Cheer Up Charlies — Restaurant in Austin

Cheer Up Charlie’s is the heartbeat of Austin’s nightlife, a true embodiment of everything that makes this city so unique. Tucked away on East 6th, it’s got that effortless charm—part dive bar, part music venue, all-around vibe. The outdoor patio, with its string lights and cozy corners, feels like a backyard party where everyone’s invited. Inside, the music is always on point, with local bands and DJs delivering the perfect soundtrack to a night out.

The best part? The crowd. It’s a mix of everyone—locals, creatives, and travelers—coming together in that cool, unpretentious way that Austin does best. Grab one of their kombucha cocktails (seriously, don’t sleep on them), kick back, and let the night take you wherever it goes. Whether you’re here to dance, catch a show, or just soak in the scene, Cheer Up Charlie’s is always a vibe. It’s not just a bar—it’s an experience, and it’s a must for anyone looking to capture the...

Great spot for music! My only complaint is that the bartender who served me was on their phone texting while I was waiting for him to ask for my drink order.

This is the friendliest place in Austin! They've got a little bit of everything: DJs, bands, all kinds of shows, fresh juice and a variety of drinks with alcohol or herbal ingredients. They also have a taco truck(Asador) on site that is amazing.

The staff is incredible! ALL OF THEM! They are all super friendly and sexy AF! The clientele are genuinely happy and kind people. This is not a rude vibe kind of club. The people who go here actually smile at and compliment each other.

It utterly warms my heart that a place like this exists. I always want people to be who they are and feel safe expressing themselves in a fun environment.

I go dancing and hang out here almost every night. I do it for all the reasons I've listed above, but most of all—I go because Cheer Up Charlie's is a community of wonderful and...
