As a former musician, I can be pretty hard to please, but I was absolutely blown away by the house band. Their sound, professionalism, vocals, and musicianship were incredible. The 10-piece band, known as The Matchmaker Band, played some fantastic Motown tracks, but when they performed Earth, Wind & Fire's "September," "Boogie Wonderland," and The Emotions' "Best of My Love," they truly raised the bar! It was simply brilliant! Make sure to be there if you can, it’s a must for any Monday night!

Sure, it is not the old Highball as it has seen major facelift and some of those not always come out right but we end up really rocking it and enjoyed ourselves. The whole area has changed so much and we were little confused where to park and all but it is a busy spot for sure.

On Monday nights the Highball has two 10 man bands playing Motown music and this music gets young and old onto the dance floor. I miss this place so much as i had to move away from Austin. the bar is awesome as well. They have a great beer on tap selection and nice bar tenders to help you out. the band's ladies are very attractive to say the least.
