Why we like it

An 1878 opera house downtown. Classic room, big energy, and Lauren's team runs a tight ship.

About

The Austin Club is a private club and event venue in downtown Austin, founded in 1949. Its home is the Millett Opera House, built in 1878 as the city's opera house and now a registered Texas historic landmark. The largest room, the Medallion Ballroom, hosts weddings and other large celebrations, with the club's own culinary team and staff.

Rooms for smaller gatherings

Seven indoor and outdoor spaces rent privately for groups of 6 to 60, for showers, private dinners and other celebrations.

How a night here runs

Cocktail hour

Downstairs, with its own speaker setup so the music is going the second guests arrive.

Dinner and dancing

Upstairs in the Medallion Ballroom, every time.

Aaron's tip: where the dj goes

Put the DJ right on the dance floor. The room makes it easy to tuck us in a corner, but our best spot is the middle of the wall, touching the floor. That's where the energy lives.
