About Rain on 4th

Rain on 4th offers a slightly more polished take on Austin gay nightlife without losing the fun. The Warehouse District lounge starts as a sociable cocktail stop and builds into a busier night of DJs, dancing, themed parties and stage entertainment. Its Fourth Street location makes it easy to pair with neighbouring LGBTQ+ venues, but Rain can comfortably carry an evening on its own. Expect a friendly mixed crowd, a slicker setting than a dive bar and the strongest energy later at night.

What to expect

A stylish gay lounge that transitions from cocktails and conversation into DJs, dancers and a packed late-night crowd.

Rain is a hot spot! It’s been open 20 years and a safe place for the community to dance and be free. It has 4 different areas throughout the club so you can find where you vibe! Lighting and dance floor is insane with a great staff that represents everyone in the LGBTQIA+ Community. Check it out for great drink specials during the week along with drag shows and karaoke. Weekends are popping with more entertainment including go-go dancers! I’ve been going and a part of this club since they opened 🫶🏼

Visiting. Had our owala. Was empty, was told we can't take it in. Asked if I could leave it with the bartender, they said not, it has been placed outside the building on the street floor.. I said, "well guess you all are missing out on 6 people drinking at your club." He said, "We are happy to not take your money." Their loss.

Absolutely love Rain! The vibe is always fun and energetic, but what really made the night stand out was the incredible service from Matt behind the bar. He was friendly and every drink he made was spot on. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone is having a great time. If you’re in Austin, Rain is a MUST! Huge shoutout to Matt!!!

Rain is a beautiful club with great music. Unfortunately, the way the staff handled a simple situation completely ruined our experience. My friend accidentally left her work phone inside. I came back explained and completely understood when I was told by the door employee I needed to get back in line. My friend then joined me originally not explaining that we were only trying to retrieve her phone. After I showed our wristbands and explained that we had just been inside phone situation, one employee understood and the situation had calmed down. Then the door employee came over yelling that we were cutting the line. Then Multiple employees began yelling at us, even though we were not being aggressive or causing a scene. My friend had two drinks, but she was walking, speaking clearly, and communicating normally. When she backed up while people were yelling at her, she almost lost her balance, and that was then used to say she was “clearly intoxicated.” I told my friend it’s not a big deal just be quiet. Why? Try to explain surrounded by four men yelling in your face. Explaining wasn’t going to help because it has escalated. I explained that I wasn’t intoxicated and if I could go back and get the phone. The door employee basically responded that he didn’t know whether I was intoxicated either and shrugged and smirked. Then said we needed to leave the line. He didn’t feel comfortable letting us in intoxicated. We eventually stepped out of line. Several employees tried (they really didn’t) looking for the phone after I repeatedly explained exactly where it was, but no one found it. Finally, a white male employee came back and asked me where it was again. At that point, I was simply trying to get the situation resolved, so I played along with their narrative and said, “I’m sorry, she was intoxicated. We really need the work phone.” He then walked inside with me, and the phone was exactly where I had described it the entire time. That was the most frustrating part. What should have been a simple “get back in line and we’ll help you find the phone” situation turned into multiple employees yelling and assuming we were going to be hostile or already hostile because the doorman was yelling. I really wanted to enjoy this place because the club itself is beautiful and the music is great. Unfortunately, the way we were treated overshadowed all of that. Management should seriously look at how their staff handle situations like this. The man at the door was a Black male with an afro, and he was the one who escalated the situation. Even after I got out of line as he instructed, he continued speaking to me with an attitude. I stopped responding because he was clearly upset and I didn’t want to escalate things. I simply stood there quietly until the white male employee came over and helped me find the phone.
