Lit Lounge

Decent place, loud bass driven music, overpriced drinks, although with heavy pours. It is very cramped and tiny much like everything else on 6^th, this place also has a small up stairs bar that is less packed Smells musty but all in all not a bad spot to go and enjoy some drinks.

I can say this bar was not too smoky. I stopped in to go potty and walked by the band at the front door, a girl dancing like she had way too much and thought the band was the best thing since sliced bread. The place was loud and dark and the bathroom was covered in graffiti. The first stall was questionable and the second one had god knows what on the stall walls. The soap dispensers were broken and the paper towels needed refilling in one of the stations.
To be fair to the establishment, i am not a bar person.

I came in here during the ROT ralley and they had an awesome sounding LIVE MUSIC rock band playing. We ordered a beer and a diet coke for me as a triple D… (on a Diet and a Designated Driver) and we had a great time.
as I listend more the band was singing in Spanish. what? then I heard that magic word… Mana. what? they know Mana?
I walked over and wrote the band’s name on my Note 4 notepad and put some money in the tip jar and sure enough they rocked it out.
I found out the band’s name was the Palacios Brothers. I hope they come back!

While there on vacation, stopped in for a quick drink during the Pecan Festival. Left my card. I wasn’t able to go back and get it, so the owner mailed it to me! So appreciated. And bonus– they let dogs into the bar! :)

I am always treated so well here! I do not drink much, but staff here do not act as if that is an issue. I can honestly say the workers make the place on this one and they are all really wonderful people. I recommend this as a good club hangout and will head there when I can

There’s nothing wrong with the venue or the service or the drinks, it was the false advertisement that irked me about this place. So here’s the story…
I’m strolling down 6^th street trying to decide which bar I should check out next when I suddenly hear «$ 3 wells!» and immediately I stopped walking, looked back, walked back, confirmed the deal with the bouncer, then decided ‘oh what the hell, it’s cheap so why not’.
My bf orders us a «gin and tonic» and «cran-vodka“and guess how much the total was? That’s right, NOT $ 6.it was $ 11 — almost twice of what it should be. I approached the bartender and he said the deal ended at 11, then I spoke to the bouncer who said that was wrong and that I should talk to the manager. So I confronted the manager who told me to speak to the owner at the bar and he’ll get me a drink on the house. I walked up to the owner who was really nice, but told me that there was a $ 3.50 tax per drink (UHH WHAT). Did I hear wrong? Is this true?! Cause if so, I’m moving to Canada. Anyways, if that was the case the math wouldn’t add up.$ 3+3.50 = $ 7×2 = $ 14. Yeah $ 11 is not a lot for 2 drinks, but false advertising is NOT okay and telling me all these lies isn’t either.

Always treated like a princess here. Tony is the best. Favorite bar on sixth street by far. :-)

Lit lounge has driven me to write my first Unilocal review! That’s where the praise ends.
Go here if you like any of the following:
— listening to a band whose sound gets mangled by an absolutely apathetic, drunk soundman who seems to have no desire or interest in doing his job.
— watching a tough guy owner cut a band off during their last song at an OFFICIAL sxsw showcase.
— watching tough guy owner physically ASSAULT a member of a band for voicing his opinion on previously mentioned cut off.
— expensive, watered down drinks.
— hostile doormen.
— cramped, dirty bar with beer drenched floors and filthy restrooms.
Sxsw should be ashamed for allowing this venue to be associated with the sxsw brand.
Lit lounge is not a place for live music, not a place for a good drink, and not a place to go for a clean, comfortable night out with friends. So my question is: why does the lit lounge exist in the first place?
Avoid, avoid, avoid!

This is probably one of my favorite bars on 6^th street! It’s new, looks awesome, and the drink specials are pretty cool too. I really like coming here.
Come check out the friendly bartenders, the super nice owner, and the great music that the DJ plays!

This place is awesome! It’s new and really nice inside. Everyone who works there is really friendly. They have the best drink specials and last time I went for my friend’s bday they even gave us a free bottle of champagne! They have ViP booths that are perfect for throwing parties. I can’t wait to be back! The DJs they have there are always really good too.
