Antone's Nightclub

Antone’s Nightclub, the first club on 6th street, opened its doors in the summer of 1975 with the great Clifton Chenier. The venue, now located at the corner of 5th and Lavaca Street, was founded by legendary promoter Clifford Antone and has hosted such blues "greats" as Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton and countless others. Antone’s has helped launch the careers of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Los Lonely Boys, Ian Moore, and Bob Schneider just to name a few. The stage at Antone’s Nightclub has been graced by everyone from Bono & The Edge of U2, to Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, to Eric Clapton, to Dwight Yoakam to Bruce Willis and Elvis Costello. This legendary venue has won countless awards, including numerous Austin Music Awards, as well as being named Nightclub of the Year by USA Today and the W.C. Handy Awards. In July of 2006, Antone’s Nightclub celebrated its 31st Anniversary and is undeniably a major reason that Austin, Texas is considered The Live Music Capital of the World. The venue is open to all ages and continues to offer unforgettable live music experiences as well as everlasting and powerful memories for everyone – both music lovers and the musicians themselves.
