Song Li: This is a very friendly and cozy place. If you are finding a very stylish contemporary place this might not be it, but I came alone and already got impressed by the friendliness of the people here.
Maegan Harless: Really love coming in here. For me it's like a kid in a candy store. Their rental prices for lenses aren't bad at all, staff are immensely knowledgeable, friendly, & approachable. :)

Good Vibes: Amazing shop, cool staff, and love the support they give to photography students.
Social News Network: Don't be deterred by the bikers out front. They're friendly.
Austin Chronicle: We seriously dig this bar’s sticky-floor aesthetic and convivial vibes. The room is dark, the music is hot, the crowd is diverse, and friendly barkeeps keep the margaritas and the Two Steps flowing.
Allison Abbott: One of the best bar experiences I've ever had! Dancing to live music was a blast, and such friendly people. Can't wait to come back.
