About 419 E 6th St
419 East 6th Street is Voodoo Room – a multi-level downtown Austin nightclub and bar nestled in the Lower 6th Street entertainment district. It spans three floors, each with its own fully stocked bar and dance floor (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.voodooroomatx.com ). The club bills itself as a “premier bottle service lounge and club,” featuring cozy VIP nooks with couches and bottle-service sections scattered around (www.sixthstreetcomplete.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Signature design touches make the space stand out: geometric icosahedral light fixtures hang from the ceilings, and a giant neon American flag decorates one wall (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.sixthstreetcomplete.com ). Even swings are suspended from the roof above! According to local sources, Voodoo Room (and its upstairs sister bar, the Majestic) were once a single venue before a mid-2010s split (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.sixthstreetcomplete.com ). Today the Voodoo Room is known for its upscale, modern vibe. It’s described as “the ultimate destination for elegant clubbing” – a sleek, downtown Austin hotspot with fast and friendly bartenders (www.voodooroomatx.com ) (www.soundvibemag.com ).
The venue is unusually large for a Sixth Street bar. Industry sources estimate total capacity in the “hundreds to low thousands” – on a very busy night roughly 400–500 people spread across all floors (www.ticketfairy.com ). Sound-wise, the club boasts top-tier audio and LED lighting systems (www.mapquest.com ) (www.voodooroomatx.com ), creating a high-energy sensory experience. Visitors note that the music (hip-hop, Latin, EDM, etc.) can get very loud – earplugs may be wise for sensitive ears (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). The décor and crowd combine to create what one nightlife magazine calls an “Austin nightlife staple” (www.soundvibemag.com ) – a hub where local trends collide with a flashy, party-atmosphere.
Events and Programming
Voodoo Room’s event calendar is packed with club nights and dance music events. The venue is open Thursday and Friday evenings and all afternoon/evening on weekends (Austin Chronicle lists hours as Thu–Fri 7pm–2am, Sat–Sun 2pm–2am (calendar.austinchronicle.com )). Typical programming includes rotating DJ lineups, themed parties, and occasional live performances. Regular weekly series like “Wobble Wednesday” have been popular – for example, the club hosted weekly EDM/bass nights in summer 2021 and again in 2023 with guests like Dieselboy on the decks (calendar.austinchronicle.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Daytime festival-style events also pop up; for instance, a “Wondaland in the Day” party (affiliated with Janelle Monáe’s Wondaland label) took place in March 2023 (calendar.austinchronicle.com ).
Voodoo Room caters to a broad mix of genres. Along with hip-hop and R&B acts, DJs spin EDM, Latin tracks, reggaeton, and Top 40 at different nights. For example, Atlanta rapper Yung Joc headlined a Saturday night show in April 2023 (calendar.austinchronicle.com ), and the venue hosted the Beats x Beers Festival’s 10th-anniversary showcase (a local hip-hop/electronic music festival) in March 2025 (calendar.austinchronicle.com ). In practice, many trains are underground “guest-list” parties: promoters and the club’s social media run sign-ups for free or reduced admission (especially early/slow nights), and cover charges kick in as evenings get late. According to event listings, slower weeknights may even be free or $5 before 10pm, while weekends and special events see cover fees in the ~$10–$20 range (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). In short, events are frequent and varied – from free/cheap entry midweek with local DJs to bigger draws on weekends that charge a cover. Ticket prices vary, but as one guide notes, covers “often rise to $10–$20” on busy nights (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Tickets and Booking
There is no traditional ticket window or advance online box office for Voodoo Room. Instead, entry is handled at the door. For most shows you either sign up on the guest list or pay the cover charge when you arrive (www.ticketfairy.com ). If an event has a guest-list promo (often posted on the club’s social media, via promoters, or official event pages), signing up early can score free or discounted entry. Otherwise the safest approach is to arrive early or on time and pay the door price. Ticket Fairy advises: “use guest lists or arrive early for general admission, and book online for VIP tables” (www.ticketfairy.com ). In practice, arriving before 10pm can often nab free entry; after that, expect to pay around $10–$20 depending on the lineup and night of week (www.ticketfairy.com ).
For guaranteed access and seating, the venue offers VIP reservations. You can reserve a table or “bottle service” booth in advance via the club’s website or a promoter’s reservation link. This covers your entry fee and guarantees a space with some seats. The official site mentions taking reservations up to a week ahead for groups up to ten. If planing a larger celebration, booking a VIP section is recommended to ensure entry. Covering for these reservations is typically several hundred dollars for a party package (www.ticketfairy.com ). In summary: to visit 419 E 6th St, you either get on the guest list / RSVP via social media, arrive and pay cover at the door, or book a VIP table in advance if you want a guaranteed spot (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Seating and Layout
419 E 6th St has no fixed seating for regular patrons. The space is essentially a general-admission nightclub across three levels. Each floor is open to dancing around its bar. In fact, the club’s own copy urges guests to “enjoy the multiple dance floors, and focus on dancing and socializing rather than hunting for seats” (www.ticketfairy.com ). The only “seats” are in the VIP lounges – small couch areas reserved for bottle-service groups. Percher tables or bar stools might exist, but most visitors stand by the dance floors. Your best viewing spots depend on your style: up front on the main floor is best for being close to the DJ and action, while the second and third floors offer an overlook of the party below (each has its own DJ booth and sound system as needed). All floors have a full bar (www.voodooroomatx.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ), so you can easily get drinks without moving floors. Note that because the music is loud and physical, bring comfortable shoes if you plan to dance.
Acoustics are club-style: powerful bass and loud speakers on each level. Many patrons recommend ear protection if you’re sensitive to high volume (www.ticketfairy.com ). There are LED video screens and strobes on stage areas, creating a modern rave-like atmosphere (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). If seated viewing is important, the VIP couches are your only guaranteed seats – but they usually fill up quickly on busy nights. The rest is standing-room dance floor.
Getting There and Parking
419 E 6th St is on Lower East Sixth Street, just east of Brazos Street in Downtown Austin (www.ticketfairy.com ). In local terms, it sits in the “Dirty Sixth” bar district. The exact address is 419 E. Sixth Street (near the corner of 6th & Brazos) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Sixth Street in this area is one-way eastbound toward I-35, so if driving in from downtown you’ll likely take Congress Avenue east one block, then turn left on 6th, then left on Brazos to reach the venue.
Parking: Street parking is very limited after afternoon, so most visitors use garages or lots. Nearby public garages include the Brazos Plaza garage (200 Brazos) and especially the Convention Center’s 5th Street Garage (on Congress & 5th). Parkopedia notes the 5th Street Garage has 685 spaces and charges about $8 for 2 hours (en.parkopedia.com ), roughly a 5-minute walk south. Another option is a small pay lot on East 6th, the “6th Street Lot” on Brazos, which is about 3 minutes away and has modest rates (~$10 for 2h) (en.parkopedia.com ). There are some smaller paid lots and parking apps as well (ParkWhiz covers the area). If you park on the street, be mindful of meters (street parking in downtown often meters or time-limited, and many enforce at night).
Public Transit: CapMetro operates several bus routes nearby. The #4 (Mopac/Riverside) and #503 crosstown routes have stops on Congress near 6th, and you can transfer downtown to streets close by. The MetroRail Red Line’s Downtown Station (at 4th & Guadalupe) is about a half-mile west (about a 10-minute walk). You would walk from 4th Street down Rio Grande or Lavaca to 6th, then over to Brazos, to reach Voodoo. AustinCM is dev-friendly – use the capmetro.org trip planner or the CapMetro app to find the best route from your neighborhood.
Rideshare/Taxi: Rideshare is popular when going out late. Voodoo Room doesn’t have a dedicated dropoff lane, but the easiest drop-off is on Brazos Street north of 6th, or on 5th Street just west of Congress (which is one-way westbound). Many drivers will drop you off on Brazos right in front. After 2:00 AM you’ll want to catch a ride – Austin enforces a 2AM live-music curfew (www.ticketfairy.com ). The guidelines recommend planning your ride in advance, as buses and shuttles stop running at 2AM (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Inside the Venue
Entry and Security: On busy nights Voodoo Room enforces a strict 21+ policy and carries out ID checks at the door (www.ticketfairy.com ). Have a valid government photo ID ready (driver’s license is standard). You may be frisked or given a quick pat-down by security. The club occasionally offers coat checks for a small fee – this can save you lugging extra layers in summer or bulky items (www.ticketfairy.com ). Flashlights and cameras beyond phone cameras are discouraged, so leave large camera bags at home.
Bars and Service: There are bartenders and bottle-service staff on every floor (www.ticketfairy.com ). You’ll find fully stocked bars serving draft and bottled beer, liquors, and cocktails on each level (www.voodooroomatx.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Service is generally friendly and fairly quick, especially in VIP sections. No food is sold here – the club does not have a kitchen – so plan to eat before or at neighborhood restaurants (www.ticketfairy.com ). Keep cash handy for tipping bartenders and paying cover. Credit/debit cards are accepted for drinks, but carrying some cash is often more convenient for cover charges or cover fees (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Atmosphere: Voodoo Room is a dark, high-energy nightclub. Expect pounding bass, strobe and LED lighting, and slow-moving video backdrops on stage (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). The space is “spacious and modern,” with crowds dancing on all three levels from open to close (www.ticketfairy.com ). The main floor’s dance area usually holds the biggest crowd, while the upper floors offer views down onto the action below. DJs often interact with the crowd across levels. Photography with phone cameras (no flash) is allowed by most DJs (www.ticketfairy.com ), but professional video/DSL cameras or audio recorders are not permitted. The music can be very loud – many patrons recommend earplugs for sensitive ears (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Facilities: You’ll find restrooms on each level (typically one set per floor), and they are generally kept clean (www.ticketfairy.com ). Coat-check (if offered) is usually near the entrance. There is no full kitchen or food court – again, make dinner plans elsewhere before or after. The venue has Wi-Fi only for staff/operations (guests typically rely on cell service, which can be spotty in crowded clubs). Keep an eye on your belongings, as in any busy nightclub. Overall, Voodoo’s inside experience is that of a typical upscale urban club: loud music, flashing lights, and a lively, party-focused atmosphere (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).

What Makes This Venue Special
Several features set 419 E 6th St (Voodoo Room) apart from other Austin clubs. Architecturally, it combines historic Sixth Street charm with flashy modern decor. The building’s late-19th-century facade blends into the Sixth Street historic district (urbanlab.nyu.edu ), while inside the space is ultra-modern – with disco-style lighting, LED screens, and unique touches. Few clubs in Austin have the kind of attention-grabbing decor Voodoo does: the geometric icosahedron lights overhead and neon art on the walls create an immersive visual vibe (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.sixthstreetcomplete.com ). Even the playful swings hanging from the ceiling (over the dance floor!) contribute to the one-of-a-kind feel (www.sixthstreetcomplete.com ).
Culturally, Voodoo Room has carved out its own niche. It bills itself as a “premier bottle-service lounge,” which makes it a go-to spot for celebratory outings and bachelor/bachelorette parties. At the same time, its eclectic music mix keeps it true to Austin’s “Live Music Capital” roots. A local magazine notes that Voodoo’s blend of hip-hop, EDM and Latin beats keeps its crowds dancing, making it a “nightlife staple” (www.soundvibemag.com ). In other words, both international DJs and local crews love performing here, and diverse audiences come out. Major events like the Beats x Beers festival anniversary show and artists like Yung Joc have appeared at this relatively small venue, highlighting its reputation as a fun, inclusive party hub (calendar.austinchronicle.com ) (calendar.austinchronicle.com ).
From an Austin tradition standpoint, 419 E 6th St is part of the famous Sixth Street scene. The entire block is one of the few remaining areas of downtown with the classic Victorian-era bar buildings preserved (urbanlab.nyu.edu ). Visitors often comment that Voodoo Room captures the spirit of “Dirty Sixth” – wild nightlife old and new. Its existence supports Austin’s downtown economy and culture, as analysts point out that 6th Street is a major economic driver through tourism and entertainment (urbanlab.nyu.edu ). So while Voodoo Room itself is a recent addition (opening in the 2010s), it contributes to a historic legacy: it sits amidst century-old bars and events that keep Austin’s party tradition alive.
Finally, the love from locals underscores its special status. Regulars praise it for having multiple floors (so the dance floor never feels too cramped) and a mix of music that keeps something for everyone. The VIP areas with comfy couches also give it a premium feel. In sum, Voodoo Room matters to Austin’s scene because it combines upscale bottle-service luxury with true clubbing energy – something that few other Austin venues do as well (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.soundvibemag.com ). Artists enjoy the built-in party crowd and tech, and audiences enjoy a well-organized, fun night out. These elements – architecture, music, nightlife atmosphere, and community role – all make 419 E 6th St unique in Austin.

What is the best way to get tickets or join the guest list for Voodoo Room?
Voodoo Room generally does not sell advance tickets. Entry is handled at the door via cover charge or guest lists. Many events have online guest-list signups (via the club’s social pages or promoters); signing up often grants free or discounted entry (www.ticketfairy.com ). Otherwise, you simply arrive on the night of the event and pay the cover charge at the door. There is no traditional box office. VIP booths can be reserved online in advance if you want guaranteed entry and seating (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What are the cover charges and drink prices at Voodoo Room?
Cover charges vary. On slower weeknights, entry may be free or just a few dollars if you arrive early. Popular weekend events and special shows can have higher cover fees, often in the $10–$20 range (www.ticketfairy.com ). Many events offer guest lists that waive cover (especially before 10PM). Once inside, drink prices are in line with other downtown clubs. Expect roughly $8–$12 for cocktails or long drinks (beer is a bit cheaper) – the staff notes drink pricing is comparable to other Austin clubs (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Where can I park when visiting 419 E 6th St?
Parking in downtown is tight. Paid lots and garages are your best bet. Nearby options include the Convention Center’s 5th Street Garage (around $8 for 2 hours) and several private lots. Parkopedia lists a “6th Street Lot” on Brazos (a few minutes’ walk, ~$10 for 2h) and the 5th St Convention Center Garage ($8/2h) (en.parkopedia.com ). Metered street parking is very limited at night. Ridesharing drop-offs are common – drivers often let you out on Brazos St near E. 6th.
What are the nearest public transit stops?
Several CapMetro bus lines run in the area. The MetroRail Red Line’s Downtown Station (4th & Guadalupe) is about a half-mile west (about a 10-minute walk) of Voodoo Room. Bus routes like #4, #10, and #803 serve nearby streets (Congress and 5th/6th Streets). Use the CapMetro trip planner or app to find the closest stop to your location. Note that service hours end around 2AM, so plan accordingly for late nights (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What kind of seating and viewing options are at Voodoo Room?
Voodoo Room is mostly general admission. There is no reserved seating on the dance floor – it’s standing-room all around. Each of the three floors has its own dance floor and bar (www.voodooroomatx.com ). The only semi-seated areas are the VIP booth lounges (with couches) reserved for bottle-service groups (www.sixthstreetcomplete.com ). If you want a good view of the DJs and dancers, the front portion of the main floor is your best bet, or you can step up to the balcony levels for an overlook. In short, arrive early and grab space on the floor or lounge; it’s not a seated theater layout (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Is the venue ADA accessible?
Yes, Voodoo Room is wheelchair-accessible by law. There is an elevator that serves all levels, and at least one bar is reachable on each floor via the elevator (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Restrooms are available on each floor as well. If you have specific mobility needs, it’s best to call the venue ahead of time to confirm any accommodations, but generally patrons have noted it meets basic ADA requirements (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What is the capacity of Voodoo Room?
Voodoo Room is relatively large for a Sixth Street club. Industry estimates put its total capacity in the hundreds to low thousands. In practical terms, expect roughly 400–500 people on a busy night spread over all three floors (www.ticketfairy.com ). Soundvibe magazine categorizes it as a “500-2k” size venue, meaning it’s typically under 2000 total. In short, it can fill up on big nights, but you won’t see line of 5,000 like at a concert hall.
Are outside drinks or food allowed inside?
No. Outside food and beverages are not permitted in Voodoo Room (www.ticketfairy.com ). The club does not have kitchen service, so they only sell drinks from their bars. Plan to eat elsewhere before you go (or at nearby restaurants outside) and bring only small personal items or a wallet inside.
What is the dress code at 419 E 6th St?
Dress in casual clubwear. Men typically wear nice jeans or pants and a clean shirt; women often wear dresses or trendier outfits. Athletic shorts, tank tops, or sports jerseys are discouraged (especially on weekend nights) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Closed-toe shoes are strongly advised – flip-flops or sandals may be turned away. In short, dress to go out on the town rather than to the gym (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Is photography or recording allowed?
Phone photography is generally allowed (without flash) so you can snap casual photos of the party. However, professional cameras, video cameras on tripods, or audio recording devices are typically not permitted on the dance floor (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you bring a DSLR or GoPro, you will likely be stopped by security. Smartphones for snapshots and social media pics are usually fine as long as they don’t have a flash on in the middle of a set.
Can I smoke inside the venue?
No. Austin’s smoke-free laws apply indoors. Smoking is not allowed inside the club. If you need to smoke, you must step outside. (There is no indoor smoking section.) Most nightlife spots on Sixth Street do not permit indoor smoking.
Can I check a coat or bag at Voodoo Room?
A coat check may be offered at peak times. If coat check is available, you can drop off jackets or larger bags for a small fee (www.ticketfairy.com ). If not, it’s best to bring only a small clutch or wallet-size bag inside (large backpacks are generally not allowed). Always ask the doorman at the door – they will have the current policy on coat/bag check for that night.
Are minors (under 21) allowed if it’s not busy?
No. Voodoo Room enforces an 21+ age policy every night because it is a bar/nightclub. Unlike some mixed-age concerts, this venue strictly requires patrons to be 21 or older. If you are under 21, you cannot enter even if the event isn’t sold out. They check IDs at the door consistently (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What is the capacity of the venue on busy nights?
On a very busy night when all three levels are full, the club can hold roughly 400–500 people at a time (www.ticketfairy.com ). In practice the club is considered large for Sixth Street, but it’s not a giant arena. It feels full well before 500, so if it’s a popular event, don’t expect to squeeze many more people in beyond that range.
