Wednesday night July 5th 2023 going into Thursday July 6th 2023 we came to Rain this gay bar never been here before with another person we are from out of town we were coming from the gay bar next door and were walking over next to Rain the door staff looks at me while I walked up to the entrance and the first thing they say to me is you looked like you were stumbling while walking over here you look intoxicated is Rain the gay bar the new Austin Police Department?? Performing sobriety, test! before we let you in we are gonna do a sobriety test to make sure your not intoxicated I said I haven’t had any alcohol or even one drink tonight yet so I’m clearly sober they respond with oh really you haven’t had anything to drink? Nope absolutely not so they then say we’ll can you hold out your arms and walk straight on a line with my head up so I did and I obviously passed then they had me empty my pockets then scanned me down with a wand to check for any kind of metals I understand scanning for metals and emptying my pockets but assuming I’m intoxicated when I’m not and haven’t had anything to drink is ridiculous the door staff had no compassion for myself or anyone else definitely do not see myself coming back to Rain or bringing anyone else and not referring anyone to this establishment all it takes is a word of mouth and a bad reputation which was displayed on tonight by your front door staff employees do better Rain in Austin because this will make you lose business going forward and if it continues it will stay that way you’re suppose to be gay club supporting the LGBTQ community not a straight homophobic bar disowning you’re own people who are apart of the community we don’t just come to support your bar for no reason and since it was our first time here too that’s a terrible first impression great job Rain!….. also the person I was with they didn’t tell him he was stumbling or intoxicated just myself they just had him empty his pockets and use there handy-dandy magical gay wand to check for metals it’s just so wrong and discriminatory against certain people who only want to have fun and enjoy your establishment no longer

Fun story. I'm a 47 year old woman. Last night me and a date decided to have a walk to the 4th Street district after a large meal and two drinks (over a 2 hour time frame) at Eddie V's. I was wearing wedges and my feet were very sore. My date helped me to step down off of the curb because my feet and my back were sore. I'm also only 5 feet tall and have teeny legs. The door people were telling another couple that they were soon having karaoke and I turned to my date to say that would be fun. As soon as the couple went inside, a very young blonde girl with short hair put her hand out and said "I watched you stumble across the street. You can not come in here." I was taken back for a moment because I was completely sober from my large meal and two small drinks and then a long walk. And my date has confirmed that I was in no way "stumbling." Lol. But having worked the bar scene before college 20 plus years back I knew that arguing was not going to help! I stood there perplexed and said "okay." I didn't try to explain that I had just had a long walk in wedges and my date helping me and my short legs step down to cross the road was not what it appeared to her. I was just polite and walked past. She was super young. I held no grudge. We approached the door to Oil Can Harry's and as we stopped, she began to stand out on the sidewalk and give a whistle signal to their door person! That was too far. Even my date mentioned that she must have some sort of personal problem with me or my appearance. I just had a house fire. And lost most of my clothes. So I had a funny but stylish t-shirt. Free People jeans and wedges. Not fancy but I did my best. Young lady, don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I'm approaching 50. I had a large meal and a long walk. Then you watched what a person my age looks like being assisted to step down by a gentleman because at this age.... Heals hurt. I was nice because you looked like my daughter. And you seemed so sure of my intoxication depute my sober demeanor. Lack of arguing. And kindness while you treated me like a drunk. I was sober as a judge. I can say that.... I used to work as an investigator before my body gave out.

bartenders and most of the doorpeople were lovely and patient even when i was probably annoying before this incident (I presume based on how I was treated by this gentleman,) venue is meh but pretty much the ritz compared to my experience with one of the staff outside this gentleman would not stop engaging me despite me standing and doing nothing, and trying to instigate some weird verbal confrontation with me which started when i tried to calmly explain i was simply waiting outside for my uber because i had been followed by a strange car and groped in the same fifteen minutes (whilst trying to walk home barely got across the road lol,) my phone was dead, and i was uncomfortable. i was not inside the venue nor up to anything, this guy just started haranguing me which was shocking because it seemed apparent he worked there but I was not entering anyways because it was closed. idk what i did to upset him earlier i guess but he was being incredibly hostile, passive aggressive, and weird to me I was standing in the public sidewalk, AKA not doing anything wrong nor causing any issues, and honestly I just wanted to feel a little safer near people it was really awful and made me have a pretty bad night on top of being followed by a strange car earlier which is why i was standing near other people in the first place. i live here and have gone downtown dozens of times with no issues, all on 4th. this was the first time i ever talked to rain staff other than bartenders, and i regret it thoroughly. I'm never coming back. i'm so sorry to every doorperson there that was so polite and tried to stop him from being weird, but that guy made an already awful night so much worse. I guess he was having a bad night too but it was really unsettling behaviour, and I'm just gonna stick to OCH from now in which is way more professional.

I have been to Rain on 4th many times while visiting Austin in the past and have made many great memories there, however I do want to make my last experience known. On December 30, me and a small group of friends kept with our New Years tradition and we visited Rain around midnight. We had just arrived arrived and bought a drink(the bartender was awesome) and when we got to the dance floor, we started singing and dancing to the music, as we should in a dance bar. After a short time on the floor, I noticed a gentlemen going around to other groups on the dance floor and either aggressively shouting at them or removing members of the group from the bar. I understand on occasion this is necessary, however when the gentleman reached the group I was with, he told us, very aggressively, that we need to keep our volume down and that we shouldn't be shouting in the bar. Obviously we were confused, so when talking to the bartender, he told us that the gentlemen was the manager. We continued to see a few other occurrences where the manager removed people from the bar for numerous reasons. One lady was dancing lower to the floor (killing it I might add) and he told her she was too drunk and had to go. One member of our group asked the manager in passing if there was a method to his madness. Since the bar was less than half full, I can't imagine why he would be removing people for singing loudly to the music they were playing or for dancing on the dance floor. I want it to be known, I have had many great memories in the past at Rain, and I hope that they can get the management together again so everyone can experience and remember Rain as it should be.

Honestly if I could do 0 I would. Rain used to be such an inclusive place but recently it feels they have hired a lot of negative bartenders. Today I was attacked by a bartender out of nowhere. I wish I would have asked his name but I didn’t because I and everyone else was so shocked by his behavior. I came in with a fan that I absolutely did clack. I clacked it twice. Once when I entered the building and once to hype a friend. Probably twice within an hour and maybe for a minute each time. Annoying? Maybe. Hype? Absolutely! For sakes they sell them on 4th! The bartender came up to me out of nowhere when I was just talking to my friends. Fan no where in my reach. To tell me how annoying and disruptive I was. Not kicking me out or telling me to leave. But just attacking my character. He then turned and gathered the bar to cheer and clap for him. Making me feel so belittled and embarrassed. Which was ultimately his intention I work in social media with other customers so I do not write this review lightly. I understand it’s a bar and there are alcoholic drinks. But for people to feel embarrassed and excluded in a place that is supposed to be a safe haven it’s just unacceptable. My hope is that the managers and owners teach their employees to be tolerant and accepting. No matter the situation. Even if I was “disruptive” I shouldn’t have felt so secluded and embarrassed by the entire bar. Bottom line, if you’re looking for a bar that is inclusive of all there are plenty of other bars on fourth.

We were taken here by an Austin local and we were SO happy they introduced us. This is the place to be! We went on a Monday night and it was POPPING with all sorts of characters and groups, but the general vibe was just get some drinks, sing some songs, and have a LOT of fun. I made a couple of new friends just by dancing with them and complimenting their fits.Bartenders are definitely working really hard to get everyone their drinks, and the wait time to get served is not that long at all. Shots they pour are also on the heavier end, so you’re definitely getting your moneys worth. They can play literally any song since they’ll just pull up the instrumental from Youtube and project it onto the wall. There is a queue to put your song in, so you might be waiting for a while. I’d recommend putting your name down for a song before you get your drinks. If you’re looking to sing multiple songs that night, also keep this queue in mind. Most singers were solo, but my partner and I chose a duo song. One mic is wireless, but the other is wired. We heard all kinds of songs that night, the most memorable being “Dicked Down in Dallas”. Suuuuper fun time, would highly recommend. I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in town.

I am not writing this review lightly because this used to be one of my favorite places. Last night, my friends and I went to have a good time and I got double billed for 1 round and I am pretty certain that one of the bartenders/staff was in on my friend and I's phone being stolen. Both my friend and I had our phones swiped at the exact same time and we asked the staff for assistance as we had no way of getting home and presented an unsafe environment and they were too bothered over serving the patrons to be bothered to assist. Ironically several of the groups phones were also missing and we would like to think otherwise; however, we feel the staff had something to do with it. I don't like to throw accusations out there - but this is very fishy and this was the first time the staff was unkind all around. Sad, because this used to be a place where all were welcomed and treated kindly.

The reviews warning about getting pickpocketed here are true. When I was here last, my phone was stolen from my pocket, and when I told the front door person, bartenders, and bouncer what happened minutes after, they didn't make any move to help or even pretend to care. When I called the next day, it went straight to a voicemail instructing callers to email the venue if they're looking for a lost item. No other option. And, of course, no one ever emailed me back. Definitely seems like theft is a normal part of the Rain-on-4th experience and that the staff is maybe even in on it. If you're looking for a fun place to dance and drink, go literally anywhere else. But, if you somehow unfortunately find yourself at Rain, make sure that your phone is backed up and that you have theft insurance so you can get a quick replacement when it gets stolen.

This club is a blast. Great music, strong drinks, a nice big dance floor, and a really good mix of clientele. The bar is separated into some very cool areas to hang out. On a different note, we were VERY impressed with security. There was a girl on the dance floor who was very drunk and started yelling at one of my friends because his arm brushed against her while we are all dancing on the packed dance floor. We tried to explain that it’s hard to not brush against people when it’s that crowded and then she pushed him as hard as she could. Security was amazing and quickly ushered her out, apologizing for the situation. This might seem like a strange thing to post about, but gay bars are a safe space, and when the staff puts that above making money, it means a lot. We will definitely be back to Rain when we visit Austin again.

Used to come here all the time but it’s gone downhill. Got my phone stolen here and they just said “it happened to a lot of people last night”. Instead of maybe looking out for the individuals that do those things? I’m not expecting them to hunt anyone down or give me a hug it was just obvious that they know it’s a reoccurring problem and do nothing to stop it. Then the person at the door didn’t let me in another night because I was “too excited” to run into people I hadn’t seen in years. They just kept saying that I didn’t fit the vibe. Literally the only straight person in my group do I dare to say they identified that and discriminated? I don’t know, but I can say they are trying to bring a Miami vibe to Austin and it’s sad to see.

I was visiting Austin and decided to sample the queer "scene." To that end, I checked out Rain, Oil Can Harry's, and Cheer Up Charlie's. Of the three, Rain was definitely the most pleasant experience. Both the coat check guy and the bartender with the exposed midriff were super sweet and warm (and cute). I started with Rain then went elsewhere for an hour or so, then came back. They recognized me and didn't charge me to recheck my coat, and even comp'd a bottle of water for me for no reason other than to be nice. The music was good, and the crowd seemed less conceited than than the average assemblage of gay men in a bar, and of the three places I visited, it was the closest to 100% target space. If I come to Austin again, I'll definitely be back.

My friends I went there only for a strange man to sit in a corner and take pictures of us with his flash on. When we confronted him and let the bartenders know they pointed us to the manager whose response was to throw us out for being too loud and doing nothing else about the weird man. After we were put out the manager tried to apologize and said he was overwhelmed by us complaining. The only reason I'm not giving this 1-star is because the bartenders and doormen were sympathetic and very kind. I'm still confused on how a wednesday night with a near empty bar the manager was overwhelmed and decided to not do anything to help make the bar a comfortable place for his patrons but I won't ever go here again

My wife and myself went to the club last night. Had a great time until end of the night when we went home and discovered that they charged our card. Almost double what the receipt said. They do not answer phones. They've got their email blocked. I would have gave him a four-star possibly five but I don't know what kind of scam their bartenders think they have going. They will be investigated by the attorney general and the TABC they have continued trying to bill her card and they have been reported to the attorney general and the TABC. I work with some of the most high-profile attorneys in the city and unfortunately most people don't know how to get things done. I do. I am working on putting them out of business for FRAUDULENT BILLING

I used to love coming here. Bartender was so sweet and suggested amazing new shots. BUT the DJ for karaoke night was so degrading. Told my friend and I I we would have to perform sexual acts on him later. Joking or not, it’s disrespectful. You have no idea what each individual people have been through. He should be held accountable. Distasteful and degrading. Most importantly hurtful. Wish he would have been more thoughful over his word choice. I went there having a great time with my friends and left in tears feeling so disrespected. As a woman, I feel more comfortable going to a gay bar, but I felt violated. Bartenders are super hard working and sweet. But dj crossed boundaries. Very disappointing

The doorman/bouncer was uncool. She checked my 30 year old sister in laws ID and tried to say it was a fake. After 20+ minutes of waiting in line they said they wouldn’t let me in. I asked why and they said “for certain reasons”. I asked them why and they said “I can’t say”. I assume it because they thought I was too intoxicated but I had only been to one bar prior. I don’t go out much so a couple drinks is more to me than the average patron. Highly wouldn’t recommend because the bouncer/doorman was extremely rude to every female identifying person in my group. -10/10 don’t recommend. Go to coconut club for a 100x better time. I am writing this as I’m at the club Nextdoor - much better vibes.

There was a staff member this evening wearing a green hat with a smiley face that was exceedingly rude. I'd followed a friend into a bathroom stall to help with a personal emergency and this staff member immediately screamed at us about keeping one person to a stall. This immediate escalation is especially upsetting considering that so many in the LGBT communities have trauma in their past. They then yelled again at this same person not five minutes later for standing by a corner, waiting for me. We can understand enforcing rules, but this type of communication is not acceptable and quite concerning. There's a correct, fair, polite and non-triggering way to communicate.

I had been to Rain several times, and was always impressed by their welcoming attitude and hospitality during the COVID social distancing situation. However, last night, the dour-faced guy at the door (Simon), came up from behind me from the left side of the partially opened door, grabbed me by the shoulder and yelled "Hold on!." No, "Hello," "Welcome to Rain," or "Where would you like to sit." I asked to speak to a manager whereupon he showed me the "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" sign and told me to leave. Horrible attitude and service these days and I reserve the right to never go back. If you're looking to be manhandled, it's the bar for you!

I had a truly wonderful experience here. My femme friend and I had a horrible experience with a man who was being inappropriate with women - I reported this man to our amazing bartender Justin, and immediately he respected our experience and called security. Brandon, on security showed up within seconds and asked me to point this person out. I did, and immediately he was asked to leave (and did). That my experience was taken seriously and treated with respect was refreshing and turned a negative moment into a positive one. Thank you, Rain staff for upholding a safe space for all.

I’ve been to the bar many times before, so this isn’t my first rodeo. Went to the bar to order a vodka tonic and they cheated me of my drink. I saw the bar tender get the bottle of vodka and tip it in my cup simultaneously and immediately put the tonic into my drink (which we all know the tonic and fountain thing releases liquid faster than the liquor bottle.). I feel like I didn’t get what I paid for. My drink literally tasted like tonic and not vodka in it. I came to rain, sober. Ordered a second drink and saw the same happen. Just wanted to let you know of my experience.

So Rain has continuously don’t this. They are charging sometimes $60 for two drinks. The old bar tenders do not do this. However, it is a practice of new bar tenders to over charge. Someone is training them poorly. I’ve been going here 10 years and I’ve never seen it this bad. Something needs to be done about this. 4 drinks of single bourbon and coke shouldn’t result in a $100 bill. It’s insanity!!!!!! This makes me not want to go into rain again! I know it’s become the bar for tourist but still, treat your long time loyal customers fairly.

Me and my wife went there for my birthday and noticed today they charged me TRIPLE what they were supposed to charge it's very unfortunate that they do that because I like that place but taking advantage of patrons because we're only able to use a card is there is crazy. I already filed a fraudulent claim. To anyone thinking of going there be very weary of your credit card charges they have changed 1 of 3 charges to a different higher amount they will try to pull a fast one. Most likely we won't return unless they allow cash again.

When into Rain when our bike bar stopped nearby. Walked in and from the get-go, the bartender seemed to be very judgmental. My bridesmaids crew was trying to make a Tik-Tok off to the side in the back by the dance floor which nobody was at, and the bartender came around and told us that we shouldn’t waste their napkins when we had only gotten 4 napkins and we were using them. I’m not sure what the problem was for us being there but even when we ordered drinks, he definitely wasn’t friendly. Will not be going back at all.

The club is fine, in the sense that I haven't encountered anything dodgy. However, it has a weird setup for the dancefloor and it's too lit, at least compared to clubs in Europe. Music is very bad, too many songs you can't dance on. If you have a look on Grindr before coming you'll be disappointed by the reality. About half the patrons are men, many couples, not really a hook up place (the men are also quite shy; not the women tho, they push and bump like they've skipped the good manners lessons in their childhood).

This bar is always a pleasure to visit; whether it’s for a relaxing, yet upbeat happy hour, or if you’re into the late night scene, Rain doesn’t disappoint. Thursday nights are the place to be with amateur strip off! On that note: Friday and Saturday nights are also bumpin’! Sunday Funday is always great given how big the space is with tons of patio space and a great light up dance floor. This LGBTQ+ bar is definitely a must if you’re visiting, or simply a local looking for a fun time out in The Warehouse District.

Awesome! The music, people and atmosphere were on point! Drinks were expensive though, I recommend pregaming but toss out any left overs before you get there. I saw them make at least two people dump their drinks. Draws a large crowd of cool people! Also worth mentioning is their AWESOME LIGHT UP DANCE FLOOR! Its gorgeous and truly elevates your time here to An Experience! Cool lounge area! Bathrooms were kind of a mess but what could you expect? Definitely a Must Stop for Austin lgbt fun!

Everything about Rain is fun except the manager. Everyone was having a good time dancing and we were told to ‘stop screaming’ when we were Wooing for a song. Another group on the dance floor was kicked out for ‘screaming too loud’ IN A BAR!! When we confronted the manager he kicked our group out of the bar. During this he put his hands on multiple people in our group as we were walking out. This establishment should not be supported if this type of management is present.

I swear this has happened to me twice at this bar where I pay for one drink and they charge me for almost double the price. I stopped here during pride last weekend and showed a $11 charge to my card…fair, Austin is expensive as hell right now. I didn’t close out my card (most places typically add 20-25%) and saw that my $11 charge had turned into $28! I don’t know if this place is desperate for money or what, but this is not the first time this place has been sketch.

I was reprimanded and treated like a child for dancing at my table. I had my mask on and was not near anyone else, I just chose to stand and a good song came on so I lightly danced in place where I was standing then I was asked to stop or leave. I feel like that could have been handled in a more friendly manor since I was not disruptive however the manager seemed to be upset and angry at everyone. Not entirely sure why, but it was only my 2nd time there and my last.

**ALERT** RACIST AND UNSAFE FOR BLACK PEOPLE I was called a n**ge* and attacked here by some racist pos patron. Rain kicked me out and had the police come for me even though I was attacked. only just got clear of the swarming police. This place attracts hardcore racists and they will not protect you. Even worse they will call the police potentially getting black people killed. Regardless of background, this place draws ignorance, violence, and drama. Stay away.

The bar itself is pretty good, but I got my phone stolen last night from my pocket--and I was told to come back when they opened tomorrow, I just called them NINE minutes after they opened, it rang until voicemail, and then when I called again, it was busy. Same with my other friend's phones. Ridiculous. It's literally NINE minutes after they opened, on a Saturday, surely they can answer the phone, instead of taking it off the hook.

The bouncers on 06/12/2023 for pride were absolutely disrespectful and discriminatory against me because I am black. The front male person let my friends in for free but did not let me in with the group for free because I am black. I will absolutely never ever go back again, and this club will get a legal formal complaint from me for discrimination.

Rain is a staple on 4th st. Every bartender has been nothing but kind and pleasant to me. The door staff have been awesome and helped answer any questions about new policies (wanding down people, etc.). Never had a bad experience. The bar and its staff are fair if you act like a fool and break the rules you’re asked to leave, just like any other place.

Amazing music. That's the first thing that stands out. Went a couple nights ago, saw a drag show and then danced until 2am. I really appreciated how great the music was. Other than that the bartenders and other people in the club are all extremely nice. Fun to dance with and talk to. The drinks were pretty average and got the job done, but nothing to brag about. Overall, I'll be visiting this club again many more times.

Absolutely love the bouncers here. 100% caring and kind individuals. I was waiting for my Uber when my friend left and waited next to them. We got to talking about the craziness going on downtown/ at Rainey lately and one of them went inside and offered me a pepper spray since I didn't have one. The fact that they simply cared for the safety of a random person speaks volumes!! Love this place and the people in it sm ❤️

I do not understand why the door staff has to make people feel so uncomfortable. Every time I go I have a horrible experience with the door staff. With everything going against our community I come here to find love and acceptance. Where is the love? She checks my id and says "proud of you". For what? What is that supposed to even mean

Had an amazing night until some creep started following us around. He followed us outside as we left and attempted to start a fight. Kelsey stood with us the entire time it took for our uber to pick us up. They waited and helped keep this person away from us. AMAZING HUMAN BEING! Thank you so much, you and your team turned what could have been a really scary situation into a safe night. Thank you!!!!

This place is a good gay bar to go to if you want to dance. That being said, their dance floor is TINY!! They could stand a redesign to make it larger and maybe make the patio a bit smaller. The bartenders are always really nice and serve great drinks, the music can be a bit hit or miss, but its usually hit. All in all, check it out and if you dont like it, check out some of the other bars next door.

***I’M POSTING THIS FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S AWARENESS*** The club is great. Really solid spot with a good vibe and reasonably priced drinks. But beware of thieves. Someone reached into my girlfriend’s purse and stole her phone while we were on the dance floor. The staff can’t do much unless a lost item is given to them but beware that there are people here that are looking to pickpocket.

Visiting from out of town, enjoying ourselves. While dancing an employee pushes us to move because he had to come through without saying excuse me. He pushed both a guy but also a lady dancing and then when he got a reaction we were kicked out. Kind of bs... we came to this bar because we were in the area heard good things. If you want to push people expect a reaction. It was rude.

This place was the most disappointing place. My first and last time coming here, very surprised they have not yet to get sued, for fraud. I bought 4 to 5 rounds of drinks and shots total price $215.69 and then they charged my card three more times for drinks I did not buy, in total of $164. Thinking about taking further action, as to see I am not the only one they did this to.

We frequent this bar often. My girlfriend wasn’t feeling well and I was ok the bathroom stall with her. The security guard (Kirstin) slammed on the bathroom door repeatedly, followed us out and had an extremely aggressive demeanor towards us as we asked for our checked jacked until we left. Because Of her and this experience we will not returning to this bar.

Amazing atmosphere, the dance floor was crazy colorful, and the people I met were super cool. They've got a seating area in the front and a cool patio in the back. There's no rules for the restroom, anyone can go into whatever restroom they want and not be judged which I thought was really sweet. Plus, for being such a packed place, it was really clean.

Don't even waste your time at the other bars. This Bar has everything! A light up dance floor. Super sexy couch cushions and excellent drink specials every single night! (Tuesdays are Dollar Wells!) Super friendly door staff and bar staff. Other than Barbarella on Tuesdays this place is always the place to be! Become a regular you will be glad you did!

Seems like there’s an ongoing issue here with the bouncers saying people are drunk when they aren’t. Bouncer- have you had anything to drink tonight? Umm yeah. Bouncer- you can’t come in you’re drunk. I am? When you see other reviews on the same issue you realize that you, in fact, were not the problem.

Music is always pretty good. Drag shows are always entertaining. Used to come here with the wife because we used to hear the best dance music in Austin playing here (we are not gay but not judgmental). The only drawback are two of the bartenders here who are not very friendly. Got tired of the dirty looks so I haven't been back in two years.

Positives: big dance floor, spacious club in general and usually good music—- Negatives: Too many annoying Straight women screaming “Woo Hoo” and getting overly grabby with the dancers. Whenever there is any kind of show, it’s usually the groups of straight chicks that rudely push their way to the front as if they own the place. Go.Away.

If any of you wanna have a great night life at 4th Street, go to Rain ! People here always bring great vibes to the dance floor, bars, & hangout area whether visitors or the staff people. Rain is so chill & fun to be at y’all; spice up y’all’s weekend over there. You wont regret it.

This is Austin's best gay club since Kiss & Fly closed down. I love Thursday nights as the have the Amateur Strip Contest. Many of the college boys hang out here, so there's always something to see. It seems they play the best music on Thursday's as well. The dance floor is small, but I love the lighted dance floor in the middle! Fun!

During my visit to this bar, I was disheartened by the encounter. The employees and managers displayed a discourteous attitude, which created an inhospitable environment. Additionally, the beverages were expensive and lacked quality. The bar's cleanliness and appearance were unsatisfactory, further diminishing the overall enjoyment.

they kicked my girlfriend out and banned her until she’s 21 because she had a redbull on ice but didn’t tell her that she wasn’t allowed to have a drink in a glass. we were having a great time until they kicked her out all because of a rule that we didn’t know about. rain staff need to be more transparent with rules and regulations

Great place for dancing and mingling! It is probably the most prominent dance club in the warehouse district and always really fun. The bouncers and bartenders are always super nice, plus nice to look at. The open cages are always fun to get up in too! Just beware of handsy/drunk patrons like you would for any club.

This review is for the two people on the door at the end of the night last night… thank you so much for your help in getting a drunk straight man to leave us alone. It can be difficult to get people to listen sometimes, but y’all stepped in when we asked and we are all so grateful. Blessings upon blessings …

I love this club but there was this women that keeps moving me. I don't know what she was doing but she told me to onto block her way to the bar. I mean if you aren't bringing clean glasses then you shouldn't come and move me. Bartender can do their job just fine. That was just plain rude, learn some manners.

If you want to dance with 20-something's this is your gay bar. This place is large with multiple areas. Front bar has booths and a bit quieter. Main bar has 2 stages, 2 dance blocks, and DJ booth. Outside has two bars and two separate areas for the smokers. Line moves pretty quickly and never a cover for 21+

So, love how Arny the bartender at Rain charges me for rainwater three times when I order three drinks and he only uses one bottle. I've politely said something to him about it, and he acts like he didn't do it, but receipts don't lie boo. Do you treat all your customers like this or just the Black ones?

I had the best time at Rain until I saw my credit card statement where they literally charged me double what I actually owed. I’ve read previous comments that is commonly happens here. That’s fraud and plan on disputing this. Plenty of other great gay bars that aren’t going to steal your money.

I'm sure this is a great club and there are some really cool attractions, like the Illuminated dance floor, HOWEVER. The bass was just too intense for me and I left. I guess if you enjoy the feeling of your organs moving around in your abdominal cavity then this is the club for you.

Had a great time here with the dance floor in full force and music blaring. It has Gogo boys in the weekends. Has a back patio where smokers hang out. Easy to get a drink because they have 4 bars. Didn’t see the bartenders smile at all even the not so busy times.

dance club in the heart of Austin’s Warehouse District (gay district). The light up dance floor and a group of the city’s best DJs make this the best place to dance downtown. An Open-minded and friendly bar staff. Cocktails served just the way to want it.

Love love love rain! Never a cover and always a good time. Best music out of all the gay bars in my opinion. They actually switch the music and genres up where as the competing bars don’t. Drink prices are fair and have never had an issue with fraud.

A great club! I love taking my wife here for a good night out. Admittedly I need a few more then her before I get on the dance floor but they always have tons of bartenders. They even have a more quiet bar near the front if that is your thing.

Went to karaoke and if you wanted to sing. You had to know the DJ . As a DJ you should want new people to come and have a good time. It was the same people singing. Come on Rain ...You can do better. People were nice and bartenders were great.

Had a great dance party, and then froze my toes off, and instead of making us stand outside for our ride, the door person showed us kindness and allowed us to wait In the warmth. Appreciated the humanity Great music and drunks. …

Being turned away at 11:30P on a Sunday for “looking too intoxicated.” because I was on the phone with my AirPods in, leaning against a wall down the road while I finished my conversation. Wish y’all the best, I’ll not be back.

I was having a great time until someone on the staff decided I was “too drunk”, I slipped on a drink by accident and was kicked out for it. Also, I want to mention that the employees here are racist, won’t be coming back ever.

If you want to be treated badly... from the employees at the entrance to the hateful bartenders, this is the place!!! The Worst treatment for the LGBTQ community in all of Austin!!!

Discriminating for being LATINO. Please avoid, not worth your time. The personnel at the entrance feel like they can decide if you’re fit to go in or not based on your appearance.

Great music awesome atmosphere the light-up dance for was seriously cool met some crazy interesting people didn't drink too much but the bartenders were alright definitely worth checking out. Patio was also very cool.

I read all the reviews and was a little worried, but I went anyways because my friends wanted to meet here. They DO double charge you for drinks, like many others have said. Watch your bank statement and be careful.

Rude front door staff last Saturday night! For me, the door staff attitude is the 1st impression of an establishment and I won't lie, I wasnt impressed. There's plenty of other bars nearby that deserve my money!

This place is a blast. Three separate areas - one for dancing, one for smoking and lounging, and one that's a sort-of outdoor patio area. All areas have their own bar, and there are always great dancers too!

Been here twice now. Once for a Monday night karaoke, then a week later for Tuesday open drag show. Love it here! The bouncer was also very helpful with other suggestions in the area

The bartenders are just trying to suriver but the bouncers tend to be snarky but not in charming way. Once you get in just go with the flow.

For a club that has a light up dance floor it’d be nice if they’d lit it up. I guess I’ll just dance in the dark, it’s ok.

Dancers will rip you off and play it off. Beware. Fun place until I met them. I'm straight and it totally ruined my experience in inclusiveness I won't trust any bar again.

This club is awesome! It is ran by some amazing staff members! It’s a safe and comfortable place! Great to have fun! It is a club so expect dancing and good fast drinks!

I had a fun time until I didn't. I had my phone and wallet stolen out of my purse last night. At the end of the night, two other people had their phones stolen too.

One of the best places to dance in Austin, the vibe is great, cool umbrella ceiling, and dancers! Drinks are solid, just love coming here when it comes to dancing

Love this club! The staff are great, the music is good, and the bathrooms are really clean for a club of this size!

The vibe would be so much better except for the excessive amount of bachelorette party girls.

I love Rain! The DJ’s are awesome, great dance floor, good drinks and staff is on point. My favorite dance club❤️

Loser bouncers go on power trips and unconstitutionally confiscate pepper spray defense tool from single women.

Bobby is an amazing bartender! Vylette Ward brings the glam! What a great place for fun times and fun people <3

Bobby Cook is an amazing bartender!! Try one of those espresso martinis. They are the bomb!!
