Antone's to return downtown, lands venue on Fifth Street



After a long hunt for a new spot, Antone's, the iconic Austin live-music venue launched by the late Clifford Antone, will reopen on Fifth Street this summer in the former Maxey Glass storefront next to Eddie V's.

That location will put the club across the street from the new Westin hotel and near several other hotels, which suggests the ownership group plans to market to tourists who know the Antone's brand in the same way as bigger chains such as House of Blues or B.B. King's Blues Club.
