COME AND TAKE IT LIVE

Come and Take It Live is a two-story venue at 2015 East Riverside Drive that brands itself as genre-neutral, hosting music, art, and film events across a wide spectrum. The space is substantial, with a main general admission floor, a mezzanine, an upstairs balcony, a VIP balcony, a VIP sky box, a smoking patio, an artist green room, an elevated production booth, and multiple merchandise areas. The audio and lighting systems are high-end, and the venue clearly invested in production quality. Two full bars handle the drink orders, and there are pool tables, corn hole, and TVs for when you want a break from the stage. The booking covers metal, punk, rock, hip-hop, electronic, Latin, and everything else, with a philosophy that welcomes anyone with a creative event idea. The capacity and infrastructure make it suitable for events that smaller clubs cannot handle, while the room still feels more personal than an arena. Come and Take It Live sits in the same East Riverside corridor as Emo's, an area that has become an important secondary venue district in Austin. The name is a nod to the Texas Revolutionary flag, and the spirit of the place matches, ambitious, independent, and not asking anyone for permission.
