Austin's first dedicated esports taproom. PC battle stations, self-pour craft taps, console pods, and a tournament screen. We're starting with one room in North Austin — and building from there.
For thirty years the gaming community has lived entirely online. Discord servers. Ranked lobbies. Late-night queues with people you've never met in person but know better than most.
The friendships are real. The physical home never existed.
Not a bar with screens on the wall. Not a LAN cafe from 2003. A real place built from the ground up around competition, community, and coming back. That's what we're building — starting with one room.
Austin hosted the biggest esports event the world has ever seen. Then every single person drove home — because there is no permanent place in this city for the gaming community to gather. That's the gap we're closing.
We're opening in the North Burnet corridor — between Q2 Stadium and the Domain, minutes from UT and ACC. Roughly 2,000 square feet, built to do a few things extremely well rather than a lot of things halfway.
Sixteen stations built for 4v4 competitive formats — CS2, Valorant, COD. 1440p at 165–240Hz. Room to stand behind a match and watch. The setup you can't build at home.
Eight self-pour taps and the big screen in the same room. Pour by the ounce, watch the bracket, argue about the meta. All ages until 5pm daily, 18+ after.
Four tournament-ready pods — PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch 2 in every one. Smash, Tekken, EA FC, Madden. Bookable for crew nights and private events.
~2,000 SF in North Austin. Sixteen stations, eight taps, four pods, one screen. Weekly tournaments and leagues from opening week. Everything we need to prove this works — and nothing we don't.
Once the first room proves out, the full build follows — a larger venue with a proper broadcast stage, LED wall, and the capacity to host real tournaments. The first room earns the second.
Nexus is being built in public. Join the founding members who are helping shape what this becomes — before the doors open.
Where Austin's gaming community gathers. Build updates, tournament plans, and a direct line to the people making this happen.
