Brazos Hall
204 E. Fourth, 512/380-1675
Although Brazos Hall is packed with weddings and corporate events throughout the year, this unexpectedly large venue is one of the best for music in the heart of Downtown. Indoors, the dark wood floors, metal, and exposed brick is great for dressing up or dressing down, atmospherically transporting nearly 1,000 showgoers from Downtown Austin to New York’s meatpacking district. The rooftop, fit for 450 people, provides a gorgeous view of Downtown and beyond. Aside from its regularly scheduled booking, Brazos Hall is a hot spot during SXSW, with past performances including Blondie, Depeche Mode, and Iggy Azalea.
