PREPARE YOUR VISIT TO THE THROWDOWN
Distribution Hall is located at 1500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78702—and operates as an event space and production studio. Originally constructed to house Austin's first German beer importer, this thoughtfully restored mid-century structure now features a 7,000 sq-ft studio warehouse, a 3,000 sq-ft open-air hangar, and a beautiful 7,500 sq-ft courtyard and lawn.
WHERE TO PARK: Distribution Hall is located in the heart of East Austin. There's metered street parking, as well as free parking in surrounding neighborhoods. You can also utilize a 300+ public parking garage across the street—it's a flat fee of $10 per day. We always recommend carpooling and/or utilizing public transportation, if you can, though, to be conscious of traffic and congestion for our neighbors and vendors! There's also bus stop nearby.
WHAT TO DO: When you arrive at the throwdown, you'll have plenty of tables to stop by, shows to catch and activities to support.
WHAT TO EAT/DRINK: We'll have a bar, as well as food trucks, ready for you to browse upon arrival!
