I cannot adequately explain how amazing our wedding celebration was at Zilker Park Clubhouse!! I'm…read moreholding a star since we received an email saying we got our deposit back Aug 12th and I still haven't seen the funds in my account- but besides that issue it's definitely got a 5 star rating! We actually got married a month prior in MA, but needed to celebrate the occasion with all our friends who live here with us in TX. This event space was perfect for a party on a budget. The view- I mean, come ON, was just incredible, and the backdrop for everyone's photos! People could not stop talking about how phenomenal it was. The process of getting the place was a bit tricky, as I could not navigate their government website to select the date and missed the cut-off time before having to do the lottery. Luckily, not a lot of people were begging for dates in August as the venue does not have air conditioning- so the heat was a bit brutal (but that's Texas!)- but we got it no problem! I ended up calling and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Speaking of air conditioning- or lack-there-of- we ended up renting some swamp coolers (huge cooling fans that run off of ice- but a LOT of ice!!) to help with the heat. There are ceiling fans and a few industrial fans included- but those don't help too much in August! I had a hard time figuring out what exactly we needed- so I'm going to add a quick "plug" for Preferred Climate Solutions our of Hutto, TX. They worked ZPC before and knew how to set things up. Brett even had an extra swamp cooler from an earlier event he let us use. Moving on- because this place doesn't require use of specific vendors- it made it that much affordable. We hired Slab BBQ to cater and Pixster photo booth for fun. For drinks, we filled out the necessary paperwork (some cheap $10ish permit? I can't quite remember) and we're able to just bring in a few kegs and boxes of wine from PartyBarn. Everything went off without a hitch! Good to note- the place provides a bunch of tables. Two huge round ones, a few smaller round and rectangle ones, and some nice cocktail tables we used on the patio. (The cocktail tables and one rectangular were good enough condition to go without tablecloths- the rest require coverings.) For lighting- it was definitely important to us to get string lights on the patio. I realized last minute that getting a few hundred feet of lights was going to be trickier than I initially thought- since I had to consider ones that connected and could manage the power of 300 ft of lights. I used Americanpartylights.com- it worked out great! They included zip ties which is important since it's against the park rules to use tape (holds better anyways.) I found a great diagram of ZPC patio for the light arrangements and measurements (photo included.) It was a perfect celebration and I HIGHLY recommend this space for any event! It has such a cool vibe even without decorations, your set up can be minimal and still look amazing. Plus... that VIEW!

After being so stressed, I remember finding this location randomly and calling to see if they had any openings in the month of January, luckily they did at the end of the month on the 31st and I looked up photos and reviews and just had to book it right away!!! Easy to find, a lot of parking space, and just beautiful. I felt so blessed to have found this place. My wedding was just so beautiful!

There are no food offerings, but the specialty drinks offered are immaculate (& ridiculously overpriced for the size). Open Thursday to Saturday from 6 PM to 2 AM, the space boasts vintage furniture, eclectic artwork, and carefully curated décor. Tiger Lilly has two floors, the first floor showcasing a bar and bar stools around and the second floor with more dining spaces and modular spaces for intimate conversations. There are also private rooms and a whole venue buyout for rent.

We actually found it pretty last minute and decided to go early since we knew we'd be taking photos and didn't want to deal with crowds. When we arrived, it was pretty quiet, which honestly worked out perfectly for us. The décor is bold and eclectic in the best way, think velvet booths, curated gallery walls, low lighting, and these amazing feathered chandeliers that tie the whole space together. We ordered the Tiger Lilly cocktail and the Elote, both were fantastic. The drinks are not only pretty but good, which isn't always a given in places that are more vibe-forward. Ours were balanced, flavorful, and well-presented. The DJ was there, early, which was a nice surprise, it gave the whole place some life without being overwhelming. The staff was super kind, especially the manager who came by to check in and even gave us a little background on the space. We appreciated how welcoming everyone was. We heard that the night before had been packed, so it sounds like this place definitely fills up later at night. We're looking forward to coming back when it's livelier to get the full experience, but for a chill early visit focused on ambiance, great service, and creative drinks, it absolutely hit the mark. Pro tip: If you're someone who loves a visually aesthetic experience and wants a place to snap a few pics before the rush, go early like we did. Can't wait to return!

The building didnt fall down, so thats a plus. The facility is simply a warehouse, more than a little ill kept, the sound system wasn't even running for the event. My guess is that it's cheap, so its still in business. Not my kind of place, but to each his own!

We ordered a plate w/ brisket, sausage, chicken, beans and guacamole. The WHOLE plate was COLD brisket was really hard nothing but fat and he ran out of chicken by the 80th plate. I ordered enough food for 200 people when he got to the 130th plate, he wanted to charge me MORE money! The server he had complained the entire time saying that she was the only one serving. She TRIED to give me attitude& it was MY wedding. She had no sense of respect, self moral or even common sense! The only people that followed through w/ their part was beto the DJ&the decorator Irma(& thats bc Mario would talk about them to us)! They shouldn't be in business w/ him anymore! & when i tried to talk to him about what was missing & about his server he had nothing to say other than i should've paid! WHEN I PAID HIM EVERYTHING CASH IN HAND! He was supposed to continue serving & he has the employees put the food away! They didn't even serve all my guests! There were 2 other people who tried to make everything better once Mario left because he was SLEEPY! According to him back in November when we first started he said he was going to make fixtures, yet there was still holes in all the walls in the RR& a BIG hole in the ceiling! Xmas lights hanging on the side walls of the inside of the venue& they were barley hanging on & looked super tacky! DO NOT GO IN HERE & DO BUSINESS W/ MARIO! His server& him ROYALY suck at their job! If I could give negative 1000 stars I would!
