The Highball: Reviews & Ratings
The Highball - Perfect Venue for Live Events It's been a while since I last visited The Highball, and I forgot how convenient it is for special events like Mortified ATX. Easy in/out, plenty of parking, and the bar is right by the entrance--great for grabbing a stiff drink before the show. Quick and friendly service from the door attendant to the bartenders. The intimate setting makes for a fantastic live event experience. Highly recommended venue!
I love the Highball. Convenient location at the Alamo on South Lamar. Garage parking available. The vibe is very chill. They have excellent bar food and well made cocktails.
I love this lounge attached to Alamo! Old school, swanky, jazz club vibes. Super retro, Nice place to chill out while waiting for a movie to start. Friendly staff and pretty good drinks too.
10/10 recommend for private karaoke rooms. Nice and decently spacious rooms with water, temperature control, great mics (without too much echo), and a few screens and the ability to control the volume level. Service was great and drinks were affordable and quick and pretty good! The selection of music is what wow'd me. They had so many options including: Japanese, Indian, Spanish music with a decent selection of each. I didn't look into the other categories but there was a ton of different languages as well. Not too pricey either, would definitely come back if I'm in the area!
This is a nice bar to chill in before you're grabbing a moving at the Alamo next door. The liquor is good quality, and I've had an easy time getting service at the bar. They have live music at times. I enjoyed the group playing the last time in popped in. The only thing I will warn you is that this isn't a cheap bar. My good quality drinks ran $15 each.
Drag Queen Game Show nights are on Tuesdays! Very engaging and entertaining. Had a blast watching the audience participation in the Price is Right and Bingo! Drinks were great! They don't serve food but at this visit they allowed Door Dash delivery from nearby restaurants (I'd recommend Mandala Kitchen's delicious truffle oil edamame!). Bring cash so you can tip your performers!
