This place has beer and set ups. So you can bring your own liquor. It’s has such a great atmosphere and different nights have different kinds of music. The bartender was also very nice and friendly.

This is a must to experience! A good friend of mine who has lived here for over 40 years took me here to listen to live music and have a beer. I've been told you can bring your own hard liquor to drink and they will allow it, because they don't sell hard liquor.

Oh man what a wonderful piece of old Austin! Lovely bartender and doorman. Had a lot of fun seeing my friend play here last night. Good prices and an overall fantastic vibe.

A true - still standing Austin relic. Love catching music at Carousel Lounge and even loved performing their. Huge shoutout to Clutch for keeping that place together, he’s the man!

One of the last Bastions of Austin. The owner will not sell out to the corporate bar conglomerates and I am damn glad she won’t! Great happy hour at $2 beers and $3 rest of night. A classic Austin dive bar that was the Austin before Californiacation. Not to be missed!

This dive bar is a classic not to be missed! Incredibly kind and welcoming bartender. Tough to beat $2 beers over happy hour from 3:30-7:00. You’re actually allowed to bring your own liquor here and they’ll provide you with the mixers.

Great space for chilling and live music. Booths and tables. Fun decor. Huge bar area. It's a little bit like dive bar meets 50s diner under a circus tent.

Great little dive bar. Saw 3 Eye Raven there. Awesome show! The atmosphere is super cool and laid back. I never felt sketched out. Drinks were reasonable and staff was friendly. Would definitely go back.

This place.Oof.This used to be considered a bad area.Now I am unsure if so or not but oh it certainly used to be and I had an apartment near there.I used to go when I needed a beer and they were always very nice to me....at a time when nobody else would welcome me anywhere at all...so kudos to them.♡I do remember a guy trying to get into my car outside very aggressively one night and having to drive off and push the man out of my car.Haha!I would NOT recommend hanging out in the parking lot if it is anything like it used to be...but inside the place is super cool.

Circus themed bar with live music and byob, the Carousel Lounge is a sick visit, but not the place to stay all night. The drinks are moderately priced. On a Tuesday night, a Truly hard seltzer was $4. Not terrible, not amazing. Very unique spot though!

Cool place, definitely got a hole in the wall, dive bar feeling. Worth a stop fir a quick drink. Live music, cool decor.

Would be a lot cooler if they didn’t host people that try to Cyberstalk others online in their off time when they’re not performing.
