📈Monthly Receipts, May 2013 – June 2026
158 monthly returns filed by EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE. Months with no filing are absent from the series rather than plotted as zero — a missing month means the venue did not file, which is not the same as reporting nothing. A month that was filed with no receipts is a real filing and is plotted, on the baseline and marked, because that too is a different fact from either of the other two.
Monthly Revenue by Category
158 months of data • Hover or tap to explore6 of these 158 months were filed as a return reporting no receipts — plotted on the baseline and ringed, because a filed $0 return is a real filing, not revenue. Months with no return filed at all are not in this series: the line skips them rather than dropping to the baseline, so a gap in filing never reads as a month of zero sales.
Annual Comparison
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year with fewer than 12 filed months is marked — a part-year total is not comparable to a full one.
📅Year by Year
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year-over-year change is shown only where both years are effectively complete — comparing a full year against a four-month stub would be a fabricated collapse.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
- Is EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE still open?
- EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE filed a mixed-beverage return for June 2026, reporting $166,741 — that is the month before July 2026, the newest month the Texas Comptroller has published for the Austin metro. Receipts publish three to four weeks after a month closes and filing cadence varies, so a one-month lag is normal and the filing record is current. A current filing is strong evidence the business is operating, but the Comptroller publishes tax returns, not hours: check with EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE directly before you go.
- How much does EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE make? (June 2026)
- EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE reported $166,741 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for June 2026, +0.0% against May 2026 and +172.0% against June 2025. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $13,006,642 across 158 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue.
- What were EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE's sales over the last twelve months?
- EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE reported $858,176 in mixed-beverage receipts over Aug 2025 – Jul 2026 (11 of 12 months filed), +11.9% against Aug 2024 – Jul 2025 ($767,239; the year-over-year comparison is measured over the 11 months both years filed, and $858,176 is this year's total over those same months).
- Where is EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE located in AUSTIN?
- EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE files mixed-beverage returns for 606 E 7TH ST, AUSTIN, TX 78701, in Travis County. The Texas Comptroller lists the address on each monthly return; it reflects the permitted location, not necessarily a public entrance or current hours.
- What does EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE sell?
- Over July 2025 – June 2026 (the last 12 reported months), EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE reported 27% liquor, 0% wine, 19% beer and 0% cover charges, with 54% reported as a total with no category breakdown. The largest share is receipts not broken down by category. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE busy? How does it rank among Austin bars?
- This dataset tracks mixed-beverage receipts, not foot traffic, so there is no direct measure of how busy EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for June 2026, EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE ranked #150 of 2003 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #54 of 260 venues in ZIP 78701. A higher-ranked venue sells more alcohol in a month; it is not a measure of how crowded it is at any given time, and that is a single month's rank, not a lifetime one.
- What time period does the EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE data cover?
- 158 reported months, May 2013 through June 2026. Mixed-beverage receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes; the newest month currently published for the Austin metro is July 2026. Every figure on this page names the exact window it covers, because a single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities.
- Where does EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE's revenue data come from?
- The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, a monthly record every Texas mixed-beverage permit holder is required by law to file. This page reads that dataset directly and adds no estimates, no modelled figures and no user reviews.
ℹ️How to Read This Page
What mixed-beverage gross receipts are
Every bar, restaurant and venue in Texas holding a mixed-beverage permit must report its monthly alcoholic-beverage sales to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Those returns cover liquor, wine, beer and cover charges. They do not cover food, retail or non-alcoholic sales, so these figures are a slice of a venue's business, not its revenue.
Why every number here names a window
A single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities, and averaging a venue's whole history produces a number that has never been true of any actual month. Each figure on this page therefore carries the exact period it covers. Where a comparison needs history this venue does not have — a full prior year, two complete twelve-month windows, three complete calendar years for a seasonal index — the comparison is omitted and the reason is stated, rather than shown as a zero.
How current is this?
Receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes. The newest month currently published for the Austin metro is July 2026, and every recency judgement on this page is measured against that month rather than against today's date — so a late publication by the Comptroller never changes a venue's status. EMPIRE CONTROL ROOM & GARAGE last filed for June 2026, 1 month behind it.
What a stopped filing does and does not mean
A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open. A gap can also be a remodel, a seasonal close, a permit transfer or a slow filer. This page never states that a business is closed; it states when it last filed.
