The Highball

Comment on Facebook

Welcome to The Highball, the best diner this side of 1960 featuring eight lanes of bowling with rental by the hour; seven different themed karaoke rooms; four lanes of skee-ball with ticketed prizes you won’t find anywhere else and a ballroom event space set to host the best dance parties, live music, and karaoke nights that will leave you hoarse for days.

Adjacent to the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin, Texas, The Highball is also a spot to avoid the lines and hang out before the movies or enjoy coffee, dessert and delicious hand-made cocktails afterwards.
Parking

There is surface parking for the highball at the shopping center. Please note, on Friday and Saturday nights, this parking is often full. We recommend parking across the street on Gibson and South 8th Street.
