It’s ok I thought it would be bigger! It’s located in a shopping plaza and is very small. I was done like in 15 minutes lol! Oh well.....

Different than the rest of the bars in dirty 6th, The Aquarium stands classy. The great ambiance and a tipsy ride down the unique snake slide calls for a fantastic night!

Absolutely the best bar experience Ive ever had. The staff were fantastic! All who worked there the night I went were very nice, present, uniform looking, and positive. Drinks were served fast and were great! Also, quick Shout out to the door guy, his name starts with an M but I cant remember it but he was very good looking! ;) Great bar, for sure will continue to recommend to everyone I know.

Usually love aquarium one of our favorite bars on 6th! Although, sadly the bouncer rudely wouldn’t let my friends and I in the bar. We had identification and everything but were still denied entry because of the bouncer’s personal opinion on how he thought “we were too drunk”. Very very frustrating. Hello?This is 6th street, people will be intoxicated. Just a friendly reminder to choose more professional bouncers:). This was on 1/3/20 around 12am.

Amazing venue that brings a fresh vibe and fun atmosphere to 6th and the Capitol city. Run by some of the best people in town that put their heart and soul into the Austin Party Scene. The staff is top notch and the music on point. Anytime there is a Cleaver on board you know it’s a good time. Kudos Aquarium.

Amazing bar! Love the new theme and the slide. What’s even better about this place is that it has some of the most friendly and cool bartenders on 6th st (shout to Josh and Dorian). Very fast service and really good drinks. If you want to have fun, this is the spot to be at.My friends and I love this bar, we’ve made some great memories at this place. Fun fun fun!

We were there during the day so definitely a different experience than others. Enjoyed good service and loved the cool theme and atmosphere. Plus how do you beat a fun slide themed like a snake!

DONT COME IF YOU ARE NOT WHITE. Once they didnt let me in because I had Air Force Ones on. The next time they threw me out for being too drunk when I did absolutely nothing wrong. Didnt fall, spill or aggravate anyone else. Ive seen people in there drop glasses, stumble unconsciously...

Apparently this bar doesn’t want certain “elements” in the bar. The door guy stated our friend couldn’t come in due to tennis shoes. While he says that, we watch a white guy leave the bar in tennis shoes. Never going here again.

The aesthetics are grandiose, to say the least. Not sure why the slide is a snake in a sea-based theme, but it’s a fun ride, and the staff is amazing. Overall one of my favorite bars on 6th

Review №25

Loved the music when I came to visit. The waitress was helpful but many items were overpriced especially going to the bar. I wouldnt argue with the prices if the restaurant wasnt so small and dirty. The fish tank was not clean at all which really upset me as a person who has fishes as well. This place has potential, however it needs some serious work.

This bar shows a very eccentric yet pleasant scene. It has recently been remodeled showing a display of party and class. The fish that are being held with in the tanks at aquarium are extremely exotic not to mention expensive. The aquarium holds one of 6th streets best bar tenders around whom I name as Rene. Rene has variety of personalized drinks created by himself. I preferably like the Tampico shot he makes but the Kermit kum is intriguing as well. Definitely 5 stars in my book

Fun, college bar on 6th with loud dance music and cheap drinks. However, there is a bit of a theft problem here. Its known for having cell phones and wallets stolen from purses and pockets, so be safe! and always keep an eye on your belongings!

Review №52

A bar that has an aquarium in it! So maybe thats not the most exciting thing but there are always nice people, good drink prices, and an excellent staff at this bar. The is a lot of room with the second story balcony. Its a 6th street bar well worth stopping into.

Review №53

This could have been an ugly review. But Ill give an extra star for the bartenders because theyre cool.I had a temporary license and showed it to the bouncer at the door. The bouncer looked at it and shook his head and handed it back to me, not letting me in. Fine thats normal. I took out my old drivers license along with the temp and handed it back to the bouncer, telling him that it was real. What he did next was so shocking you wouldnt believe it! (trying to caption it like those facebook articles)The bouncer took my temp, crumbled it up and threw it on the ground. No lie. I was so pissed. A nice stranger picked up my id and handed it back to me. Luckily there was another bouncer so I went to him and he was like Woah chill man, go ahead. Sorry about that.I went inside, got my shot of Liquid Cocaine, and left. In case you were wondering...I was sober.

The Aquarium has its moments. It can be packed and filled with people dancing and having fun. It can also smell terrible. It is what dirty 6th is all about.

Great venue, music, plenty of seating, good prices and excellent downtown social scene. Service is good, but can get a bit loud. Makes for a late, where should we go next kinda place.

Review №58

Typical college bar. Its been a go to place on dirty 6th since many of the main bars closed down. ONE WORD : CHEAP drinks. Pretty much is whats expected on dirty 6th = filthy college kids! On slow weekdays though they do offer beer pong and other drinking games.

Review №59

The guy at the door is the stupidest person to have checking ids ! We are visiting from Az and he didnt allow us to go in because he didnt know how the Az Drives License looked. Everyone in the group is well over 25 and he denied entry because he wasnt sure if they were real. When we asked to speak to the manager he said no, get out the way. Worst customer service EVER! This place deserved a ZERO rating!

Overpriced and didnt give enough alcohol. Paid 7 dollars for half a shot in some Sprite. When I told them, they brushed me off with someone remark about thats the legal amount. *Sigh weak management.
