Best Neon Labyrinth

Coconut Club

Since launching in December 2019, tropical-themed Coconut Club’s huge patio, tucked among high-rises in the LGBTQIA-emphasizing Warehouse District, found an instant afterhours fan base. The hub amends Austin’s reputation as not-really-a-clubbing-town with pristinely picked DJs emphasizing house and electronic in the laser pit. Alongside the queens leading Coco Cxnts Drag Brunch, collaborating nightlife names like Y2K, Shared Frequencies, Peligrosa, and Joaqu.n helped build the mystique. Co-owners and former Cheer Up Charlies bartenders Brian Almaraz and Cole Evans expanded their neon-lit labyrinth to include on-site bar Neon Grotto, eatery Cuatro Gato, and short-lived club Forever Eternal Moments. Now facing demise for a mixed-use tower on Fourth Street, Coco wins Best Developer Baiting for putting “COOL CHEF DRIVEN RESTAURANT” in their Instagram bio.
