Reviews of RIO (Night Club)

Core Infusion™

Awesome Ambience!! Had a great time. I would love to host a party there!

Antwone Hill

Nice laid back club also has three levels of fun...a different dj on each floor...cant beat that with a bat with a no cover charge...

Dionne Daggett

Had a great time here on Sun. DJ played a decent variety of music but it was mostly Latin music at first.

Rob S

Fun, was at a private after party and it was roomy with ample seating to sit down for a bit and have a drink or even smoke.

tarranrte king

It was aiight...good music

Tako Vermeulen

It wasn't very interesting when I was there, but it was a Thursday. Maybe other evening are more fun.

Jacob Sherwood

It has a really cool rooftop!

V B

The staff (including the bouncer!) were super friendly, but the drinks were over priced. The pool was an interesting twist to be honest.

siddhartha parepally

Worst service and not good flavors on raining strrst

Jonathan Choi

Its a cool place with nice bar but nobody was dancing

Joey Franklin

Very cool place to go. Nice relaxing atmosphere.

Vani

Came here on a Friday night bc it was a hookah, alcohol and, rooftop spot. Around 12 the rooftop was pretty empty...very surprising. Music was awesome! The bartenders were very friendly, attentive, and courteous. Hookah seems to be by a third party company but still ok. They didn't come to turn the coals or give you the tongs but did come to ask if you wanted to buy more. Super gross- a huge roach was making its way around the perimeter and around the couches...not a fan. Everyone would scream every time it came around. The second floor seemed to be more happening and much more packed.

Ray Rodriquez

Friendly bar staff

Peter Stangl

Very expensive, not worth the $.

Arbor Adams

Not as exciting as I would have liked. Too young for my taste. Music was o.k., but I never heard an entire song playing. Two thumbs down.

Michael Dozier

Nice place but the blonde bartender last Sunday forgot to take her bi-polar pills(it was amusing). She made the wrong drink and we told her nicely that it wasn't what we ordered. She got attitude and out of nowhere shook my hand for the camera. Then made a new one, took the money and kicked us out.

Jose Torres

With a rooftop pool and a spacious third floor, Rio excels at Sunday funday parties. At night, the pool looses al functionality and takes up space. Last Saturday night, Rio played up-beat, popular music and did not get over crowded. It's also nice to people-watch down on to sixth street. The restrooms were well maintained.

Julian Mendoza

Always a great time at Rio!

Jalisa Long

Come on Fridays to dance all night to DJ Hella Yella my go to spot away from dirty 6th

Peter Tran

Got charged $50 to go to the roof and look at a crappy projection of Tiesto playing inside. Worst....experience..... ever.

Shadow Man

Safe environment bc of big chris

Terron Phillips

Best pool in the city

Erin Endres

If you want to be robbed by a bar, go here. If you don’t, I’d stay away. Was told something would be $40 and then when my friend received her bill it was $340! She was accused of being drunk and not hearing the initial price (she was sober by the way). She had to NEGOTIATE the price down to $140 but it’s still completely ridiculous to have your employees lie about the price of something then talk to you like an idiot when you confront them about it. Oh and regardless of that, the bar is a cheesy wanna be Vegas Pool Club. Keep trying.

Void Giggles

Great service, great music, and great drinks.

Mohammed Ali

Great place, but drinks are way too over priced.

Eric Luke

fun spot, gorgeous people

AGA Conda

Nice club. Has separated stories and a rooftop. A mixed race club, drink is kinda pricey.

MARZO

Fun bar

T

The DJ is one of the worst I've ever seen. Anyone could do better than the spastic cuts between songs. They want to be a 1Oak or Hakkasan type Vegas/Miami club and they charge those prices...problem is you'll be horribly disappointed. The bottle service girls are homely at best. If you're a UT frat/sorority idiot with your dad's Amex...go to Concrete Cowboy instead. It way more fun

Vishal Jain

This place has a great dance floor, the music is good and the bartenders are really nice people. Drinks are on a little expensive side but once in a while is ok.

Zak Laughton

This is a beautiful club with great bartenders. Awesome service and a great view of the city.

Anne Cromwell

Great place to go and fun too

Shannon Masterson

Pleasantly swanky. The main floor is a great space, nice and cool with leather couches....but it's the pool that really makes it. Rooftop pool, private cabanas--makes for a great view of the city while day drinking and beautiful people-watching. Not a bad way to cool off in our toasty city.

Chris Brown-Smith

Good drinks

Christiane Painter

Great place to have fun awesome staff

Stormy Suberbielle

A place where dreams come true

Hector Estrada

The third floor has a pool. Perfect for Sunday Fundaaaayyy

Karen Anesthesia

This place is amazing. Haven't seen a bar this nice in a very long time however one of the staff members what kind of rude so I have to leave them for stars instead of 5. Overall though great experience, great Club.

Daniel Phagans

Great vibe and scene

meg aha

Great hip hop and service

K Hevarty

Always have an absolute blast at RIO. It's nice to have a place in Austin with an upscale crowd and great dance music. Day parties on the weekend are a favorite as well.

Trey Stross

Strange place over priced drinks

Monica Peña

This place is amazing for events. The top floor with the pool area is nice, plus the indoor space on the second floor. Bartenders gave great service.

Naman Rungta

Dance floor is big enough but the bass in music was too low.

Jasmine Simon

Good Music but the drinks are TERRIBLE!!!! I didn't think it was possible to mess up a gin and tonic but they some how managed to do it. The bartenders then ignored my friend and I when we tried to get their attention and I am pretty sure the bar back told them not to serve us after we told him we had been waiting and skipped over for 30 minutes and asked him to politely catch the bartenders attention.

Karen Gamez

Fun, cant wait to go again.

Griselle Reyna

Nice place!

andy graham

Kind of lame. Not Austin style.

Alex Adekola

Lame af... Dead during SXSW, dirty glasses bad service dented beer cans.

Billy Amen

I was the DJ there. And the experience was welcoming and very vibrant. Kind of stuffy in there but that's just because it was standing room only haha

Andray Davis

Good crowd. Drinks were better than decent. Had a great time and DJ was cool. Multiple levels.

ANGIE OJEDA

Great music, fun atmosphere, and great staff!

Amanda Mittnacht

Interesting bar. Foam in the outside pool, outdoor bar. Typically have a DJ. Not my favorite spot in Austin, but worth a stop for a drink!

Tammie Norris

Great atmosphere and music.

james gillum

Swimming pools, movie stars.

Silvio Lombardi

Good environment but the management is a little to picky with dress code and why do I have to have a section to get a bottle of champagne

Tanmay Singh

It's okay

calvin waites

Fun atomsphere .

johntae sk

Okay, this bar/club stood out due to the manager the night that myself, my wife, and guests visited. He made sure that we received complimentary bottle service. His attention to detail along with the cocktail girls made that night worth being cold on the rooftop. I would, I will be visiting and entertain my guests there again.

Betty Zurawiak

Great

Austin Dodson

If you enjoy wearing a suit and tie everyday and want to be around others who do as well, you'll probably be right at home here. The staff was welcoming and did a great job.

Cyrus Baty

Young professionals take note...this is a happening summer swim/party club...looking for your dream girl? There were dozens here...guys too...excellent bar, tropical setting, electronic dance dj...great party atmosphere...we were here for a special event...on this hot day, not too many middle aged or younger than college grad. They have a great crowd with awesome DJ's that always have people dancing. Bottle service is the way to go. The rooftop pool and views of the downtown skyline are awesome.

Jose Romero

The place looks dated and dirty, furniture is trashed, the service was nice and the music was ok.

Levi Mogford

Amazing staff and amazing environment, and so many connections to be made

Spurgenia Johnson

Great spot if DJ HELLA YELLA IS WORKING

Shareeda Cooley

Great pool and rooftop section

Elise Delgado

They lost my card and charged my friend $150. If you go here, do not open a tab! And when you ask about the over charges, they have a huge attitude.

Jay Jayasuriya

Love the rooftop.

George The Boss

I love this club

Michael O.

Great view, great set up. Would perform there again.

Briton Varick

Douchbag level 10

Big T The Trucker

I am always down with the OPP while I'm downtown at the RIO... #BANGO #JSTDID #Fa-Nam #Trump

J Roc

Club cool AF but the hookah is weak AF and over price.....

austin sprinkle

Nice pool

Steven Fulbright

Very popular spot. Drinks are expensive; went here this last weekend on Saturday night and a vodka sprite was $8. Music's really loud, so it can be difficult to carry on a conversation, especially with multiple people, but by the same token, it's a great place for club dancing. Decent amount of room, bathrooms are (relatively) clean. All in all, good place if you're more interested in dancing than conversing.

Katie Gnash

This place is chill but cool. Im 31 and clubs i have kinda outgrown but this one i can still enjoy

Earl Harris

Had a good time

J Bivins

This is one of the Cyrus place I have been to they need a new manager nothing was right the day I went not the drinks definitely not the chicken this is the first one I went to you need to smell the chicken cooking

Nana Ankamah

Good times!

Santosh Reddy

Roof top is the best if the weather is good. DJ vary each night so you can expect a little variation. You can see more college crowd in here. Drinks are bit overpriced but its downtown so cant really complain.Overall a good place to hangout with friends

Jade Briant

Great place to go and have fun!

ramon cabello

Awesome!!!

Johna E

I live in Houston and visited Austin for the 1St time my birthday weeked and we went to Rio Saturday night. I had a blast. The whole environment was my scene, music, pool, rooftop, hookah, great people and vibe. The bouncer with the locks and white streaks in it was so awesome and Jason our hookah server was the best and on point. When I come back I will be back at the Rio maybe during the day next time. Even the Manager was great. I had a drink issue and he fixed immediately. You guys rock! Thank you for making my night amazing.

pill clinton

Good environment but the management is a little to picky with dress code and why do I have to have a section to get a bottle of champagne

Ambika Rautray

This place is great! The music is catchy and the bartenders are nice and approachable. I guess the only thing is that drinks are very expensive, but note that they do not charge cover at times. Also, I thought I lost my ID there and called them, but I never received a reply which kind of sucked. But overall, I definitely recommend it!

Ariana Rojas

First time going and it was good. Our hookah server was very good, making sure we had enough coals for our hookah.

Tamisha Smith

Of course I loved it!

Danielle Moore

Im currently at Rio. Im having a hreat time. The music is great. The bartenders are kind and amazing. Thank you for a great night

Ashish Katiyar

Fun music

AT TA

Service is nonexistent. Avoid. Drinks are terrible.

Sam Norton

Rick and Morty viewing party was off the charts! Love the environment, atmosphere , workers, and the people!

Lakeisha Spence

Great people

Ryan Bares

Roof top pool in downtown Austin. They have cabanas you can rent for private bottle service. Food was alright, nothing special.

Vanessa Wilson

Justin Bieber all night long.

alicia collins

If I'm spending the kinda of money I spent for VIP other guests shouldn't be able to sit on the back of the couches and spill drinks.

Joy Kildegaard

Too many drunk and bothersome people. Staff is fine.

meg Hoyte

Drinks are over priced

Jeremiah Engels Ramsey

Good hors d'oeuvres, great location on 6th, and spacious deck upstairs with great views. Men's room could have been cleaner.

inocente molina

Nice place i like there pool.

Mark Harbin

Takes 30 minutes to get a drink with 3 bartenders working and 4 people waiting. Good music, but this is the worst spot on W. 6th.

Fitsum Negussie

the place looks nice but drink is $$$

Veronica

Nice bar with a cool atmosphere and the staff were very nice

Latasha Jones

Nice 3rd floor over looking 6th but inside on the 2nd floor is usually hot.

Taylor Crayton

A great venue but it felt a little more catered to the older crowd (35+). That being said I still had a good time. The drinks and DJ we're good.

Jeff Monteleone

Always fun when I come here.

Eva La Rue

Chill little spot.

Claudia Almanza

Over all atmosphere is fantastic. Makes you feel like you are in Vegas but with the feel of being classy. 3rd floor has a swimming pool so bring your floaties and keep the champagne flowing!! :)

kapil garg

Bollywood party!!

Queen Austin

Lit on Fridays

Alicia A

This place is ok... it can get a little rough (ghetto) on certain days. Be ready to pay a little more here on drinks as well.

Shanna Wille

If I could give 0 stars I would. Not a great atmosphere and they tried to rip us off told us wewere just drunk.

Nigel Gandy

Trendy, roof top pool, nice views

Camila Shahan

Trying to be a Miami club with Miami prices in the middle of west 6th street Austin. Except they are absolutely not a Miami club. Not even close.

Lavonte Rollins

Great place, great people

Josh Piper

The pool

Alexander Roque

Hookah on the weekends, nice atmosphere with a nice vibe. Definitely recommend if you aren't worried about prices

Arthur Ugwu

Irma Christoffel

Noisy, noisy, noisy.

Robin Dugan

Worst experience. My friend got her foot stuck on the floor and the floor is ridiculously uneven and so many ppl were falling because of it.

Kyle Grace

I can understand if this place is to other's liking but not mine. Super expensive drinks, snooty crowd, no place to sit and their waitresses are not the brightest. Passing on this bar.

Jaime Jordan

Place used to be better.

robert thompson

Had a great time as part of sxsw

Jennifer Daniels

Not enough staff , restrooms are disgusting.
