We loved our wedding at Zilker CLubhouse. Great building that fit 100 guests and a small band/dance floor on a cold day. The view and patio are wonderful. Lots of space for people to mill about and for kids to run around. It was affordable and in the city, both of which were really important to us. It was nice having our event in a historic building with lots of character.

We loved this venue for our daughter's HS graduation! It was very affordable and making the reservations and working with city to understand all the rules, etc was smooth and accessible. . The view is amazing! The layout of the venue is wonderful for medium size groups. We were happy that the chairs and tables came with the venue. The house seems like it needs the most attention and updating- while keeping the historical elements. Mostly in the kitchen and maybe the bathrooms. As for AC, I'm not sure how helpful that would be if the primary beauty is the outdoor view. If updates change the historical element much, it'd be better not to renovate. It is such an amazing place, and uniquely accessible to most families living in Austin. Don't change it and price-point it out of the reach of these families.

We had it in January and it was great and not having AC wasn't an issue. Scrambling to clean up and get out since it was a night event was a little nerve racking. Parking was also a little bit of a problem but we found room for everyone and many carpooled. The process for renting it was a little archaic but I'm glad it is available for Austin residents.

I thought it was delightful, though bathrooms needed sprucing up.
A lighter paint on inside might brighten the place. its a bit over brown. Maybe a nice grey.
The view is wonderful.
THe road leading to it is abysmal

The view from the patio was incredible at night! Installation of an HVAC system is a must. We used it in November and the weather was fine, but when we used it in early October, it was miserably hot.

Would a dedicated "Green Room" where a bride or groom could get dressed and prepped or other "back of house" area improve the function of the Zilker Clubhouse as an event venue? Please slide the response to how strongly you feel.

The Clubhouse is a historic facility and therefore is not air conditioned in the Main Hall. Based on your experience in the space, please position the slider to identify how strongly you feel between these two options.

My response depends on the way the AC would be installed. An AC would have given our wedding group more comfort, but it wouldn't have been worth the tradeoff of large AC ducts were weaving in and out of the charming rafters in the ceiling. Also related, please consider relocating the large heaters on either end with any new HVAC system. They currently do take away from the historic feel of the clubhouse and are difficult to keep out of frame in photos :-)

I wish there were ways to help cool the space without having to add a/c. I love the look of the facility.

AC or large ceiling fans are needed but this can and should be done in such a way that the historic nature is not damaged.

Absolutely, hands down a must have here in Central Texas. I would not use this venue for anything between mid-April to mid-October.

Our last event was in January, so, not a big deal. However, it would be ideal if A/C could be done in a non-intrusive manner. We do live in Texas after all!

There is a grassy lawn on the north side of the building. Would improvements to this lawn area enhance future experiences at this site?

When considering the kitchen area, what is the most critical feature that could be improved?
I think more prep space is needed. It feels and looks very cold and dirty now so new flooring would help.

An exterior entrance would be helpful for loading materials & removing trash

Larger refrigerator would be nice.

More counter tops to cut/prepare things

It needs a more efficient stove
