The Far Out Lounge and Stage

One of my fave places to check out live music. Gritty (in the best way possible) and raw, this joint brings all the goodness that surrounds seeing a decent show.Live performances are spot on with sound. Nice stage with room to dance.Good drink prices and good service.

We drove in from Houston to watch Still Corners and Alvvays at the Austin Psych Fest here at Far Out. The venue is located in South Austin but they have a decent sized parcel of land to fit a few hundred folks for an outdoor concert. Parking was a bit of an issue but we parked half a mile away and walked over. It was raining during the day but luckily the ground wasn't too muddy thanks to some of the gravel lying around. The sound design for the smaller stage isn't the best and the larger stage has a bass projection that's a bit heavy in a particular direction, but for a mini music festival, it's a pretty cool spot and well organized.

On a balmy summer/autumn evening with a group of friends, this place is fantastic for a chill music venue. There's loads of seating and open space, welcoming in dogs as well, and even a little clearing in front of the main stage to dance, if the music so moves you. Reasonable parking if you get there early, or just drop your car at the nearby HEB and walk a block, if you need to.Cover charges are highly reasonable, usually around $5 - 10 for a lineup of 3 - 6 bands. Don't bother paying in advance to avoid online services fees though.However, there's no food on sight, despite what the website would have you believe, so plan on heading across the street to Torchy's or Michi Ramen if you get hungry. Cocktails are limited and extremely weak; beer might be the better choice, but never my preference. Don't forget the sunscreen and bug spray. You can fill in the blanks there.

The 1 star is for ample outdoor stinky bathrooms. They have more bathrooms than parking spots.Parking help, "If you can't park here, there's no street parking and you'll get towed everywhere... you would have the same problem downtown..." No. They have parking garages downtown. Happy to pay for parking. They should revamp parking. Again, happy to pay. Would be great to prepay with my ticket! They know parking is an issue and they just don't care. Essentially, got a "Sucks to be you" from the door people.Thanks to parking, we missed the opening act. And FYI, HEB has a guy looking for parkers to tow. And yes, Uber would have been great... if they came out to where we live. But they don't. The food trucks looked good, but we ate elsewhere while on the search for a place to park. General consensus from the food trucks was that parking was terrible and this impacts their sales.Beer was overpriced and you had to stand in line for 45 minutes. Consensus in line was that the place used to be great, but it's gone downhill. Not sure if management changed from when one guy sold his art there, but he was no longer a fan.

Came to the Far Out Lounge for the Big Texas Metalfest this past Sunday, and had a great time despite the heat. Every staff member I spoke with was so kind and accommodating, so I don't understand the previous reviews saying otherwise. Getting into the venue was super fast, no lines at all, which is impressive considering we arrived just after opening, and also had to leave and come back a couple hours later, and never waited for entry. Drinks were reasonably priced given that it's a music venue, and there was also a free water station. The only minor critique I can give is that I wish there were tents for shade in the VIP area, and the bathroom trailer in that section seemed to have low water pressure, because it was a bit of a hassle to flush the toilets. Otherwise it was a great time, and I'll definitely be back in the future.

Played here on Saturday night and had a great time! The staff is kind.The sound was good. I played festival style in their outside area and it was real nice outside. I'd play here again.

Fun and open set up. We lounged in the outdoor couch and enjoyed a great relaxing experience. Curious and lively crowd everyone we've visited. Drinks week priced and service is great.

I have been to Austin many times and I hadn't of this place. I only found out about The Far Out Lounge because of the Do More month service. For only five dollars a month I get free tickets offered to me randomly via email. I was offered two free tickets to a show happening at this place. This place is huge and has plenty of seating near the food trucks and the stage. The parking situation was good and the employees were very friendly. The bar had a lot of beer on tap and also cocktails on offer. The Press Kitchen food truck was my choice of the night and they didn't disappoint me. I got the classic burger with no onions(onions are the devil) and extra pickles(pickles get you into heaven). The burger was delicious and it came with a bag of chips. I'm happy that I drove from San Antonio to check this place out.

Took over 45 minutes in line to get a drink. The bathrooms are outdoors, beat to shit and smell. A large portion of the grounds are covered in large crushed rock. The kicker is a couple grand of investment could solve all of these complaints. Idk how they book talent in this city with all the amazing venues we have.
