Local Intel
Antone's lives at 305 E 5th St, between San Jacinto and Trinity. One block south of the 6th Street strip, a few blocks west of Red River. The room's a legend. The curb is not. And here's what trips most people up: the club's actual rideshare and drop point isn't the front door at all. It's 213 E 5th, a few feet east on the same block. The 305 entrance backs up twice, once at door time and again right at showtime, so we pull in at 213 and you walk the last few steps. If that piece of curb is taken, the Westin valet lane straight across the street at 310 E 5th works, and so does the north edge of 5th.
Parking near Antone's
No lot at the club. None. Antone's does hand out free two-hour vouchers for the 2nd Street Garage at 117 1/2 Brazos, roughly three blocks off, and those run through late August 2026 while they last. The Westin runs valet across the street. The nearest spot you can actually reserve ahead is the Carmelo lot at 506 E 5th. Street meters sit around $2 an hour, and this block runs downtown's extended hours, enforced to midnight Wednesday through Saturday, so on most show nights the curb never goes free, and it's gone fast once a crowd shows up anyway. When we're driving, none of this lands on you. But it's the reason the curb out front turns into a knot.
Getting in and out
That 6th Street pilot put cars back on the block Thursday through Sunday, and the police can barricade it night-of the moment the crowd gets thick. So we don't lean on 6th as a way through on a weekend. We take 5th eastbound and swing through 4th or Cesar Chavez. Got a Stubb's or Mohawk show going on Red River the same night? We stay off Red River and the 9th-10th stretch completely. I-35 through downtown is the one corridor you don't fight, and we plan our timing around the 5 to 6:30 p.m. mess.
The Chauffeured Experience
This runs hourly, as-directed. The car and your chauffeur are yours top to bottom, on your clock. Dinner, then the show, then a late stop if the mood holds. We keep the plan loose and roll when you say go.
Here's how an Antone's night actually goes with us. We lock down your party and your timing first. Then we stage at 213 E 5th so you climb out a few feet from the door and skip the pile-up at 305. While you're inside for the set, the car isn't doing laps hunting a spot. Your chauffeur tucks in nearby and is back at the curb the second you text, which counts for a lot on 5th, where open curb space flips over in a hurry. When the lights come up and half the block is suddenly trying to leave at the same moment, you're not on the sidewalk poking at an app. You step out and we're sitting right there.
Routing is a read, not a recipe. Weekend night, 6th up in the air, we lean on 5th and Cesar Chavez. Coming in from the airport or the west side with I-35 stacked, we'll jump on SH-130 or the 183 Toll and skip the worst of it. Bigger group, the Flagship Jetliner Sprinter seats up to 10 with Starlink Wi-Fi, climate control, genuine privacy, and a premium sound system, so the pregame starts the minute you're aboard. Smaller crew, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade carries up to 6 in the same kind of comfort. Water and ice are on board, and BYOB is welcome for guests 21 and up.
Sold-out headliner, or one of those SXSW week nights when downtown locks down tight? We can arrange to buy nearby garage access so the car holds close instead of fighting the perimeter. We work that out one night at a time, set up in advance.

Why The Jetliner
Questions, answered
Where will the car pick me up at Antone's?
We stage at 213 E 5th, the club's designated drop point a few feet east of the door on the same block, not the 305 entrance, which crowds up at door time and again at showtime. The Westin lane across the street at 310 E 5th is our backup. After the show, you text and we're already at the curb.
Is this a one-way drop or does the car wait?
It's hourly and as-directed. Your car and chauffeur stay with you the entire outing and move on your timing. Dinner, the show, a late stop, whatever shape the night takes. There's a minimum hourly booking to reserve.
Do I need to deal with parking or a voucher?
No. Antone's has no lot, and chasing the free 2nd Street Garage vouchers is a headache on a busy night. With us, your chauffeur sits nearby while you're inside and pulls back to the curb when you text. Parking simply isn't your problem.
Which vehicle should I book for a group?
For a larger crew that wants to ride together, the Flagship Jetliner Sprinter seats up to 10 with Starlink Wi-Fi, climate control, privacy, and premium audio. For up to 6, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade gives you the same comfort. Both carry complimentary water and ice, and BYOB is welcome for guests 21 and up.
How do you handle traffic and the 6th Street closures?
The 6th Street pilot can shut that block to cars night-of on weekends, so we don't rely on it. We run 5th eastbound, use 4th or Cesar Chavez, stay off Red River when there's an overlapping Stubb's or Mohawk show, and route around the I-35 crush downtown. During SXSW week we plan well ahead for the heavy closures.
Can you combine an airport pickup with my Antone's night?
Yes. We track your flight into AUS, meet you, and run you downtown, usually 15 to 25 minutes via SH-71 to I-35, or the SH-130 and 183 Toll roads when I-35 is backed up. From there the same car carries you through the rest of the evening on an as-directed basis.
