About the Space

Formerly "Big Orange Studios", this space was home to a successful recording studio for over a decade. During that time it was utilized for events during SXSW by various big name companies, the most recent being "Vans Rubber Tracks". Recently renovated it is now an exclusive hideaway featuring ultra-lounge seating in an intimate setting. Mulit-purpose art house w/stage, available for live music, exhibits, film screenings, tastings, cabaret/burlesque performances and private events. The studio space and courtyard were utilized in late 2019 for a hand full of scenes in the soon to be released Austin indie film "The Roommate". The courtyard and main room were also used as a "homebase" when the crew was shooting nearby. There is optional ultra-lounge seating available for 30-35 people. Right in the heart of downtown East Austin, the 850sqft main room with optional private bar and 5000sqft courtyard w/stage can provide for cornucopia of events, parties and more... Here is a Matterport 360 Virtual Tour of the space for a closer look! https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=d72TxufUpQh&brand=0&qs=

Parking options

Metered street parking

Parking description

There is parking on site for a few vehicles, but unless specified they would not be available. The 5,000sqft courtyard could hold a good # of vehicles if looking for safe gated parking (band equipment, RV, tour bus etc.) During your rental this space would be fully at your disposal for parking or otherwise. Out on the street there is metered parking. There is usually parking available, unless there is a show at Scoot Inn across the way. Free on Sundays. There is also paid (expensive) parking in gravel lot next to Scoot Inn as well.

Space has natural light

Natural light can be blocked out

Lighting description

Natural light outside in the courtyard. No windows in the building, only the entrance door to the outside could be considered a natural light source.

Space is soundproof

Ambient noise description

Our A/C makes noise. If a concert is happening at Scoot Inn across the street, you might run into some sound bleed inside, and definitely outside in the courtyard. If there is no show at the Scoot Inn it is a very quiet street with ample parking.

Crew access

Ground Floor

Conan S. booked an event for 25 people

Yes, I would book again.

Very happy that we decided to rent this venue. It's a cool, unusual space. We and our guests loved it. It was well set up with what we needed (bluetooth connectable sound system, nice bar space with a big available yeti cooler), and had plenty of good AC blowing to keep the indoor space cool even during a super hot Austin afternoon. Highest recommendation if you want a cool party space. The host Flann is excellent--quick to answer questions, helpful, and chill and easy to work with.

Host was incredibly kind! The space provided a cool set piece. Once I went inside I already started planning a return! You can tell the Host took a lot of time to ensure the space was accommodated. I’m thankful!
