to chill, drink, and smoke. Had a pleasant experience, and would visit again!

This place scams people. Will never go back. I checked where to park and the guy said I'm good to park where I did. I came out and there are boots on everyone's cars and they are harassing people to pay $100 to get the boots off. Scam stay away.

Excellent sound and bar. I hope this venue stays in Austin forever. There is plenty of free parking if you're early to the show. My friend's truck got keyed, though, so maybe take rideshare here.

Back in the day I used to frequently come to this venue location when it was known as Kaos Nightclub (good times for sure!) but I hadn't been to this venue now that is it known as Come and Take It concert venue. So imagine my excitement getting to come back to my old stompin' grounds when I realized that the concert I had bought tickets to (Freestyle Divas concert on 05/26/2023) was going to be held here BUT that excitement quickly disappeared once I got there. The outside of this venue is great because it has its own parking lot w/ plenty of parking space all around but the inside has a funky layout of the stage so depending on where you standing, you won't be able to actually see the artists performing on the stage. There were a few small screens mounted on the walls for you to view the stage but with this venue not being very big inside, it goes to show how poor the layout is. It felt very closed in because it was crowded w/ others all around you. To sum it up, not seeing myself attending any more concerts at this venue any time soon. Rebecca

Went to this bar for the two Disney and 2000's throwback nights they've hosted over the last couple months. Both times were meh, to say the least. The only part of this bar that I liked was the music playing, thanks to the incredible traveling DJ's! But that's about it.Don't be fooled by the big "Come and take it live" sign outside. That's about the newest thing in this bar. Everything from the restrooms to the bar area and upper level in the back felt very old and worn. It's also on the smaller side, but that didn't really bother me much. I felt like it was a good size for the type of events I went to.The bartenders are some of the worst I've ever come across and are the reason I decided to write this review. Had some of the worst tequila of my life the first time I was here. The mixed drinks overall were not very good and were watery and weird. The second time, I learned better and stuck to canned drinks. But even their selection of cans is limited. And above all, the bartenders are not very pleasant people. I thought maybe it was just an off night the first time I came here. But both night, every single bartender I ordered from or interacted with was mean and rude. I understand it's a tough job. But this was far beyond an "I hate my job" vibe. I could also understand having to be more aggressive when dealing with people who are drinking. But this wasn't that, either. It felt like they would go out of their way to be intentionally rude. It really takes a lot to leave this much of an impression in a one or two-minute interaction. I've been to a lot of bars in austin in my day but have never been to a venue where almost all of the bartenders are disappointing.Should be obvious by now, but to make it clear, I would not recommend coming here. And if you do, be sure to keep your expectations very low.

By far the WORST venue I have ever been to.Talk about a poor viewing experience, the layout of this venue is absolutely terrible. There is a lower/pit area that is somewhat tiered, and an upper/balcony section that wraps the rectangular area of the venue, with the stage at one of the narrow sections of the area, meaning unless if you're TALL, or right at the railing of the balcony, you are pretty much going to see NOTHING, which is probably why they have TVs in the bar area, so you can really *experience* the concert live...Also because of the layout of the venue, if you're upstairs the acoustics are really weird and don't sound right, and you can't see anything. The tiers in the downstairs are so short that it hardly does anything and they're so small that they get packed and really provide no benefit to being tiered. Definitely won't be going back to this location for another concert - what a shame!

This was a very fun little place. Surprisingly a whole lot of parking for this venue. The sound stage is a little small and extremely loud so please bring earplugs. They're seating areas around the stage too. The bar seems to be filled with everything you could want within reason. You're willing to mix drinks and things of that sort. And if you just want water, their fountain has cups so you can serve yourself.

Great music venue. Love the layout and the sound is great. I also loved the bar staff. Great folks!

The speakers are completely blown out here. The place is pretty big though. Not sure I will go back
