Hey, I read a review of a “reunion” concert which The WIld Seeds played at your place in October, 2001. Do you know if there is a recording of this concert? Thanks much.

I’m going to forward this to our friend Mike Hall, the singer of Wild Seeds and see what he says. Thanks for asking.
Hello, I am wanting to buy tickets for an upcoming show on Friday March 2, 2012. The Mother Hips homempage says buy tickets and it takes me to your website, but I do not see a spot to buy tickets.I am driving down from North of Dallas and want to make sure I have tickets. How do I get them?
Hi Cass,
We are looking forward to the Mother Hips shows as well. We do not have a system for advance tickets or reserve seats. The Mother Hips’ tour dates website http://www.motherhips.com/tour/ does not have a link for Hole in the Wall tickets, only a link for our website. Regardless, if you get here by 9pm, you will have no trouble getting in, although there may be a short line. They are playing two nights, so we should not be over capacity unless you arrive later.
Does Doug Cougini? Still own this place?
No, but I’d love to talk to him.
Hello, I was just wondering if the rap artist Future will be performing in this cafe on March 16,2012. If that’s a positive I’ll like to know how to buy tickets or resrve a spot and perhaps the time if there’s one. Thanks
We are checking with the promoter on that date and we will get back to you on that booking. However, we do not have a system for advance tickets or reserve seating. You will just need to make sure to be here early enough for the event.
I was there a couple weeks back and your awesome bartender had me try a pear-cider while I was there that he said was comparable to Ace Pear. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to remember what it was that I drank. Also, the amazing Schwarzbeir that was on tap there- do you know if that brand (name also escapes me) is available outside of Austin?
The schwartzbeer was by Live Oak Brewery from Austin. Perhaps the cider was called Strongbow…
Still have a softball team? Doug Cougina? Debby? Mary Green? Patty Troiana? Omar and the Howlers? Spent some wonderful time there…
so-i’m wondering where does one with a disability park at your venue? is it street only or do you guys have your own lot? thanks
It is street parking only. There is at least one handicap parking spot, on 25th at Guadalupe.
is parking available anywhere or is it death match style fighting for street parking only?
It is street parking, just like everywhere else in town. There is pay lot on the corner of 25th and Guadalupe and a parking garage at 25th and San Antonio.
Do you know how to get in contact with Todd Green? This is Julie D. I worked with him, Steve and Doug in the 70s.
I don’t know how to get in contact with him but I’d love to talk to Doug again. I met him a couple years ago and it was great hearing about the old days.

Hi, my name is Sophia and I’m a student here at UT Austin in the film school. I am an assistant producer for an upcoming short film that we are wanting to shoot from January 26-February 5 and we were wondering if it would be possible to use your space during one of those dates. We don’t have a budget for this project, it is purely for academic purposes, and we won’t be making any money off of it. We were wondering if you would be willing to help make this project come to life.
Best,
Sophia
Come by and talk to one of the managers sometime. We’ll see if we can work something out. Thanks!
If my license expires on Saturday and I can’t get a new one until next week, can I still gain admittance to the shows on Monday night or no? I understand its my fault I didn’t get it renewed, just didn’t know the policy.
No. Sorry. We require a valid Texas ID for entry.
Can I bring my 19 year old sister if its only for dinner?
Yes. East Side King has an all ages entrance off San Antonio Street.
Hi, what time is Jeff Gallagher’s set on Thurs 8-13?
Jeff Gallagher is on at midnight tonight.
I worked at the Hole from 1991 to 1997. Glad to see you were able to keep it going. It is truly a magical place.
Hi!
I’m interested in attending the Dressy Bessy Show this Saturday- are tickets still available? If so, can they only be purchased at the door?
Thanks!
Hello!
Tickets for the Dressy Bessy show on Saturday will be available for $7 at the door on the night of the show, beginning at 9pm.
Hey I think I left my card there earlier today. We were ther for like 3 hours and we paid cash but I think the last round was on me after we ordered food! I am so sorry.
Michelle,
We’re open at 3pm today (Sunday), come on by and get it. Thanks!
This is Mike Borchardt from Brooklyn band, Samantha. We are looking to be touring back through Austin with some NYC and east coast bands again this year during SXSW. We always have a blast when we play down in Austin and we’re looking to set up a show at Hole In The Wall, and we’re wondering what you might have available. I look forward to hearing back and hopefully setting something up with you!
Happy holiday,
–Mike

I think I might have lost an earring there last night. It was an unusual shape with wood & pearl. It means so much to me… if you find it please contact me at 610 442 7272.
Oh no, Heather! We haven’t found anything yet, but if we do, we’ll be in touch for sure.

Hey Benjamin,
I haven’t seen it around, but I’ll check again when I go in today. What does the bag look like?
Let me know,
Lynn
Hey I was there on Christmas Day and I think I might have left my credit card there. I know it’s been a long time but had not been able to figure out where it could be until today I had an epiphany. Is there any chance you guys have it?
Hey Mary Ellen,
I’ll check when I go in today and let you know. Talk to you soon,
Lynn
For your open mic, do bands have to bring their own drum kit and that here you can sign up ahead of time for 15 minutes slots. Can you please let me know how this works ?
Hey Gary,
We don’t have an open mic night. Is it possible you’re thinking of another venue?
Let us know what we can do!
Hi there! I hope you see this. I was there last night Wednesday 15th 2017 and was wondering who played at 8? They were great and I’d love to see them again but don’t know who thy are? Do they play every Wednesday at 8?
Thank you!
Hey Arielle,
We usually have Ethan Azarian and Jeff Johnston on Wednesdays. Was there one saw-player and one guitarist in the act you saw?
Talk to you soon!
Hey Ryan,
Sorry we missed your message until now. Were you able to work out getting your card?
Let us know!
