Reviews
The staff here is legit! Make sure you get a moment to look at the back room! It has a Barbie theme & light up dance floor. This is definitely the place to be on Friday & Saturday nights! Tell Mike & Geo the owners that Medina sent you 😉
This place has some arcade games to keep you entertained. The bartenders were really nice. In the back there is a speak easy. Currently the theme of the speak easy is Barbie. The bartender said the theme changes yearly and will be changing in the next few months. They open at 9am and allow women only to be there for the first hour. Such a cute idea.
It's not made clear that the "ladies happy hour" in the Barbie pop up bar quite literally means men aren't allowed into the barbie room the entire hour. I'm a femme gay enby and I went with a solid pink outfit and full pink makeup with girlfriends of mine and was asked to leave. This should be clearly stated as the way it is phrased implies that the discount is only for women, not that the room itself is only for women. An archaic policy if you ask me and they've lost any future business from me and the women I went with.
The service was awful and the bartenders seemed bothered at any request. We asked if there was a speak easy (which there is straight back, it opens at 9:00 for ladies and 11:00 for both) under the bartenders breath he said I'm not gonna tell them because "they do not fit the vibe" I do not recommend coming here under any circumstances, there are plenty of other bars that should revive the business.
Visited Kung Fu Saloon on a humid Saturday during labor day weekend. Our group was immediately greeted by the fun bartender, who made some great drink recommendations.
While we did enjoy the large outdoor space and available games, which are the primary reasons I would recommend visiting, the indoor area got quickly crowded and loud.
The next time I'm in Austin I would consider stopping by, but I wouldn't consider it a required visit.
My non binary friend and I went decked out in full pink Barbie core on Friday and not only were we let in to the Speakeasy at 9pm by one employee, we had a 2nd employee (bartender) try and take our drink order, but we weren’t ready. Then a 3rd employee came up to us and asked my friend to leave because they saw them as male presenting , and said no men were allowed in from 9-10. We obviously were confused and assumed the noted 9-10 happy hour would have specials for women to buy in on only, not that men or non-binary people couldn’t come in. We were already sat with menus and it was so awkward and rude that they suggest I stay and that my friend wait outside for an hour! I asked if they just don't acknowledge non binary people and he straight up said no, then tried to back slide by highlighting that he didn’t make the rules his manager did. Wake up bro, this is Austin, and that was some outdated trash policy you enforced.
Very quick bar service. Bar tenders are very fun with a bubble machine gun and will make it rain napkins. Super cute back room by the bathrooms
Here for a special event, the staff was great. Classic cocktails were poured well.
The game selection is pretty darn good, plus the space opens to a brighter room and even the outside with other games available.
