Excelente lugar. Lo recomiendo muchísimo
Attended Open Mic event at Cactus Cafe while visiting Austin Jan 2024. The artists were top notch, some professional with announced song release dates. Audience was warm to the newer artists if you’re planning to perform, just keep in mind the high talent level can be intimidating. Place was packed, guessing 100 fans with standing room only for 20 in the back…. arrive early if planning to attend. Located on UT campus, but parked on adjacent street off campus with short 5 min walk. No food or drink served in room during performances, but lots of places around nearby before and after. Free to attend.
Loved the music by Philp Gibbs with many good friends at Cactus Cafe. It is a Texas Land Mark place with great music, a sound system, and drinks.
Superb venue ... small, intimate, great sound and a well stocked bar to order your favorite cocktail, wine or ale! Always get excited when there's word of an artist coming through Austin with a stop schedule for The Cactus Cafe. Check it out!
This hidden gem is well worth your time. The music is always awesome and there is a full bar. I highly recommend the Cactus.
