Barbarella Austin

It's been a few years since I've visited Barbarella. We stopped by on Friday, Sept. 19th for some 80s jams. Good selection of music however, the DJ is about as friendly as a porcupine. He has no personality and lacks people skills. Poor fella needs to cheer up. Don't ruin our Gen X jams with a pretentious DJ! Oh, and some tall bartender never bothered serving me. I told the other bartender and she apologized for the experience and bought me a shot to show her sincerity. She noticed he was by- passing me when he had no one else to serve.

I was just denied entry with my entire group of friends because I "stumbled" and I was then accused of being drunk and that I had too much to drink. Note: I don't drink and I was with my friends and told the boy that said "sorry I need to keep my job" and its policy to deny my entree due to me "stumbling"? LOL - again guys? I don't drink. This place is wild letting kids run metal detectors at the front door.

Love this club, it’s always a blast. Drinks are fairly cheap. Service is quick, reliable and kind. If you’re new to austin or just want to try a new club they have a back patio dance floor that’s super dope

Themed nights from Tuesgayz (Drag Show), Jimmy Eat Wednesdays (Emo Night), 80's Night Fridays.....this is your spot to let loose in whatever decade you vibed from. Barb's has got ya back and will get you groovin.

if you're gay probably 5 stars, and as a gay person keep going down to 6th. there's nothing for you here. doesn't really matter what night. It’s great unless you're straight and i'm gay so that's how i see it, hence my rating based on my experience. if you're gay you'll feel right at home. (fyi went there on a tuesday night)

Truly the best dive club in Austin. Depending on the day of the week, they offer a night of music for any type of music buff. For me, Y2K night on Thursday is the moment. Can dance there all NIGHT!

Just walk by this bar last night. And I was on the phone while walking and a door open and I ran into the door by accident. And the bouncer tall skinny black dude came out and stood there and I tried to get around him and he block my way. I said excuse me and then he said "you see me right here". He wanted to start a fight with me. To the owners I would be cautious with this dude. He Is gonna get you sewed. Bouncers suppose to deescalate a situation not start one. This guy threaten me multiple times while I was walking away. This was outside on a public side walk.
