Lustre Pearl

I've been to this location a few times, usually during our multiple annual visits.It was surprising to me that there were just as many locals as tourists.The service was always good.The drinks always delish.

When you're looking for a laid-back outing on Rainey Street, Lustre Pearl is a great find. There's plenty of space to relax both indoors and outdoors. As one of the few remaining original historical homes on Rainey, it stands strong while others around it have modernized into high rises. The drink selection is standard for a bar, and the bartenders here are a bit more grungy.

Great cocktails here!Stopped in really quick here for a cocktail. My wife got some kind of vodka drink and I got an old fashioned. They were both really good and went down smooth. This place jammed for a Wednesday night, but being in the heart of Rainey Street, I wasn't too surprised!

I visited Lustre Pearl on New Years Eve after attending a wedding and was surprised that it wasn't more crowded! We immediately went to the bar and ordered our drinks to get the party re-started - I ordered the Deep Eddy Frozen Cherry Limeade. My drink was so good but also incredibly sweet so it was something I had to nurse a bit so that I wasn't on sugar overload/ sick to my stomach. I was also handed (from a friend) a shot that was recommended by the bartender. I can't remember the name unfortunately and only recall that the first word was Vegas. The shot was also sweet but that is preferable to something that burns too much. They played fun music which was throwback to my 3rd - 6th grade years and left us all without voices as we sang our hearts out to the songs. I did enjoy my time at this bar but prefer other bars on Rainey Street based on the inside seating area/ ambiance. I would give it another chance, but would keep it as a quick stop and not where I close out the night.

These guys are Brilliant! We came from Houston Texas and we are so impressed! The drinks are amazing the best ranch waters you've ever had! They have cornhole and darts in the atmosphere is Amazing

Came here late afternoon while in Austin for a drink and to relax, played some ping pong, had a nice conversation with Scott the bartender. They have a killer whiskey shelf that Scott is in the process of building up, Weller 12 and special reserve at super affordable prices, food trucks of plenty great stop for a casual hang, drink and a game of ping pong with friendly strangers.Recommend when on Rainey St.

Nice casual spot on Rainey, not too packed & multiple bars to get drinks with small lines. Bigger than it looks with cornhole and projector in the back. A lot of places to sit. Upstairs was a vibe.

Wanted to show my out of town guest Rainey Street. So we came here, which also happened to be my birthday. Had the best time. Music was great, dancing and mingling with everyone. Great vibe. There's a patio, some lawn games, there's an upstairs as well. Basically we stayed down stairs with the DJ and danced. There is no cover to get in. Everyone gets carded no matter how old or young you look. Be sure to have your ID out to allow the line to get keep moving. Had such a great time being in the moment, I didn't even think about taking pictures. You'll just have to check it out for yourself. Enjoy

Great service, nice people and good drinks would visit again. the little area in the back has ping pong and corn hold

This place is an institution on Rainey. I've been coming here years, the Lustre Pearl is as authentic austin as it gets. Great live music, corn hole out the back, the bartenders are real but fair. There is nothing not to like about this place. Act like an idiot yep you will be thrown out, but that's what also makes it a good place to drink. Less hectic than the bars around it. And lower more palatable volume of music.
