If you get the chance to go upstairs during a show, keep in mind that the acoustics are best in front of the stage. The view is great upstairs, but the sound is muffled.

Karen Fewell

Where else do you see a guitar off in the street? Visited here during #sxsw - brilliant live music , drinks reasonable price, will go back.

Colleen Carpenter

Great live music and open atmosphere ! Definitely going again next time we are in the area

Lauren Mac

Fun if you like loud music and dancing ! Check out the Shot Bar at the back, if you can squeeze your way through

Lisa

Used to love the bat bar. Then they traded in badass GOGO DANCERS for one slutty girl in a short skirt with her ass hanging out. Bring the talent back!!

Michael Ovalle

I ordered 5 "Bat Shots " and the bartender didn't even fill all of the shot glasses equally. I had to tell him to add more to the last shot. Forget this bar ... But good music though.

Definitely a dancin' sort of bar . Live music during early night and DJ for later. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Adam Rodgers and Chris the cello player are spectacular. They should have played all night long!

The music ! Love Boswell, every Friday from 7 to 10.

Bar that's more like a small club. No covers. Dance floor by the DJ . Good music . Doesn't get going until around 11:30 - midnight

The place is loud and be careful about the bartenders there. Twice i ordered one drink and they tried to switch well drinks and became nasty when u called them out at it. Go somewhere else!!!
