Getaway Motor Club
In fast-growing East Austin lies an unassuming warehouse. Within that warehouse exists an exciting new event space in the form of the Getaway Motor Club. Opened in early 2013 by Bill and Jamie Jones–two brothers and car enthusiasts inspired by their hot-rodding pedigree to infuse their love for fun and fast cars into a unique space for events and live music.
The two-story, 9000 sq ft space encompasses a 4500 sq ft showroom/event space with state-of-the-art stage, visual media and audio equipment–including a 24 ft screen and multi-zoned soundscape, as well as an upstairs lounge and bar area, a game room, and VIP green room. Perfect for live music events, the showroom’s stage showcases a creative and visually striking backlit silhouette of the Austin skyline complete with color-changing backlighting.
Getaway Motor Club is all about the style of fun and fuel. Events span a large range from weddings to sport-viewing and social hangouts, with the atmosphere of the classic-car loving space definitely lending itself toward the fun and unique. Getaway Motor Club also displays its passion for fun and life within its community, and is participating in the 2013 East Austin Studio Tour.
The venue sports an 800 person standing room capacity for social or live music events, and space available for just above half of that for tabled events such as weddings. The upstairs bar and lounge can support up to 100 guests.
Pricing exists in multiple brackets for different sections of the venue, including starting rates of $1500 for the upstairs bar and lounge areas, and $3000 for the entire venue, which includes full-day rental of the facilities, access to all A/V equipment, management staff and venue cleaning fee.
