Maggie Mae’s

Cool little bar on dirty 6^th! It has a nice rooftop patio. The drinks weren’t the best. I didn’t expect too much for a bar on 6^th but they could of been a little stronger. Overall though it’s a really cool place to check out.

Huge bar — multiple levels. Great live music and comfortable high end chairs. Actually a pretty top end joint but filled to the brim with all types. The live music was really exceptional and it was a Monday night!

Don’t go in here unless you wan’t to be harassed by a group of hoodrats.
Walked in here with about 10 people for my birthday. I had been given a nice seasonal Christmas beer with a big picture of Santa on it. Upon walking in i presented it to the doorguy and he said it was cool unopened. I had to explain this to like 4 other guys while in the bar until the one weasel just came up and grabbed it out of my GF’s purse. I was livid to say the least but the entire pack of monkeys couldn’t get it through their thick skull it was unopened and legal. They just started moving away with the beer. They almost got more than they asked for. The door guy later bald faced lie to the other bouncers that he let me in with it and I was kicked out. I brought an entire group of paying customers into their shithole bro bar.

Passing through town, so many options but this is the place. Great staff/​Chill & enjoy

Came here on Halloween around 8PM and spent the entire night on the rooftop. At the time, the crowd was largely slightly older — mid to late thirties and above and the costumes were pretty tame. As the night wore on, however, the venue got packed and there were tons of young people in fun costumes. Drink prices were decent and the bartenders were fast and friendly so that there was never a long wait.
It has a good dance floor with great music for dancing.
The bouncers did a good job with crowd control too because the bar was never too packed and it was comfortable all night until I left around 2AM. LA needs to take notes.

Horrible service from female bartenders. They do not like to help female guests. Rude staff.

Last night I showed up wanting to have a good time as usual because this place plays good music. When I got to the door to show the bouncer my drivers license, he instantly said he needed to see another form of identification. I showed him my debit card. He looked it over and said he still couldn’t let me in. I was wearing a white button down shirt and a tie; I’m a woman. I feel like I was discriminated against because I am gay. There was no reason for him to deny me entry. I was dressed nicely, had a valid ID, and am well above the legal age. I am very hurt and disappointed with this negative experience at Maggie Mae’s.

The rooftop patio was very nice. Live Dj was present when I visited. You can see all of 6^th Street from the rooftop. The drinks tasted great and they were reasonably priced for 6^th Street. They had live music going on downstairs. The bartenders were attentive and very polite. I thought it didn’t make much sense that you couldn’t take glass on the rooftop. However they offer plastic cups to pour your drink into. Pretty cool spot. I’d imagine it is rocking during Mardi Gras.

Great experience here. We were touring Austin and our bartender gave the best suggestions for drinks, tour, and hang out later. Drinks were cheap and people were friendly. Will be back!!!

This rooftop bar is one of my favorite on 6^th st. Good music, good company, good service! I really like the live music scene. I have been here several times during different days of the week and the experience is always pleasant. The bar tenders are on point, solo musicians, bands playing all the time. The rooftop is the «club» part which is poppin on the weekends. All the things I enjoy when I need a break from the daily grind. Check it out!

Do bad times happen at Maggie Mae’s? If so, I’ve never had one. It’s definitely one of my favorite rooftop bars/​dance floors on 6^th street. All I need for a good time is good music, good people, and dancing. This place also loves to end the night on a good Ludacris medley which I personally always appreciate. I’ll be back Maggie Mae’s!

Loved the outdoor patio/​garden and the music. There are lots of musicians playing in the bars down 6^th street, but the outdoor patio area and the music playing at the time drew us into this bar.
The space is very large and they had have both outdoor and indoor seating. You can enjoy the music even if you choose to sit inside– they have window walls that they open up.

Best venue on 6^th St. It’s never overly crowded, there are different levels, and you can actually hear the music (not just the sound of the bass. You can actually sing along). My favorite spot is on the roof with music videos and Vanilla Ice’s «Ice Ice Baby.» You cannot go wrong with that.
Sure, it’s just a bar and you might not appreciate it as much after several drinks, but it’s a really cool place to dance, drink, and socialize.
Great for groups or a date.
Awesome atmosphere.
Winner.

Basic 6^th street bar but the bartender, Sam, was super nice and my friend and I had fun chatting with her. It was pretty slow when we came by (we were out early) so nothing much else to report.

So I had to stop in when the man singing this night came outside to serenade me and entice me to come in. It was pretty dead but I liked the music!

The most romantic bar on 6^th Street. We danced to the live band and then headed upstairs and made out in a corner table of the rooftop patio. The view of 6^th gives an above-​it-​all feeling of being a part of the action, but being alone together in the crowd. I don’t remember the cocktails because I was too in love.

When we walked by Maggie Mae’s at night, it seemed like a scene I wanted no part of. But on a quiet weekday afternoon, it was the perfect place to be.
We grabbed a few longneck bottles, walked them upstairs past the «No Glass Upstairs» signs (we’re rebels), and sipped them on the balcony as the sun went down. The rooftop is quite comfortable when no one else is up there, and we just relaxed and listened to the sounds of a talented singer playing somewhere else along 6^th Street drifting over.
And it was good.
Now, I can imagine how the service at this huge bar with multiple rooms can suffer during SXSW, but personally I’m a big fan of the staff here. Two reasons:
1. I’m pretty sure one of them gave me too much change. I realized later on, and it makes me glad I tipped him well.
2. Someone took the time to add a check-​in offer of $ 5 off Jigglewatts Tickets. I’m not sure what Jigglewatts Tickets are, but I like it.

My boyfriend took me here to show me the great upstairs deck area that looks out over 6^th street. It is a great view, but we ended up spending our time inside because there were more seats. Inside was pretty much empty because everyone was outside, very understandable. The beer selection inside was pretty minimal. They had more liquor than anything. I ended up ordering a Michelob Ultra because they had no draft selection. It came in a can so that people can’t throw glass off the balcony. Smart idea. We didn’t spend too much time here because I was anxious to find somewhere that had better beer. In general, my experience was marginal. Perhaps I didn’t give it enough time or maybe I should have been outside with a group of friends. I just thought the DJ was cheesy and the drink selection wasn’t that great.

I always love going to the Gibson Room upstairs at Maggie Mae’s but never again during SXSW. I was very disappointed the have to smell the stench of cigar smoke INSIDE. When my husband brought this up to the bartender, he informed my husband that the owner gave them the cigars to the SXSW guests!
He also acknoweldged that smoking is illegal inside. My husband then brought up this problem with the manager Jeb? and he did NOTHING! When we were leaving there were several people smoking cigarettes in the other room as well. Austin has a smoking ban law and you are not exempt. We are local Austinites and have been to The Gibson Room before– you should take care of your locals that bring you regular money and not just fawn all over and pass out cigars to the visitors from L.A.!!

I’ve noticed a pattern in Austin bars… all of the bartenders are really nice. The bartender at Maggie Mae’s was no exception.
I’ve also noticed that the drinks are cheap (a shot, a double shot, and a beer for $ 11), but seemingly watered down. If I drank at home like I drank in Austin, I’d be comatose.
Really nice rooftop deck.
