Latchkey

Our group of 11 pulled up to Latchkey as our first stop of a night out and we were obsessed. Nothing brings people together like 2000s music blasting while scream singing in unison. I'm talking T.I., Natasha Bedingfield, Drake and more. The bar is huge, with indoor and outdoor spaces. It is also encouraged to dance on the patio tables, so I love that for everyone.If you are looking for a chill place to have drinks with friends, this is not it. If you are looking for a packed bar with great music and the ability to dance with strangers, this is definitely it.When we were leaving, they played bad bunny and I was so impressed at the range and genres of music at this bar! The line definitely gets very long so I would try and show up here on the earlier side, especially if you're in a big group.While it gets really crowded, there are multiple bars so it never took too long to get a drink.

Latchkey will forever go down as one of my favorite bars EVER. My friend and I were visiting Austin for the weekend and latchkey was suggested to us as a bar to check out. Little did we know that we'd end up here every night because we loved it so much. The DJ knows what he's doing. Disco, 90's, early 2000s, remixes, everything. There's three rooms (2 indoors and one massive spot outdoors with picnic tables and a food truck), a photo booth, bathrooms, and the best staff ever. Shout to the bartender Vance -- the nicest man and the best bartender. He made our whole trip. We want to come back to Austin just to see Vance again. To boot, we got nachos from the food truck out back TWICE because they were just that good. Incredible place.

Kind of cool, music was fine. Outside is much better than inside. Drinks are overpriced.

Fun club, good music, great bartenders. Waiting 15 minutes for the bathroom? Not ok. Great way to lose your crew and basically end the night because you have to pee. Needs more toilets.

Latchkey was a terrible experience - I would recommend anyone to stay far away and save both their money and time.Horrid experience with the staff here, with unpalatable food and drinks. The music was hardly any better.Any self-respecting individual should absolutely avoid this place.

Latchkey is a must for a Friday or Saturday nights. Lines can get pretty long, but I don't think I've ever had to wait longer than 5 minutes to get in. The bathroom lines are a different story, so be prepared to wait quite a bit. The bartenders are friendly and quick and I love when they remember my drink and start working on it before I even order, so extra bonus points for that. Bird Peterson is the DJ on Fridays and Saturdays and his lineup is what all my dancing/singing dreams are made of. Prepare to get sweaty even during winter and to leave with dirty AF shoes. It'll be worth it though. I promise. If you get hungry both the loaded nachos and the Mexican hot dogs from the Smokin Rose are pretty legit.

Great music, packed crowd, awesome food truck! My friends and I enjoyed this dive bar thoroughly as a good place to end the night! People were all over the tables dancing and just having a good time. Definitely planning on returning!

I'm partial to clubs with a beautiful outdoor space for live music, and this one certainly hits that target, though it isn't as large as some of the other nearby club-with-patio venues. I hardly noticed the inside of the place this weekend, as it was SXSW and we were there to see the bands set up on their back patio stage. The bands drew a large crowd but the bartenders and adjoining food truck were able to cheerfully keep up with orders. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the sound and lighting systems were well balanced. Kudos to the sound engineers and stage manager.Half of the outdoor area is covered and the part in front of the covered stage is wonderfully open to the sky. A couple of VIP style port-a-potties were set up near the food truck, and there's a full outdoor bar underneath the covered section, so really there was no need to venture back indoors.Drinks and food are about average for East 6th club pricing. The food truck menu could use a few more vegetarian/vegan options. Parking is always an issue anywhere down in that area, so know that you are on your own in that regard. All in all, a great East 6th Street club for live music, drinks and snacks.

i absolutely love latchkey, it's my go to bar on the east side!! it's got good music, tv's to watch whatever game, and plenty of outdoor seating. the food truck is pretty good. there's a fun vibe inside with the couch and big chairs too. the service is always great here. i'm esp happy to see the bartender leesee? lisi? (the brunette one) is working when we stop in! she has the best energy, love getting to chat with her & she's so quick and on top of everything

Obsessed w this place. DJ absolutely kills it, played a ton of Chappell roan which was so fun to sing along to. Watched some football here out back. Very lively place. Line can be long to get in but well worth it
