Historic Scoot Inn Reviews

Love this place. Very cool outdoor venue for live music!!

Wonderful small outdoor concert area. Saw Stephen Marley. Great show.

Love this place. It is a great concert venue. I would recommend anyone go here if you want a fun and relaxing environment.

Cool spot. Been here for movie night and Mac n cheese festival

Clean bathrooms, small venue, great for short people (I could actually see the band which is great since I'm only 5'2'')

We hit at a bad time: no music, no other guests, no reason to go thete.

I saw Mac Demarco perform here and the atmosphere was electric. Mac and his band were giving it their all. The crowd was pumped up. A good time was had by all.

The Scoot Inn, as a venue, is the perfect size. Great sight lines and very good sound. The bar staff worked quickly and politely.

This place was awesome. Went here for Yacht Rock Revue and we had a blast. Friendly, professional staff and clean bathrooms made the place all-star. It was easy to get into and easy to get out of. Great place for a live show and would definitely go again.

I do love this place bc they have a performance area outside and inside. Only issue is, when they have performances inside, it brings a lot of traffic and its almost impossible to be mobile in there. But its a cool little place that everyone should check out!

Awesome outdoor venue on the east side. Always booking funky, local bands, I look forward to every show at the Scoot Inn. I definitely want to go back during the day. The outdoor backyard is really awesome.

Love this place! Great chill atmosphere in the bar and also the music venue in the back. Feels intimate without being crowded.

Cute place! It s adorable inside. The bar line gets very long in there during concerts but it is what it is. There s a couple more bars outside. Go early for a show, I saw people still trying to get in when the show was half over

Good place to dance but cover charged on the weekends

Awesome outdoor stage - great sound and lighting! Their crew is on point. A combination of local and national acts, I always have a good time at this east side staple. Oddly enough, its been a while since I've been INSIDE. I loved the old indoor stage, with the men's bathroom right next to it (you got to experience that to really get the full effect,) but I hear they redid the inside so, I am not sure if that is still the case. In any event, the Historic Scoot Inn is a fun place to see live music!

One of my favorite concert venue. Really unique history, with great live music

Awesome place for a concert. Really nice vibe with down to earth staff just a great venue to see a concert. Bathrooms were clean as well. Security is good clearing everyone out after the show aswell.

Doors supposed to open at 8:00 pm for concert. Have advance tickets and been standing in line since then and waiting for 45 mins. No bathroom facilities. Line is very long. Never again

Old school Austin venue made new school (kind of the theme of this part of town). I really do like coming here and the music is often times great - my friend even played here a few years ago though I don't think that their music (or decrepitude - they're all 40's) fit the venue quite right. Also inexpensive.

Great outdoor venue to experience some great artists. The sound is also on point.

Bald security guy is an ass. Most people working there are unhelpful unfriendly.

This venue is rad. It's open and there is a ton of space outside. Unfortunately , during live shows they turn off the taps and only serve beer in cans. They also charge six dollars for a regular size can of beer. I understand that businesses have taken to raising their prices during SXSW but during a local show ? Just seems crappy to me. Perhaps this is what Austin is becoming and if that's the case I'm sad.

Saw Shovels & Rope concert here, great outdoor venue that feels intimate and friendly.

A great place with a great food truck in the front. I ate the quesadillas from truck and the brisket ones were my favorite. A good amount of beer and liquor at the bar. Skeeball inside for you to play with friends. There is also a large outside seating area with a stage for live entertainment. Plenty of things to do for a night out with company.

Parking and typical Austin issues aside, pretty great venue and service.

They have a sizable outside area for music. They also have a tiny inside. Both have decent sound. I like that there's not much around it so there's always parking. Also, skee ball

A very well-known, popular East Austin bar and live music venue. It's got a laid-back beer garden style very typical of Austin nightlife, with plenty of room for large groups to spread out. The drinks are cheap, the shows vary-- sometimes a country band, sometimes a hip hop artist. This is a good stop if you're looking to explore East Austin outside of E. 6th.

I appreciated the proximity to public transportation, considering I visited on ACL weekend and it was easier to walk to the venue and drive. The concert area was very similar to Stubb's or The Belmont, although I was in the second row and still found it very hard to see with the amount of people. The tech was amazing- the lighting and sound technician contributed greatly to the atmosphere of the concert- and the stage allowed us to be up close and personal with the performers. We waited outside for an hour or two before the concert started and the staff was kind enough to bring out a cooler with water so we could have something to drink. The people were very nice and I enjoyed the concert. If it weren't for the fact that the opening act was changed at the last minute and the layout wasn't ideal I would've definitely given The Scoot Inn a better rating.

Great venue for live shows - just saw Sir Sly and St. Lucia there

Cool venue, smaller than Stubbs but the same idea. Great place to see lesser known artists.

Great little bar with comfortable couches and chairs on the inside and a very nice music venue outside. Definitely a piece of Austin history.

Great selection of beer and excellent food to go with it.

Awesome venue for concerts. Perfect location in town.

Bartenders are great, bathrooms are clean, and the converted house and outdoor spaces are both perfect for live music. Can't wait to go back!

Saw LovelyTheBand here a few months ago. Great service and I love te decor of the outside venue. If only I was old enough to use the bar lol.

Great music venue! Cleanish bathrooms for a bar. $8 for a sailor jerry and coke.

Where do I begin? Scoot Inn is one of a kind. From the amazing setting to the assortment of shows (spanning many genres) and events, Scoot Inn is among the premier entertainment venues in Austin. I won a contest for the Wild Child show a week ago and was given a bag of around $100 of merch and two tickets to the show. They are generous and even host events like a weekly movie night with free popcorn. Like indie? This is your spot. Like rap? This is your spot. Scoot Inn is a personal favorite of mine and I highly recommend it to anybody that likes a good time in a fun and friendly environment.

Saw Pale Waves who were great. Though stated that doors open at 7pm, they didn't open until nearly 8:30. Line was pretty long and not well lit, though there was police presence. Bar was efficient. With the recent rains, hard packed mud in front of the stage, crushed granite would be a nice addition.

Great venue for music, great location. An Austin landmark. #localspot

This was one of the places I visited in Austin before I moved here. Great venue, good beers, dive bar. Love this place this is Austin.

Been wanting to come here for a while and our first time was for a Xmas movie night.

Wasn't sure what to expect but my wife and I brought our two daughters, 3 years old and the other 4 months

It was way better than expected!!! The staff there were very generous and it felt like everything was free! (Entrance, s'mores, popcorn, lawn chairs, blankets, even ear muffs for my 4 month old!)

If you go, buy some drinks and a hot dog and give back to this great venue's staff that seems to be giving back to its community through a great night like this!

I like this space a lot. It's like your favorite band is playing in a friend's back yard. A friend who also has a saloon. The stage is very small though and could probably be made a bit bigger. Also, there was a guy in the audience who had his ferrets there? So I guess if your ferrets like rock shows, The Historic Scoot Inn is the place.

This place has been around forever. Changed hands a few times but still fun. Back patio is great for private events. The only bad thing about this place is the small bathrooms!

Really fun and creative place. Lots of games while you're drinking.

Okay inside with expansive outside to chill and watch bands. Bartenders were great too.

What a great venue. Local beer fantastic deck and friendly staff

Cool venue, nice bathrooms, and drinks weren't too expensive.

I had the best night of my life here it's an amazing venue

Great beer selection (get the jellyfish IPA), good DJs on a Saturday night, cozy atmosphere.

I like the outside enviroment. It's cool that you can sit under a tree waiting for a band to come out. The stage is set up nicely as well.

Underrated, off the beaten path, friendly crowd and dark on the inside. Always has interesting bands

I don't come here that often but I do love their stage for outdoor concerts. Decently priced drinks and they actually (usually) have pleasant bartenders.

Fun spot, huge outdoor area with games (ping-pong, etc), casual atmosphere.

A good place to catch a show, Its got that old school feel to it. What I like it's just a couple of blocks from the MetroRail's Plaza Satillo station. There is a food truck onsite, food is okay.

I watched some bands here during SXSW. It s a smaller venue so the views are good. Great place to hang out with friends and have a good time.

Cool outside venue and great sound and stage setup! Plenty of bars set up to get a quick drink too!

Remember when it was Reds Scoot Inn?? Yeah, neither does anyone else. The outside concert area is cool, but the old vibe is gone
