Moonlight

Moonlight is an open-air bar on East 6th Street in downtown Austin, built around a climate-controlled outdoor layout rather than a traditional indoor room. The space is designed for groups, with capacity for anywhere from thirty to roughly two hundred fifty guests, and it runs rotating DJ sets and a dance floor that keeps the energy up through the night. Its best-known touch is a recurring free barbecue, with sausage wraps, burgers, and brats put out at no charge during certain events, alongside a lighter novelty like vert pong for guests looking for something besides straight drinking games. Open daily from late afternoon into the early morning, Moonlight sits in the middle of Austin's dense downtown bar district, making it an easy add-on stop for anyone already working through the 6th Street strip.
