Although primarily a place for University of Texas students, alumni & faculty, anyone can use the many benefits this building has to offer.
There are, of course, plenty of lounges, meetings rooms & student organization offices, as well as a large offering of vendors for food and beverages.
You can rent ballrooms and other large rooms as well as use the Texas Union Catering Service.
The Cactus Cafe is a full bar and live music venue inside the Texas Union with a national reputation. Billboard mMgazine listed the Cactus as one of fifteen “solidly respected, savvy clubs” nationwide “from which careers can be cut, that work with proven names and new faces.”
The only way to tour the infamous UT Tower is through reservations at the Texas Union.
Our favorite spot in the Texas Union, besides the beautiful outdoor courtyards, is The Ungerground, where you can play billiards, glow-in-the-dark bowling, use your computer at the laptop longe, play fooseball or air hockey, and enjoy many games and big screen TVs.
We’ve rented out space in the bowling area for several children’s birthday parties.
The Texan Union is more than just a building. It’s a part of the University’s history, and an important resource for students and all who live in Austin.
