by Bryan B. on We went by this place on a Saturday night and from our experience at the door I can't imagine I'd ever try to go back here. It is very expensive to get in and you'll most likely have to buy bottle service. We were in line for about 15 minutes and nothing about the crowd made us want to go to this place. I got the impression that if we ended up going here it would mean we were missing out on some of the much cooler spots in Manhattan.
by Kelly S. on Ok, first thing: there's no reason for the Mexican Martinis to be limited to 2, unless you're some sort of 95-pound sorority girl. They're not THAT strong, at least not when I've had them. The bar area downstairs is a bit too small, and it's louder than hell in there. But the more margaritas you have, the more you're able to just yell over the noise. ;-) The pomegranite margaritas are pretty good and don't have an arbitrarily-imposed limit, so I'd go that way. I haven't had the food at this location, but I had it at the one on Burnet - and I thought it was damn good. I had a chicken taco, with the rice and black beans, and it was all really yummy. OH, and their tortilla soup was FAB!!! Seriously really, really good. Pretty spicy, so you need to be ok with that.
by Xavier Sparano on Hmmm...when I first heard the concept for the bar I was mildly interested in how they were going to pull it off. Austin is not a glam and neon type club scene, and certainly NOT Sixth Street. Charging cover on Sixth Street? Almost seems blasphemous. I have taken to calling the club "PURE-tentious" after a night a while back when a friend went to the club and was turned away because of "rips" in his jeans. As he walked away the door guy said, "you probably bought them that way too didn't you fag?". Actually he did buy them that way and the probably cost more that the little prick at the doors car payment. But that is a moot point, it was rude and uncalled for. Pure is incredibly out of place on Sixth Street and it's oddity fails to make it a novelty, which would at least be interesting, and just makes it an annoyance. I have friends who work there and if you are one of them and you read this, remember it's not personal, it's just a job. SO....the drinks are way overpriced, the door staff likes to play tough like they are protecting the damn Hope Diamond or something but in reality they aren't protecting much. Internally it is a beautiful bar, lots of neon, nice materials, very cool look but it does little to combat the crappy drinks, exorbitant prices, pretentious staff and the wrong DJ. I was there opening night and I have been in there a few other times since but never for more than a few seconds. I just can't handle it. Now don't get me wrong about the DJ comment, the DJ there is very good at what he does but it just isn't Austin, Texas nightlife type music. Playing crazy mash-ups and changing it up every twenty seconds works if you are a huge celebrity DJ (Oakenfold, AM, Tiesto) but unless people are paying their hard earned cash to see YOU, it's not gonna work. Being a DJ in Austin I frequently hear that the biggest complaint with the club is the music. It is hard to find your groove or get dancing, and what the hell happened to the sing along? Pure would be better suited in Miami, Las Vegas or even Los Angeles but it just doesn't work in Austin. Maybe if they lost the asshole attitude, started treating fellow service industry people with respect and lowered their prices this place could become a novelty and be worth stopping by once in a long while, but as of right now, it's just not worth it. It's just not Austin.
