📈Monthly Receipts, December 2025 – July 2026
8 monthly returns filed by SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL. 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.
A later return was filed for July 2026 reporting no receipts. It is plotted below at the baseline and marked with a ring, but it is not treated as this venue's latest month of trade.
Monthly Revenue by Category
8 months of data • Hover or tap to explore2 of these 8 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 SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL still open?
- SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL filed a mixed-beverage return for July 2026 — that is the newest month the Texas Comptroller has published for the Austin metro, so the filing record is current. 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 May 2026, at $192,450. A current filing is strong evidence the business is operating, but the Comptroller publishes tax returns, not hours: check with SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL directly before you go.
- How much does SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL make? (May 2026)
- SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL reported $192,450 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for May 2026, -5.5% against April 2026. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $1,024,608 across 8 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue. SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL also filed a mixed-beverage return for July 2026 reporting no receipts.

The figures above cover May 2026, the newest month with receipts.
- Where is SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL located in AUSTIN?
- SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL files mixed-beverage returns for 1603 S CONGRESS AVE, AUSTIN, TX 78704, 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 SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL sell?
- Over December 2025 – July 2026 (all 8 reported months), SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL reported 68% liquor, 19% wine, 13% beer and 0% cover charges. The largest share is liquor. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL 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 SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for May 2026, SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL ranked #151 of 2012 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #16 of 134 venues in ZIP 78704. 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 SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL data cover?
- 8 reported months, December 2025 through July 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 SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL'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. SOUTH CONGRESS HOTEL last filed for July 2026, which is that frontier month.
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.
