"Roots, rock, dub, dancehall and plain ol' reggae" fill out the roster at this "laid-back" Downtown live music venue that's "perfect for partying hard without too much hassle"; "claustrophobics" head up to the "open-air" deck while the rest of the crowd takes in the "wonderful" sets of "rocking good tunes going on downstairs", but all can raise a glass to the "inexpensive" drinks.
The Flamingo attracts local and touring acts in all subgenres of reggae -- dance hall, ska, rocksteady, and dub -- as well as a range of local Latin bands and DJs. Lounge around one of several bars and open-air decks when you're not sitting on the comfy carpeted bleachers listening to the performers.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors:
Seemingly grass hut on the Drag is the undisputed Austin embassy of Caribbean sounds that occasionally plays rock and roll.
