AUSTIN Bar Revenue History

MIDTOWN LIVE

$27,785 in mixed-beverage sales, March 2023 (-34.7% vs. February 2023)

MIDTOWN LIVE also filed a mixed-beverage return for April 2024 reporting no receipts. A zero-receipt return is a filed return with nothing on it — most often a formality on a permit period that has closed — so it is not read here as a month of trade, and no percentage on this page is measured from it. The figures above cover March 2023, the newest month with receipts.

📊About MIDTOWN LIVE

MIDTOWN LIVE reported mixed-beverage sales at 7408 CAMERON RD STE E, AUSTIN, Texas 78752 in Travis County. Its last reported month was March 2023, at $27,785. The Comptroller record stops there. 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.

Across its filing history this location reported $1,007,201 over 50 monthly returns, March 2020 through April 2024 (2020 – 2024). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was July 2021, at $57,772.

The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for this location as having ended on 2024-04-03. That is the state saying the permit period closed, which is stronger evidence than a simple gap in filings — but it still describes a permit, not a front door.

📈Monthly Receipts, March 2020April 2024

50 monthly returns filed by MIDTOWN LIVE. 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.

Return filed, no receipts

18 of these 50 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.

🗓️Seasonal Pattern

How MIDTOWN LIVE distributes its year, averaged over 2021 – 2023. 100 equals this venue's own average reported month — the index compares the venue to itself, never to another bar. Its strongest month is March (144), its weakest is November (53).

Across every Austin-metro venue with enough history to measure (2017 – 2025), the strongest month overall is October, around ACL Fest and the weakest is January. MIDTOWN LIVE runs on a different calendar — its strongest month doesn't match the region's.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MIDTOWN LIVE still open?
The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for MIDTOWN LIVE as having ended on 2024-04-03, with its final return filed for April 2024. That is the state stating the permit period closed, which is the strongest closure signal in this dataset — but it describes a permit, not a front door. That return reported no receipts — a filed return with nothing on it, which is not a month of trade. Its newest month with receipts is March 2023, at $27,785. 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.
How much does MIDTOWN LIVE make? (March 2023)
MIDTOWN LIVE reported $27,785 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for March 2023, -34.7% against February 2023 and -28.1% against March 2022. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $1,007,201 across 50 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue. MIDTOWN LIVE also filed a mixed-beverage return for April 2024 reporting no receipts. A zero-receipt return is a filed return with nothing on it — most often a formality on a permit period that has closed — so it is not read here as a month of trade, and no percentage on this page is measured from it. The figures above cover March 2023, the newest month with receipts.
Where was MIDTOWN LIVE located in AUSTIN?
MIDTOWN LIVE filed mixed-beverage returns for 7408 CAMERON RD STE E, AUSTIN, TX 78752, in Travis County. The address is taken from the venue's filings, the most recent of which covers April 2024.
Is MIDTOWN LIVE 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 MIDTOWN LIVE is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for March 2023, MIDTOWN LIVE ranked #1081 of 1697 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #17 of 33 venues in ZIP 78752. 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 MIDTOWN LIVE data cover?
50 reported months, March 2020 through April 2024. 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 MIDTOWN LIVE'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. MIDTOWN LIVE last filed for April 2024, 27 months 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.
