We were visiting Austin for a work conference, and wanted to grab a drink somewhere that wasnt going to be really loud and where the staff were friendly. We came to Clive and were not disappointed! The staff was attentive and friendly, the drinks were made well and made strong, and the second night when we returned, they had a live band that was actually pretty good! 10/10 would recommend -- if you find yourself near Rainey St, definitely give the guys at Clive Bar a visit!
Love the music @ Clive! We were referred/escorted here from Lustre by Justin and it did not disappoint! AP took great care of us and the DJ rocked it!
Nice bar. It is about 3 stories tall. Good drinks. Nice atmosphere. Perfect place to watch Rain Of Destruction at little brother bar across the street.
A great place to gather in groups, plenty of space at three levels, first level completely accessible, there's an elevator to levels 2 and 3 but you'll need the bartender or the bouncer to unlock it. Pictures from Teslacon Texas 2022
Very very cool bar. Good music. Met a couple of groups who had come for their last days before getting hitched.. Met michaele who stands and delivers at the roof top.. a complete rockstar..she punches hard.. see her make some mean cocktail..most of the time she is making four drinks simultaneously like the goddess with 4 hands. Very nice finale to austin. The final goodbye to one of the most amazing places in texas.
We came in on a rainey day to Rainey street go figure lol tried all the bars and this was hands down the best bar for a rainey day with its big patio cover and they have a dj outside as well. Was our favorite thus far on Rainey St.
Coleyworld approved Has always been one of my favorite bars in Austin. Update! Visited Clive Bar last week and there were muralist painting live murals. Extremely talented muralists! @blvdart and @eveydayresearch were having a mural battle. @atx3dmap mapped the walls and the murals! It was an awesome time!
Pretty cool bar. Has multiple floors. Specialized in EDM music. They have a stage downstairs, a second floor, and a 3rd floor with a giant TV, a bunch of chairs, sofas, a bar.. This bar is such a vibe. I love it
