About Scratchouse

Scratchouse is an intimate, low-capacity nightclub in downtown Austin, specializing in hip-hop, electronic and DJ-driven nights. With a standing-room-focused layout and a few high-top tables in back, it’s designed for an up-close, energetic experience. The venue regularly hosts local hip-hop showcases, EDM sets, and memorable DJ nights, including SXSW-related events and after-parties. If you’re looking for a dense, fiber of night-life energy within walking distance of hotels and transit, Scratchouse is a go-to pick in the Red River District.

We’ve got you covered for a smooth night out—from simple entry to getting there with transit options and nearby places to eat or stay—so you can secure your seats or entry with ease.

Scratchouse sits at 617 E 7th St in Austin, TX, a short walk from Red River District’s vibrant scene. Parking can be tight on the street, so consider nearby paid lots or garages along E 7th St or around 6th St. CapMetro services the area well, with the Red Line stopping at Plaza Saltillo within a reasonable walk and multiple bus routes serving the neighborhood. After your night out, you’ll find comfortable stays at nearby hotels like Fairmont Austin, Driskill Hotel, Hotel Van Zandt, and Hilton Austin, all within convenient distance. For dining, there are numerous nearby options—ranging from casual eateries to refined spots—perfect for a post-show meal or a late-night bite.

Whether you’re a local or visiting for SXSW showcases, One2One Fest memories, or a weekend club night, Scratchouse offers a warm, no-fuss experience. We’ve got you—secure your entry, plan your transport, and enjoy the vibe.
