Your A-List: Best Place to Be Surrounded Pretty People
Yet every contest must have a winner. So it’s our duty to report that the top A-List spot went to Qua with 27 percent of the vote. The Fourth Street ultra-lounge made a splash last year when it installed sharks in a pool underneath the dance floor and because its dress code is slightly less casual than other Austin clubs’. (More recently, they’ve instituted college nights, when just about any attire goes.)
The Belmont, a little bit of old Vegas or Hollywood on West Sixth, came in second with 19 percent, while The Domain, the upscale shopping destination arranged like an amusement park, took third with 10 percent. Seven places — Second Street District, Beauty Bar, Four Seasons, Driskill, Union Park, J. Black’s and Pangaea — tied for fourth with 5 percent. Rain was not far behind with 4 percent, followed closely by Six with 3 percent. Red Fez, Peacock and Brown Bar took 2 percent or less.
Two credible write-ins: Parkside and Imperia

Forgot to mention, check out our myspace at www.myspace.com/quaaustin
there you will find info, photos, events, promotions and specials! Like $1 ANY beer in the club Thursday nights! Yes, that includes Stella, Dos XX, ect.
And for those who don't know yet, QUA is now 21+ and our dress code is not as strict..but please, still look fashionable...besides, the prettiest bar requires style, right?
Thanks and see you later!
