LUXX
207 W 4th Street, Austin, TX 78701
One of the newest additions to Austin’s gay nightlife, LUXX has quickly established itself as a late-night and after-hours dance venue. The intimate club has an underground feel, with DJs and house-heavy parties stretching beyond the usual night out; major queer events including Splash Days have already adopted it for official after-hours sessions.
The address couldn't be more central to Austin’s gay scene. LUXX is at 207 W 4th Street, effectively next door to Oilcan Harry’s at 211 and Rain on 4th at 217. Expect a late-night LGBTQ+ clubbing crowd, particularly gay men and visitors looking to keep dancing after the more established bars begin winding down.
