This is a MUST DO when living or visiting Austin. It is such a unique experience. Full bar in the breezeway and interior. I sat on the floor row section and the trick is to sit on the 3rd row and up because patrons will be standing on the floor in front of you. Great live music and entertaining to... More

I have lived in Austin 25 years and this is my first time to go to the ACL show. I have been to ACL-fest, but the weekly-ish show is a different venue. We thought sitting on the floor rather than the balcony would be good. We sat about 2/3 the way back on the side and we decided (and based... More

Make sure to get good seats, just get general admission, it's worth the extra ten bucks (most of the time) Full bar. Actually 2 bars. It helps if you're tall when you get general admission, as a general tip. Been to numerous concerts here, all "THE BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE!!" Nothing bad to say about it.

Excellent venue, would bet all the seats are great, ours were in the balcony and they were great and the sound was awesome. Drinks are generous portions, clean restrooms and people flow worked well

Austin highways were a nightmare for this visitor, even with GPS. Not because of traffic, but because everything seemed like a loop-dee-loop, and highway exits that are given up to 3 different names...while GPS gives only one....What Dah? HOWEVER...the local drivers in Austin, bar-none, are THE most patient, polite and tolerant drivers I have EVER had to drive amongst. You... More

We got to participate in the MJ &M benefit concert which was so much fun. This is a terrific venue. All the seat are well placed and good. We will go whenever we can.

Just downright enjoyable! OK more input. Seats on the balcony with good views but a little steep so be careful on the stairs. Alcohol served everywhere so easy to stay lubricated. Nice to walk back to the hotel afterward.

For years, the PBS music program Austin City Limits was shot in a TV studio at KLRU-TV on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. Recently ACL got a major changeover with its new ACL Live - Moody Theater on the south side of the W Hotel in the heart of the 2nd Street district, just west of... More

ACL is a great place. Well thought out plan with few bad seats in the house. The atmosphere is intimate, the drinks are strong! From the moment you enter, you are surrounded with legends: pictures, posters, and other memorabilia regale.

Not the old happy place, but a new serious soundstage with really steep seats....but the offer great seats to everyone. The heart is still there, just a new exterior. I'm not a fan of downtown, but this does save a really great music venue
