Did the Bar Set the Bar? Opening of Sister’s Edge II

SE2_LOGO_202X100With a grand opening on Saturday, this promised to be the moment we’d been waiting for:  a new bar in our fine city just for the ladies. This new attraction opens at the end of an era—just as Rainbow Cattle Company closes its doors for good. Although RCC was never exclusively for the lez crowd, it was the closest thing we had for years. So how did it do? 

Sister’s Edge II is self-described as “a ladies bar in downtown Austin—where the boys are always welcome.” Located at 113 San Jacinto between 2nd and Cesar Chavez (formerly The Cockpit), Saturday was the big launch party to kick off the new scene. Named after the original, short-lived lesbian bar in Austin in ’97, Sister’s Edge II promised cheap beer, hot music and even hotter ladies.

The beer was cheap, but only if you got the right bartender—no surprise there. Thumbs up overall though! The cocktails were flowing, though, as they packed in the girls. According to their Facebook page, there were over 1500 people there that night (are there that many lesbians in Austin??!). When I first arrived, there were actually quite a few guys clamoring for attention from the bar, but they were soon outnumbered.

The DJ was pretty good (a little light on the hip hop, but I bet DJ Rocky B adapts for next time). The sound system was the biggest hiccup of the evening, so let’s hope they work out the kinks before next weekend.  One of the best parts, I must say, was being on a dance floor without line dancing—loved it!

To the owners of Sister’s Edge II—sending you the best of luck in making this new venue thrive. You have alot of women rooting for you!!
