Bout Time II

Though a lot of bargoers will have to travel a little further up north to get here, Bout Time II is not to be overlooked. For those hoping to avoid the mess of downtown parking, the gay bar and nightclub offers a night of high quality revelry and a diverse haven for the LGBTQ community in Austin. A sizeable dance floor fills up quickly, and there are pool tables and TVs showing the game if you're looking for a more low-key night. Affordable drinks and a welcoming vibe make Bout Time II’s regular Tuesday night drag shows an oasis from the bustle of 4th street's busier bars. They're also the only gay bar in town with a Latin night—Sundays with DJ Pete Mendez.
